According to Pictet and Saussure this genus occurs sufficiently close to the Isthmus 

 of Panama to permit of its being included, at least provisionally, in the Central- 

 American fauna. Only a single species is known.

Cibotopteryx is an interesting Tropical-American genus related to Elceochlora, and in 

 which the male and female individuals differ greatly in size. But a single species is 

 known and is referred to below. 



1. Cibotopteryx variegata, Rehn. (Elceochlora juvenalis, Tab. II. figg. 23, $ ; 

 24, 24 a, 6 .) 



Cibotopteryx variegata, Rehn, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad. 1905, pp. 408-410, figg. 8, 9 V 

 ElcEochlora juvenalis, Bruner, MSS. 



Ilab. Costa Rica, Guaitil x ; Central America (Eev. T. Heyde, in coll. L. Bruner : 

 6 $). 



The specimens (two males and five females) in the collection of the present writer 

 are marked simply " Central America." They may have been taken in Costa Rica or 

 Nicaragua, since the Rev. Mr. Heyde travelled in various parts of Central America and 

 collected wherever he went. Since only the male has been described, the accompanying 

 short diagnosis of the female is added : — 



2 . Extremely robust, the extreme width being nearly one-half as great as the length. Tegmina abbreviated, 

 shorter than the abdomen and provided with three prominent longitudinal veins, as shown in fig. 23 of 

 the Plate ; wings minute. * Pronotum large, broad, furnished upon the disk with a number of prominent, 

 round, polished tubercles; the lateral carinas conspicuous, composed of a series of rounded teeth or 

 tubercles which are largest on the anterior lobe ; the median carina very broad and strongly elevated, 

 the anterior portion strongly trilobed, the distinct lobes widely separated, the posterior portion a little 

 less elevated, straight. Hind femora longer than the abdomen, only moderately heavy ; hind tibiae as 

 long as the femora, coarse and provided with conspicuously elongated spines on the inner margin, those 

 on the outer margin of ordinary size. 



The colour of the female in general is similar to that of the male, but duller and less contrasted. The carinas 

 of the pronotum lack the black, and the hind tibiae are sometimes dull brownish-olive with only a tinge 

 of red, while in other specimens they are dull wine-red. 



Length of body 42, of antennas 20, of pronotum 20; greatest width of pronotum 14 • length of tegmina 18, 

 width 11 ; length of hind femora 23-5 millim.
