The above synonymy appears to be correct. Walker’s localities are not always to 
be depended on, and it is quite possible that the type of G. vulnerata may have come 
from Mexico. 
This is a very distinct insect, rather broad, slightly wider behind than in front, with 
the tegmina greenish (but soon fading to brown in old specimens), and rather broadly 
ferruginous at the base around the scutellum. In the female the last ventral segment 
is deeply excised in the middle, and the apex of the excision is sharply emarginate 
and furnished with a small fold on each side, the side-lobes of the segment being 
broad and considerably produced. The insect figured is from Atoyac. 
20. Gypona postica, (Tab. XX. figg. 21, 21a, 6, 3.) 
Gypona postica, Walk. List of Homopt. Ins., Suppl. p. 258°. 
Hab. Mexico (Sallé); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Bugaba (Champion). 
There are three males of this species in our collection. The colour is apparently 
very variable: the head, pronotum, and scutellum are entirely testaceous, with the 
ridge separating the vertex and metopidium dark; or entirely fuscous-black, with or 
without obscure lighter markings, and the apex of the scutellum only testaceous. 
The tegmina are hyaline, with strongly marked and coarsely reticulate dark veins, 
which are thicker at the base, and in lighter specimens present the appearance of a 
darker band round the scutellum. A specimen from Bugaba is figured.
