TETTIGONIA. 281 
the centre of the vertex (instead of being continued to the apex), there is a dark central 
stripe on the pronotum and scutellum (which is wanting in 7. sagata), and the coloration 
of the sides of the tegmina is different. 
132. Tettigonia anita, sp.n. (Tab. XIX. fig. 2.) 
Robusta, nigra, flavo vel viridescenti-flavo longitudinaliter vittata; capite rotundato; fronte nigra ; 
tegminibus postice maculis quibusdam rubescentibus vel flavis vel rufo-flavis instructis; alis fuscatis ; 
abdomine lete rufescente ; pedibus dilute flavis. 
Comparatively a stout species, black, with a semicircular yellow band on the vertex, and a small similarly- 
coloured spot, sometimes absent, at the base of the head, from which is continued a yellow band to 
the apex of the scutellum, and narrowly along the suture to the apex of the clavus, where it is joined 
by two lateral yellow or greenish or bluish bands proceeding from each end of the semicircular band on 
the vertex; the sides of the tegmina are black, with pink, crimson, or orange spots or patches towards 
the apex ; wings dark ; abdomen bright red, pygofer testaceous or fuscous ; underside of front-parts and 
legs clear light yellow. 
Long. 6—7 millim.; lat. ad hum. vix 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
133. Tettigonia lativittata, sp.n. (Tab. XIX. fig. 3.) 
Parva, quoad staturam varians, flava, nigro, viridescente et ceruleo variegata, vitté lata centrali, duabusque 
lateralibus ab apice verticis ad apicem clavi continuatis, aliisque ad latera tegminum, nigris; alis 
fuscatis ; corpore subtus pedibusque flavis. 
A small species, varying considerably in size, with the ground-colour yellow or greenish-yellow, the hindmost 
stripe being usually bluish, and with a very clear and broad black stripe continued from the apex of the 
vertex to the apex of the clavus, where it is joined by two other stripes which commence in front of 
the head before the eyes; head triangular, produced, eyes scarcely prominent; the sides of the tegmina 
are striped with yellow, blue, and black, and the apical portion is fuscous, in part clear hyaline, with one 
or two yellow or blue spots or bands ; underside and legs light yellow. 
Long. 5-64 millim.; lat. ad hum. 1-13 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Nicaraaua, Chontales (Janson) ; 
Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Our collection contains a considerable series of this insect, which appears to be allied 
to T. obtecta, Sign., from Peru. In this and the three following species the striped 
pattern is continued over the whole surface from the vertex to the hinder portion, and 
the ground-colour is more or less evenly divided, so that it may be equally reasonable 
to describe them as black with yellow stripes, or yellow with black stripes. 
A specimen from Bugaba is figured. 
134. Tettigonia salutaris, sp.n. (Tab. XIX. fig. 4.) 
Nigra, miniato-virgata; capite sat magno, ante oculos prominulos modice producto rotundato; fronte dilute 
flavo-testacea, vertice miniato maculis duabus parvis anticis, magnd macula semicirculari ante basim 
instructo, sed colore variante; pronoto nigro, virgis tribus latis miniatis ; scutello rufo-notato; tegminibus 
vitté lata miniat&é ad suturam clavalem, aliaque lunat& sub apice, marginibus late testaceis; corpore 
subtus et pedibus dilute testaceis. 
Deep velvety-black, with the head in part, three longitudinal bands on the pronotum, the central one usually
