MORGAN HEBARD I9 



Type.^ 9 ; Porto Bello, Panama. August 18 to 21, 1916. 

 (D. E. Harrower.) [Hebard Collection, Type no. 428.] 



Size small, form somewhat broader than in asema. Head appreciably longer 

 than broad, these proportions not as contrasting as in asema, interocellar area 

 forming, with margins of ocellar areas, a distinct ridge above each antennal socket, 

 this ridge not projecting as much as in asema; ocellar spots distinct. Pronotum 

 trapezoid-oval, narrowing distinctly more cephalad than caudad; surface weakly 

 convex, showing shallow but distinct latero-caudal transverse sulci of disk. Teg- 

 mina narrow, costal margin weakly convex to the narrowly rounded apex; costal 

 veins numerous (twelve) and faintly enlarged distad; discoidal sectors few (four). 

 Wings proportionately not as broad as in asema, much as in yl. azteca, venation 

 much as in those species; costal veins (nine) heavily clubbed distad; medio-dis- 

 coidal area as described for asema; appendicular field in length about half that of 

 remaining portion of wing, length slightly greater than width. Supra-anal 

 and subgenital plates and armament of limbs as typical for genus, described under 

 asema. 



General coloration shining blackish brown. Head uniform, deep ochraceous- 

 tawny; eyes blackish brown. Antennae ochraceous-buff proximad, deepening 

 immediately to blackish brown. Lateral margins of pronotum and marginal field 

 of tegmina transparent, tinged with prout's brown; remaining portions of tegmina 

 translucent, deep, rich prout's brown. Abdomen blackish brown; limbs of same 

 coloration shading to buckthorn brown distad. Cerci buckthorn brown. 



Length of body, 5.4; length of pronotum, 1.4; width of pronotum, 2; length of 

 tegmen, 5.1; width of tegmen, 1.8 mm. 



In addition to the type, a single paratypic example is at hand. 



Cabima, Panama, V, 22, 1911, (Busck), i 9. 



This specimen differs in having the head shining blackish brown 

 except for a transverse rectangular area between the ocellar spots 

 which is ochraceous-tawny, while the antennae, cerci and distal 

 portions of the limbs are paler, ochraceous-buff. 



Length of body, 5.7; length of pronotum, 1.4; width of prono- 

 tum, 1.9; length of tegmen, 5.2; width of tegmen, 2 mm. 



Anaplecta gemma new species (Plate H, figure 7.) 



This beautiful insect is a member of the Bivittata Group^^ 

 of the species of which it has the characteristic dark markings 

 least extensive. It differs from A. bivittata Brunncr, "^ in the very 

 weakly suggested dark markings of the pronotum, the distinctly 

 less extensive dark marking of the tegmina and in the greater size. 



'^ We have commented upon this group under A. hemiscolia on page 20. 

 '^ A single male of that species, recently recorded by Rehn, from Igarape-Assu, Brazil, 

 is in the Academy collection.
