ANAPLECTA; £7 



costal field not so broad, occupied by numerous regular, approximated, and parallel 

 costal veins. The costal margin is not much arcuate. The hind wings are also 

 differently formed in the two species.

Sat minuta, statura A. domestical et illi sat similis. Fulvo-rufescens. Caput fuscum. Antennae fusco- 

 testaceae. Pronotum ellipticum, disco aurantio, impressionibus perspicuis ; marginibus lateralibus latius- 

 eule fulvo-testaceo-pellucentibus. Elytra abdomen parum superantia, aurantio-testacea, area basali 

 leviter pallid iore, campo anali et basi eampi discoidalis infuseatis ; apice acuminato ; margine suturali 

 recto, costali valde arcuato. Campus marginalia latus, venulis costalibus 6-7, ultimis irregularibus sat

 parabolicus, ut in A. elliptica (comp. Tab. IV. fig. 8) sed apice acutior, infuscatus, parte antica obscuriore 

 ejus vena postica apicem haud attingens, sed fere ad § longitudinis fracta, oblique ad marginem posticum

 longior quam latior, margine basali obtusissime angulato. Coxae basi infuscatae. Lamina supra-analis 

 transversa ; cerci testacei.

This species is closely allied to A. fallax ; but in A. fallax the elytra are a little 

 more rounded at the tip, reticulated only at the end, and the appendicular field ( $ ) of 

 the wings is much shorter, not so long as broad, while the contrary is the case in 

 A. decipiens ( $ ). Nevertheless, A. decipiens and A. fallax may belong to the same 

 species. Also very similar to A. lateralis (Burm.), Brunner, of South America ; but 

 the appendicular field of the wing is much wider and more rounded in A. decipiens.
