The specimens taken away from their native habitat were 

 almost certainly from the east coast of Central America, those 

 from the S. S. Tenadores were taken on at either Bocas del 

 Toro, Panama, or Limon, Costa Rica. The measurements 

 would indicate that the species on the Isla de Cocos averages 

 somewhat smaller than material from the mainland. 



Coloration: General color warm buff*, lateral margins of 

 pronotum and all of the tegmina clear translucent warm buff ; 

 disk of pronotum antimony yellow, with a few slightly darker 

 (buckthorn brown) markings and very few much darker 

 (mummy brown) minute dots. Wings hyaline with a very 

 slight iridescence, veins and distal cross-veinlets translucent 

 very pale brown. Head warm buff with a very slightly darker 

 diffused broad brown band ventrad between the eyes, a similar 

 but much narrower band between the ocellar spots and on the 

 face traces of two interrupted very narrow bands of the same 

 shade. Abdomen buckthorn brown, ventrad with a large dif- 

 fused dark brown marking proximad and with a dark brown 

 dot laterad on each segment. Antennae and limbs warm buff. 



Specimens Examined: 15; 7 males, 8 females.

 colors slightly paler than in the typical series.
