Specimens of what are apparently this species coming from Northern Colombia have 

 been examined by the present writer. They are contained in the collections of the 

 Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh. The collector was H. H. Smith, 



[6. PhaBoparia immaculata, sp. n. 



Most nearly related to P. annulicornis, Stal, in size and general appearance, but differing from that insect in 

 a number of points, as will be seen by an examination of the following description : — 



Head rather large, a little wider than the front edge of the pronotum, the occiput elongate and somewhat 

 ascending ; eyes not unusually prominent, nearly twice as long as their extreme width ; the vertex 

 depressed, about as long as wide, moderately deeply sulcate ; frontal costa sulcate throughout, a little 

 wider above than below the ocellus, the upper portion most prominent. Face viewed laterally nearly 

 straight, about as long below as above the base of the clypeus. Antennae rather heavy, elongate, 

 reaching nearly or quite to the base of the hind femora, the joints more or less depressed, in nowise 

 ensiform or subensiform. Pronotum somewhat contracted laterally a little in advance of the middle, the 

 anterior edge faintly but broadly emarginate, the hind margin obtusangulate, the surface on the disc 

 closely but shallowly punctate, on the sides more coarsely so. General colour dark ferrugineo-brunneous, 

 sides of head and pronotum fusco-piceous. Tegmina a little shorter than the abdomen, immaculate, but 

 with the dorsal field pale flavo-testaceous, as is also the disc of the pronotum and the occiput for an 

 equal width. The face is likewise of this same pale colour, but the labrum in the centre is piceous ; 

 maxillary palpi pale, the apical joint somewhat depressed. Antennas at base testaceous, the rest black, 

 with the exception of two paler annuli beyond the middle. Hind femora extending one-third of their 

 length beyond the tip of the abdomen, rather slender, dark brown, almost black, with some patches of 

 dark ferruginous externally and ruddy internally near the base ; hind tibia* strongly infuscated, 8-spined 

 on outer carina. Lower surface of body and apical portion of abdomen above pale rufo-castaneous. 

 Supra-anal plate elongate-triangular in general form, with the apex rounded, the lateral edges interrupted 

 and sinuose at their middle and beyond, the disc provided with a median raised oblong process and two 

 lateral wart-like tubercles, the latter situated just opposite the interruption in the two lateral margins. 

 Anal cerci elongate, slender, directed backwards and roundly curved inwards on apical half, provided 

 with a slight tooth-like process inwardly near the apex. 

 Length of body, c? , 21 ; of antennas 12, of pronotum 4-15, of tegmina 13, of hind femora 15 millim.
