TETTIGONIA. 285 
We figure a specimen of the ordinary form from Teapa and one of the var. propior 
from Bugaba. 
142. Tettigonia pectoralis, sp.n. (Tab. XIX. fig. 13.) 
L. rufimargo affinis, sed capite longiori, minus obtuso, unicolori viridi-testaceo, oculis minoribus et minus 
prominulis, et fronte et sterno nigris concoloribus, distinguenda. 
Allied to 7. rufimargo, but differing from it in having the head rather longer and more pointed, and of a 
unicolorous testaceous colour, the eyes sinaller and less prominent, and the forehead and all the front 
parts of the underside deep black; abdomen crimson above, light testaceous beneath ; legs testaceous. 
Long. 5 millim.; lat. 1 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
It is possible that this insect may be another variety of 7. rufimargo, but it appears 
to be quite distinct. 
143. Tettigonia miniaticeps, sp.n. (Tab. XIX. fig. 14.) 
Capite, parte tertié anteriori pronoti, scutello, pedibus et corpore subtus lete miniatis vel flavo-miniatis ; capite 
sat magno haud triangulari, rotundato, macula magna nigra in disco verticis, aliaque parva ad summam 
frontem instructo; pronoto convexo, lateribus fere parallelis, antice miniato, ad medium viridi-testaceo, 
postice chalybzeo; scutello unicolori; tegminibus et alis nigro-cwruleis vel chalybeeis, nitidis, ad marginem 
antice anguste viridi-testaceis ; abdomine supra puniceo. 
Head scarlet or orange-scarlet, with a large dark spot on the disc of the vertex and a smaller one in front of 
this, rather large, rounded (not triangular), eyes prominent, ocelli with a narrow black rim; pronotum 
with an orange band at the margin, a greenish one behind this, and the basal part dark steel-colour ; 
scutellum unicolorous orange-scarlet ; tegmina steel-blue, with the margins in front narrowly and a few 
obscure markings near the shoulders more or less greenish or testaceous, these latter, however, are often 
very indistinct ; abdomen above crimson ; legs and underside orange-scarlet or orange. 
Long. 6-7 millim. ; lat. vix 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Orizaba (F. D- Godman & H. H. Sinith), Vera Cruz, Atoyac, Teapa, 
Frontera (H. H. Smith); Guatemata, Coatepeque, Cerro Zunil, Las Mercedes (Cham- 
pion); Nicaracua, Chontales (Janson); Panama, Bugaba, David, Volcan de Chiriqui 
(Champion). 
This is a very distinct and handsome species. ‘There is a large series of it in our 
collection, consisting of upwards of 150 examples, and it seems to be widely distributed, 
but I cannot find that it has ever been described before. 
A specimen from Teapa is figured. 
144. Tettigonia spectanda, sp.n. (Tab. XIX. fig. 15.) 
Preecedenti affinis, sed major ; capite sat brevi, rotundato, lete miniato; fronte testaced, late nigro lineata, 
basi nigra maculis quatuor parvis testaceis ; pronoto longo, olivaceo, late miniato limbato, margine antico 
anguste testaceo, colore nigro limitato ; scutello testaceo, nigro figurato ; tegminibus ab humeris usque ad 
apicem miniato limbatis, margine extremo apicem versus anguste nigro ; alis fusco-fumatis ; abdomine 
rufo; corpore subtus cum pedibus testaceis, ad partem fuscis. 
Allied to 7. miniaticeps, but considerably larger; olivaceous, with a broad scarlet border continued along 
the whole length of the tegmina and pronotum, this being very wide on the pronotum, and with the
