CAPTJCINA. 103 



profunde inciso. Cerci deplanati, subacuti, laminam supra-analem leviter superantes. TJltimum 

 segmentum ventrale lamellare, latum, utrinque ad cercos leviter sinuatum, inter illos transverse 

 arcuatum, in medio anguste incisum. — Mares ignoti. 



This is a very remarkable genus. In its general shape Capucina agrees with the 

 " Tribe Panchlorinae," approaching Zetobora; but it differs from that genus in its 

 wide flat body, and in having the pronotum and elytra covered with a velvety pile. 

 The elytra are imbricate like those of Zetobora, but they are broader, with the marginal 

 field very much dilated, as in the genus Schizopilia, Sauss. ; but neither the elytra nor 

 the wings are so obtuse as in that genus. The lateral lobes of the abdomen are also 

 more obtuse than in Zetobora ; and the supra-anal plate is more deeply notched in the 

 middle and less transversely quadrate in shape, it being more like that of Schizopilia. 

 The middle and hind tibiae are less spinose than in the preceding genera of the Tribe 

 Panchlorinae. Capucina is distinctly separated from Homceogamia by the posterior field 

 of the wings being much larger in proportion to the anterior field and folding in rest. 

 The supra-anal plate is not elongated as in Homceogamia ; the cerci are shorter ; the 

 legs are not long and slender, and not ciliated ; the tibiae are much less spinose ; and 

 the claws have a distinct arolium, which is wanting in Homceogamia.

2 . Brunneo-testacea. Antennae fuscae, ante apicem artieulis 4 aurantiis. Caput fuscum ; depressione frontis 

 fere elongato-hexagonali. Pronotum et elytra fulvo-brunnea, farinosa, dense velutina. Pronotum 

 insuper ubique minute granulosum ac punetulatum, postice ad elytra obsoletissime rotundato-costatum. 

 Elytra campo margiriali latissimo, dense obsolete venuloso, inter venas punctato. Campus diseoidalis 

 sinuato-venosus et dense reticulatus, basi punctatus ; campus posticus fere ut campus marginalis pune- 

 tatus ; elytri dextri pars obtecta ferruginea, nitida, reticulosa. Alse sub-vitrese, venis flavo-testaceis, 

 campo anteriore apice ferruginescente, margine costali flavido, ultra medium opaco. Abdominis margines 

 testacei. Cerci supra fusci, marginibus et apice flavidis. 

 Long. 29"5 ; pronot. 9-5, latit. pronot. 16-5, long, elytr. 26-5, latit. elytr. 13 millim.

Tribus PERISPH^ERINjE. 



Only three genera of this Tribe occur in America : — Parasphwria, Proscratea, and 

 Brachycola. No species is recorded from Mexico or Central America.
