angle well roiUKled, ventral margin suljtruncate, ventro-caudal angle 

 narrowly rounded, caudal margin straight; surface of lobes with an 

 oblique, poorly delimited, broad depression, its general trend ventro- 

 caudad. 



Tegmina moderately narrow, their greatest width contained about 

 two and one-half times in the greatest tegminal length; dorsal vena- 

 tion and areas strongly longitudinal in disposition (see figure 1); 

 lateral venation with the mediastine vein moderately bi-sinuate, 

 three short, free veins present, the second abbreviate. Wings 

 surpassing the tegmina by about one and a half times the combined 

 length of the head and pronotum. Cerei failing to reach the apices 

 of the closed wings by about one-third the length of the exposed 

 portion of the latter. Cephalic tibiae faintly fusiform: both faces. 

 with an elliptical foramen. Caudal limbs missing. 



General coloration dull colonial-buff, apparently quite greenish 

 in life. Eyes tawny, becoming russet ventro-cephalad. 



Length of body, 6 mm.; length of pronotum, 1; greatest caudal 

 width of pronotum 1.7; length of tegmen 5.3; greatest width of 

 dorsal field of tegmen, 1.9. 



The type is unique.

The reference of this material to olmecus is provisional, as we have 

 no Mexican individuals for comparison, and the Bonito representa- 

 tion is not in as good condition as could be desired. It shows, how- 

 ever, no differences worthy of mention from the original description 

 and figures, and for the present must be referred here. This is the 

 first South American record of the species.
