GYPONA. 301 
rugose; scutellum produced into a sharp point behind ; tegmina narrow, coarsely and evenly reticulate, 
with the veins thick and strongly marked; wings large, with the base and the veins bright crimson ; 
abdomen bright crimson above, light yellow beneath; legs testaceous. 
Male with the last ventral segment scarcely longer than the penultimate, gently arcuate at the margin. 
Long. 12 millim.; lat. ad hum. 4-44 millim, ; 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
One male specimen. This isa very distinct species, and, when the tegmina are 
extended, is very conspicuous by reason of the large and broad bright crimson abdomen 
and the crimson veins and base of the wings.

Hab. Mexico 1. 
In the female of this species the last ventral segment of the abdomen is said to be 
very broadly sinuate at the apex. I have not seen a specimen of it, but its proper 
position seems to be near G. puniceiventris.
