360 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Type. — Female. 



Length from anterior apex to tip of tegmina, female 5 mm., 

 male 4.2 mm.; width between humeral angles, female 2.2 mm., 

 male 1.8 mm. 



Locality. — Espirito Santo, Brazil. 



The male is somewhat darker, the veins of the tegmina much 

 darker and more prominent, the basal half of tegmina and the 

 under surface of the body deep ferruginous or black. 



3. Tropidoscyta maculata, sp. nov. (Fig. 3). 



Near T. minor Buckt., but differs in the sculpture of the 

 pronotum, in the markings, and in the venation of the tegmina. 

 May be recognized by the large white spot on the median dorsal 

 line and by the fact that only two discoidal cells are present in the 

 tegmina. This latter character would suggest the genus Leioscyta 

 of Fowler, but the position of these cells is quite different from the 

 forms figured by that author, and the high, rough, carinate pro- 

 notum at once prevents its admission to his genus. 



Deep chocolate brown, except anterior half of median dorsal 

 ridge, which is light yellow brown, spot behind this white hyaline, 

 and apex of posterior process almost black. Head twice as long as 

 wide, very dark brown, faintly punctured, densely pilose with long 

 yellow hairs; ocelli yellow w T hite, farther from each other than 

 from the eyes; eyes brown. Pronotum thickly punctate and spar- 

 ingly pilose; high percurrent median carina compressed into a 

 sharp thin keel in the middle; one high, sharp, lateral carina on 

 each side, beginning at extreme anterior apex and ending in about 

 the middle before reaching the lateral margin; posterior process 

 acute, extending just beyond internal angle of tegmina. Tegmma 

 black at basal third, becoming ferruginous in middle and smoky 

 hyaline at apical third; base finely punctate: veins somewhat 

 pubescent; two discoidal cells. Legs ferruginous; first and second 

 tibiae flattened; tarsi flavous. 



Type. — Female. 



Length, female 4 mm., male 3.7 mm.; width, female 1.8 mm., 

 male 1 5 mm. 



Locality. — Peru.
