11. Orocharis mexicanus, sp. n. 



Statura minuta 0. ocellaris et illi simillimus. Differt ab illo : ocellis minutis, invicem remotis, nullomodo 

 callosis ; palporum articulo ultimo apice minus dilatato, infundibuliformi, supra minus sinuato. Marium 

 elytra illis speciei laudato simillima ; vena stridulante sinuata, valde biundata ; venis transversis valde 

 obliquis ; differt tamen speculo antice paulo acutiore, subacutangulo ; area apicali longiore. Alae breviter 

 caudatse. Tibise anticse utrinque tympano elliptico instructae ; externo angustiore.

The female of this small species closely resembles 0. gryllodes ; but it is still smaller, 

 and its ocelli form an arcuated line, the anterior ocellus being placed a little less 

 forwards than in 0. gryllodes. The male is very different from that of 0. gryllodes, 

 the venulation of the elytra belonging to the type of 0. ocellaris, 0. gaumeri, &c.
