248 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



I. kerasphoro?i, nom. nov. 

 = Reduviolus rubritincttis, Kirkaldy nee Blackburn. The latter 

 has the incrassate antennae, but as the head spines are not mentioned it 

 cannot yet be included in Milu. M. kerasphoron is very much like R. 

 sharpiafuis, Kirkaldy, in pattern.

NOTES ON CENTRAL AMERICAN HEMIPTEROUS FAUNA. 



BY G. W. KIRKALDY, HONOLULU, tLWVAIIAN ISLANDS. 



While preparing his account of the Homoptera of Central America 

 (Biologia Centrali Americana, Rh. Hom. II), Mr. Distant must have 

 neglected to refer to the third part of Stal's "Analecta hemipterologica" 

 (1869, Berlin Ent. Zeit., XIII, 225-42), as he has omitted mention offour 

 species therein described ; these are as follows : 



Aphrodisias ( = |1 Compsoptera) cacica, Stal ; Acmonia anceps, Stal ; 

 Cy?poptiis iiubeailosus, Stal, and C. ferruginosus, Stal, all from Mexico. 



In the Annals and Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), XVIII, 193 (1906), Mr. 

 Distant twice quotes his genus '■'■ Aviilavaca" (as a syn. of Echetra); this 

 was, however, originally written Amalivaca. 



In the same volume of the "Biologia" Dr. Fowler has redescribed 

 Scolops, Germ., under the name of Orniihissus, incorrectly placing it in 

 the IssidcC. 6". Coc/:ere//i seems to be a good species (p. 122). 



I have not seen specimens, but the descriptions and figures, as well 

 as comparison with Misthartiophantia, ' Kirkaldy, lead me to believe 

 that Hypancylus, Fowler (p. 114), is a Poekillopterine, not an Issine. 



Of the two Fulgoroids considered uncertain by Dr. Fowler, Rhotala 

 is an Achiline, while Syntatnes is a Derbid, his delicatiis, var. chiriquensis 

 (p. 139), being a good species. 



In the Cicadidae, Mr. Distant's new name of Germari (p. 140) for 

 Proarna \^grisea (Germar) is unnecessary, ns on his own showing there 

 are other names available.. The insect should probably be known as 



July, 1907
