304 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
This species may be easily recognized by reason of its shape and colour and the form 
of the last ventral segment of the female. A specimen from Bugaba is figured. 
22. Gypona notanda, sp.n. (Tab. XXI. figg. 2, 2a, 6, 2.) 
Fusco-castanea, colore obscuriori et dilutiori plus minusve variegata ; capite parvo, antice rotundato ; ocellis 
approximatis, oculis prominulis ; pronoto capite multo latiori, lateribus late testaceis, colore testaceo nigris 
vittis (interdum deficientibus) limitato, et interdum vitta nigra centrali longitudinali instructo; scutello 
castaneo, postice acute producto, punctis duobus testaceis apicem versus notato; tegminibus maculis 
quibusdam testaceis fuscisque plus minusve obscure variegatis ; alis fumosis; corpore subtus pedibusque 
fuscis. 
Mas minor, tegminibus distinctius variegatis, segmento ultimo ventrali fortiter ad medium carinato. 
Femina major, segmento ultimo ventrali tenuiter sinuato, ad medium leviter producto et minute emarginato. 
Dark castaneous-brown, usually more or less obscurely variegated with fuscous, the pronotum often with 
darker bands and the sides broadly testaceous ; occasionally a dark longitudinal band is present on the 
centre of the disc of the pronotum and may be continued on to the head ; head small, with the ocelli 
much closer to one another than to the eyes; pronotum much broader than the head; scutellum with 
two small testaceous spots before the apex; tegmina with scattered testaceous markings,.a common spot 
before the apex being usually more conspicuous than the rest; wings dark ; legs and underside fuscous. 
Male smaller, with the tegmina more distinctly variegated, and with the last ventral segment strongly carinate 
in the middle. 
Female larger, with the last ventral segment not very deeply sinuate, broadly and feebly produced in the 
middle, and slightly emarginate in the centre of the produced portion. 
Long., ¢, 10, lat. ad hum. 4 millim.; long., 2, 14, lat. ad hum. 5 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Guaremata, San Gerdénimo, 
Lanquin, and Teleman in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
It is possible that the males belong to a different species, but I cannot satisfactorily 
separate them. We figure a specimen from Bugaba.

The female of this species was unknown to Spangberg; it has the last ventral 
segment broadly bisinuate and produced into a short and obtuse lobe between the 
sinuations, the lobe itself being distinctly emarginate. In the male the last ventral 
segment is almost half as long again as the penultimate, with the apex slightly 
rounded. A specimen from Atoyac is figured.
