C. uruguayensis Berg, Add. et Emend. Hemip. Argent, p. 148.

Very similar to ustulata Fairm., from which it may be sep- 

 arated by the more slender horns above the humeral angles, 

 the greenish coloring and the fuscous spot on the apex of the 

 tegmina. It lives on Acacia farnesiana Willd. and has been 

 taken at Canelones and on the Corralito River in Uruguay. 

 Three examples are in the Uruguayan National collection.

1846. Fairm. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. Ser. 2, IV, p. 241. 

 A. variabilis Berg, Hemip. Argent, p. 244. 1879. 



This species, not represented in the Uruguayan National 

 collection, closely resembles plagiata Fairm. It differs from 

 that species in its larger size, apex of posterior process not 

 black, and absence of the reddish markings on the prothorax. 

 It differs from anticonigra Fairm. in the very faint lateral pro- 

 thoracic impression, in the venation of the tegmina, and in 

 the fuscous spot on the head.
