GYPONA. 309 
scutellum testaceous, with the basal angles broadly infuscate, the extreme corners being light, and with 
two dark spots on the disc ; tegmina hyaline, with testaceous veins and irregular dark spots in the inter- 
spaces, a rather large irregular patch near the middle being the most conspicuous; wings slightly 
smoky ; abdomen reddish-brown above ; underside and legs testaceous, with the pygofer, the sides of the 
chest, and more or less of the tibie# and tarsi, dark, or almost entirely reddish-brown. 
Male unknown. Female with the apex of the last ventral segment very slightly and broadly sinuate, almost 
straight. 
Long. 9 millim.; lat. ad hum. 23 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Amula and Omilteme in Guerrero 6000 to 8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
This species has the head very slightly produced, if viewed from the side, and may 
almost be regarded as a link between the two sections of the genus.

disco fusco inclusis, conspicuis; alis fuscis ; abdomine fusco ; pedibus testaceis, nigro notatis. 
Mas segmento ultimo ventrali penultimo vix longiori, margine apicali subtruncato, ad medium minute emargi- 
nato, linea longitudinali elevaté pone emarginationem instructo. 
Femina segmento ultimo ventrali late et profunde emarginato, emarginatione ad medium lobata. 
Fusco-testaceous, with the head, pronotum, and scutellum irrorated with minute black specks, the pronotum

Male with the last ventral segment of the abdomen a little longer than the penultimate, with the apical

elevated, smooth, longitudinal line. 
Female with the last ventral segment broadly and deeply emarginate, with a short and broad lobe in the centre 
‘of the emargination. 
Long. 7 millim.; lat. 2 millim.

We figure a specimen from Teapa.
