812 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
of the female; the absence of the small black spots seems to be constant, but is, of course, not a 
character on which to found a new species. 
Long. 8-83 millim.; lat. ad hum. 23 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
Four males and three females. Perhaps a form of G. vinula? 
45. Gypona tergata, sp.n. (Tab. XXI. figg. 20, ¢; 21, 21a, 2.) 
Capite pronotoque flavo-testaceis ; illo sat brevi, ocellis inter se et ab oculis fere eque distantibus, hoc immacu- 
lato vel duabus maculis parvis nigris pone ocellos dispositis vel fusco irrorato, fortiter transversim striato ; 
scutello magno testaceo, antice fusco variegato; tegminibus testaceis ad suturam late fusco vel rufo-fusco 
variegatis ; corpore subtus pedibusque dilute testaceis. 
Mas segmento ultimo ventrali subtruncato. 
Femina segmento ultimo ventrali levissime sinuato, fere recto. 
Elongate, subparallel, with the head and pronotum testaceous, the latter with or without two minute black 
spots in front, and occasionally with larger or smaller markings ; scutellum large, variegated with fuscous 
in front, immaculate behind; tegmina testaceous, with the internal margin broadly dark: when they 
are joined, these markings form a broad band down the middle, and just at the centre is a more or 
less distinct dark patch, which makes the band appear denticulate, this becoming less conspicuous or 
disappearing towards the apex, the veins alone being dark ; underside and legs light testaceous. 
Male with the last; ventral segment subtruncate, somewhat rounded. 
Female with the apex of the last ventral segment very gently sinuate, almost straight. 
Long. 8-9 millim.; lat. ad hum. 23-3 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Orizaba (Godman, H. H. Smith), Omilteme and Xucumanatlan in 
Guerrero 7000 to 8000 feet (H. H. Smith); GuatTeMata, Chiacam, San Gerénimo, Cerro 
Zunil (Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
It is possible that the specimens included under G. ¢ergata may belong to more 
than one species, but there are one or two intermediate forms. An example from 
Omilteme is figured. 
46. Gypona hieroglyphica, sp.n. (Tab. XXI. figg. 22, 22 4,6, 2.) 
Dilute testacea ; capite brevi, ocellis inter se quam ab oculis vix longius distantibus, oculis prominulis; pronoto 
punctis quatuor ad marginem apicalem dispositis; tegminibus haud nigro irroratis, maculis quibusdam 
majoribus sat conspicuis notatis; abdomine supra ferrugineo, subtus cum pedibus dilute testaceo. 
Mas ignotus. Femina segmento ultimo ventrali leviter sinuato. 
Of a light testaceous colour, with four small spots on the apical margin of the pronotum and a few irregular 
markings on the tegmina black ; head short, rounded, the ocelli about as far from one another as from 
the eyes; scutellum large, with "the basal angles fuscous; abdomen ferruginous above, light testaceous 
beneath. 
Male unknown. Female with the last ventral segment gently sinuate at the apex. 
Long. 6-7 millim.; lat. ad hum. 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Guatema.a, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
Closely allied to G. proscripta, and at first described by me as a variety of that 
species. The Mexican insect is figured.
