apice truncato, vel ad medium vix emarginato. 
A clear hyaline greenish species, with the tegmina transparent ; head rather long, with the ocelli small and 
closely approximate ; the pronotum with traces of yellowish markings, which are probably more distinct 
in life; legs and abdomen greenish. 
Male unknown. Female with the last ventral segment of the abdomen broadly and deeply emarginate, and 
with a broad central lobe, which is not strongly produced, but almost truncate at the apex. 
Long. 10 millim.; lat. ad hum. 34 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Amula and Xucumanatlan in Guerrero 4600 to 7000 feet (H. H. Smith).

9. Gypona lacteipennis, sp. n. (Tab. XX. figg. 10, 3; 11, 2.) 
Robusta, dilute testacea vel flava; capite brevi, antice rotundato, ocellis modice approximatis; pronoto capite 
duplo longiori, levissime transversim rugoso ; tegminibus subhyalinis, spatiis intra venas testaceo perobscure 
maculatis ; alis lacteis, opacis ; abdomine flavescenti; pedibus dilute testaceis. 
Mas. Minor ; segmento ultimo ventrali penultimo paullo longiori, fere recto. _ 
Femina segmento ultimo ventrali sat profunde emarginato, basi emarginationis sinuata, lobis lateralibus 
angustis. 
A robust, yellow or yellowish-testaceous species, with the head short and distinctly narrower than the base of 
the pronotum, rounded in front; eyes a little prominent; ocelli about as far from one another as from 
the eyes; pronotum from two to two and a half times as long as the head, very finely rugose trans- 
versely, of a lighter yellow colour in front; tegmina with the spaces between the veins obscurely mottled 
with testaceous ; wings milky-white, opaque ; abdomen yellow or testaceous ; legs testaceous. 
Male with the last ventral segment a little longer than the penultimate, the apical margin almost straight. 
Female with the last ventral segment rather deeply emarginate, the emargination being sinuate at the base and 
slightly produced in the centre ; side-lobes narrow. 
Long. 10-11 millim. ; lat. ad hum. 4 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalisco (Sehumann), Mescala, Acapulco, and Chilpancingo in Guerrero 
(H. H. Smith). 
This species may be distinguished by its robust form, short and comparatively broad 
head, and opaque wings, and by the form of the last ventral segment of the female. 
The insect figured is from Chilpancingo.
