1. Gypona germari. (Tab. XX. figg. 2, 2a, 6, 2; 3, 3.) 
Gypona germari, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxv. p. 84°. 
Hab. Mexico, Ciudad in Durango 8100 feet, and Presidio (forrer), Omilteme, 
Xucumanatlan, and Chilpancingo in Guerrero, 4600 to 8000 feet, Cuernavaca in Morelos, 
Atoyac in Vera Cruz, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith), Vera Cruz (Mus. Holm. 1), 
Orizaba (Sallé; Godman; H. H. Smith; Bilimek, in Mus. Vind. Ces.), San Lorenzo 
(Trujillo); GuaTEMALA, near the city and Capetillo (Champion); Nicaragua, Chontales 
(Janson); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
In the male of this species the last ventral segment is scarcely longer than the 
penultimate, subtruncate at the apex. In the female, which was apparently unknown 
to Stal and Spangberg, the last segment is emarginate in a larger or smaller arc. Stal 
says, “ vittis pluribus verticis thoracisque necnon venis tegminum pallide flavescentibus”; 
but this character appears to be fugitive on the head and pronotum, owing to the 
fading of the colour of the insect after death; the veins of the tegmina are, however, 
usually distinctly marked by greenish or pale yellow lines. 
There are three or four obscure, doubtful, or faded insects in our collection near 
G. germari which may very probably belong to new species, but they cannot be 
satisfactorily described from the examples before me. The specimen figured is from 
Cuernavaca. 
* Gypona decorata can hardly be said to have the interstices of the tegmina irrorated, but there are a 
number of smaller and larger markings upon them, and the insect cannot well be classed with the next 
section,
