The description of antiguensis leaves no doubt that it belongs 

 to the present genus,^^ and the material from Antigua is described 

 as having the markings near the bases of the humeral and anal 

 veins of the tegmina, which constitute a feature readily distin- 

 guishing the present species from any other of the present com- 

 plex. The brief description of the Cuban female as a variety of 

 antiguensis, is too short and indefinite to reveal any diagnostic 

 features of value; the likelihood is that it represents an example 

 of C. pnnctulata. 



In general appearance the present insect suggests C. punctulata, 

 but upon closer examination it is seen to be very widely separated 

 from that species, differing in striking features of color pattern 

 of which the cephalic markings and proximal maculations of the 

 tegmina are distinctive from any other species of the genus, as 

 is also the form of the male subgenital plate and of the styles. 



The following features are as found in a pair from Montego 

 Bay, Jamaica, cf. Size small, form slender. Cross-veinlets 

 between discoidal sectors of tegmina numerous but inconspicuous. 

 Supra-anal plate similar to that of C. punctulatus. Subgenital
