12. Tragopa decorata sp. nov. (Figs. 12 and 13). 



About the size of the preceding. Apparently near T. fulvo- 

 varia Fairm., in its decorations; but smaller, not black, and with- 

 out the large posterior spot of Fairmair«e's species. The head 

 shows no markings. 



Decidedly longer than wide; beautiful rich chocolate brown 

 shading to light brown on shoulders and head; decorated with 

 numerous irregular yellow dots and bars bordered with dark brown. 

 Head slightly wider thafi long; uniform light brown; front convex; 

 ocelli yellow, farther from each other than from the eyes; eyes 

 black bordered with yellow. Pronotum chocolate brown, shining, 

 very finely and faintly punctured; humeral angles rounding; apex 

 obtuse; a crescent-shaped row of yellow dots connecting the humeral 

 angles, these dots joined together near shoulders to make a short 

 stripe; behind this row a transverse area filled with very small 

 dots which in the same manner join to form a stripe at the mar- 

 gin; apex concolorous yellow-brown. These dots and fascia are 

 bordered by bands of dark brown and are not symmetrically 

 arranged bilaterally. Tegmina very dark brown, opaque, more 

 than half covered by the pronotum, border wide and wrinkled. 

 Legs and undersurface of body yellow. Tarsi and tips of tib ise 

 fuscous-brown. 



Type. — Female. 



Length 3.6 mm.; width 2.4 mm. 



Locality. — Bolivia. 



The fore-wings of the genus Tragopa are most peculiar and 

 are entirely different from the wings of other Membracidae. The 

 wing of T. decorata figured is a good example of this interesting 

 wing structure and is remarkable not only for the venation bul 

 also for the broad, corrugated limbus.
