Hah. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 



In their slender form and long legs this and the following species have somewhat the 

 fades of Leptotettix, but their other characters do not accord with those of that genus. 

 Though we have placed them in the synopsis near C. meroncidioides and C. pollonerce, 

 they are very different in appearance ; moreover, in C. meroncidioides the ovipositor is 

 nearly as long as the hind femora, and the infra-genital plate (?) has a round notch, 

 and in C. pollonerce the ovipositor is stout. 



4. Cocconotus sagittatus, sp. n. (Tab. XX. fig. 29.) 



C. fraterno simillimus ; differfc ab illo : pronoto sparse minute granulato, tota longitudine vitta lanceolata 

 alba, antice lineari, postice ad latitudinem metazonae dilatata, ornato. Elytra corporis colore. Abdomen 

 sicut in 0. fraterno nigro-ornatum. 



J . Long. corp. 25*5 ; pronot. 6 ; elytr. 33 ; femor. post. 21 millim.
