There is a single example of this insect in our collection, and unfortunately it is one 
of the very few specimens from which the locality-label is missing; it is, however, so 
very distinct and conspicuous a species that I have no hesitation in describing it, as no 
mistake could possibly arise regarding it. 
145. Tettigonia rufoapicata, sp.n. (Tab. XIX. fig. 16.) 
Olivacea vel viridi-olivacea ; capite lato, rotundato, haud angulato, oculis prominulis, vertice limbo lato flavo- 
rufo post hune testaceo-nigro figurato; pronoto sat longo, limbo laterali flavo-rufo, antice testaceo, 
figurato; scutello testaceo, regulariter figurato; tegminum marginibus et apice late flavis, rufis, colore 
apicali supra et infra nigro limitato ; abdomine supra rufo ; corpore subtus testaceo ; pedibus dilute testaceis 
vel albidis, 
Olivaceous, with a broad red border reaching round the front of the head and continued to within a short distance 
of the apex, where it is interrupted by a black band, behind which the apical portion of the tegmina is 
broadly orange-red, the apex itself being black ; head broad, rounded and not angular, testaceous behind 
the red border and regularly figured with black ; the front of the pronotum and the scutellum are also 
testaceous and regularly figured; abdomen red above; underside and legs testaceous, the latter being 
very pale. 
Long. 7 millim.; lat. 13 millim. 
Hab. Nicaraeva, Chontales (Janson); Panama (Boucard), Bugaba (Champion). 
We figure a specimen from Bugaba. 
146. Tettigonia orbata, sp. n. (Tab. XIX. fig. 17.) 
Olivacea vel viridi-olivacea; capite rotundato; fronte testaceé ad medium nigra, vertice testaceo nigro 
figurato, oculis prominulis ; pronoto viridi, limbo antico late testaceo, convexo, nitido; scutello testaceo,

Olivaceous, with a brown or green tinge; forehead testaceous with a broad black central band, or almost 
entirely black, the vertex and scutellum testaceous, regularly figured with black ; head rounded; pronotum 
with the front part testaceous ; tegmina with the apex narrowly hyaline, the extreme tip being black ; 
abdomen crimson ; sternum and front pairs of legs light testaceous, the hinder pair more or less red. 
Long. 6 millim.; lat. 13 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 
In shape this insect is very like 7. rufoapicata, but it differs very much in coloration, 
and is evidently distinct. The two species come from widely separated localities.
