ANHANG. 

 Flatidenarten, 



welche auf Grund der Typen eine genauere Untersuchung erfordern. 



I. Flata cornipta Fowler. 



Fowler, Biol. Centn Amer. Hom., p. 53, 6, Tab. VII, Fig. 14 (1900). 



Capite testaceo, parvo, pronoto angustiori, hoc virescenti; capite longiori; scutello 

 testaceo, fere usque longo ac lato; tegminibus sat angustis, virescentibus, limbo lato 

 irregulär! brunneo-testaceo circumcinctis, apicem versus sensini dilatatis; corpore subtus 

 cum pedibus testaceis, plus minusve virescentibus. 



A rather long insect in proportion to its width; head testaceous, small, narrower 

 than the pronotum, which is greenish; scutellura testaceous, about as long as broad; 

 tegmina rather narrow, green, with a broad irregulär border running round the whole 

 margin; this is broader in some parts than in others, and at the middle of the internal 

 margin is dilated into a triangulär patch, the apex of which nearly reaches the middle 

 of the tegmen, where it encloses a small smoth lighter-coloured spot; the transverse 

 venation on the costal and apical margins is distinct, and the reticulation on the disc is 

 piain, but not strongly raised; body and legs more or less green. 



Long. 9^/2 mm. 



Centralamerika, Guatemala (Fowler). 



2. Poeciloptera instans Walk. 



Walker, List of Hom., Suppl., p. 119 (1858). 



Testacea; arista longa; prothorax brevis; mesothorax tricarinatus; alae vitreae; 

 anticae apud costam convexae, apice et angulo interiore rotundatis, venis plurimis 

 pallide viridibus, venulis transversis nigris paucis; posticae venis paucis. 



Testaceous. Vertex about twice broader than long, slightly concave in the disk; 

 front very much longer than broad, with a keel and with elevated borders. Arista long. 

 Prothorax short. Mesothorax with three keels. Wings vitreous. Fore wings convex 

 along the costa; tip and interior angle much rounded; veins pale green, numerous; 

 transverse veinlets black, irregulär, not numerous. Hind wings with few veins. 



Length of the body 2^2 lines, of the wings 6 lines. 



Santarem. 



Scheint überhaupt keine Flatide zu sein. Walker selbst bemerkt: »This species 

 recedes very much from the typical form oi Poeciloptera. <s. 



3. Poeciloptera constellaris Walk. 



Walker, List of Hom., Suppl., p. 335 (1S58). 



Fuscescens, subtus fulva; vertex minimus, frons longissima, carinata, faciem versus 

 lutescens; prothorax arcuatus, verticem ex parte tegens; mesothorax tricarinatus; alae
