Ibagiie, Tolima, 4000 feet, (from R. Shelford), 1 c^ , [A. N. S. P.]. 

 This specimen is in every way typical. The limb armament, 

 which has not been described, is as follows: Ventral margins of 

 femora without heavy spines; cephalic femora with ventro-ceph- 

 alic margin bearing distad a rather closely-set series of rather long 

 chaetiform spines, ventro-caudal margins of median and caudal 

 femora with a percurrent fringe of long hairs. Disto-dorsal gen- 

 icular spine of median and caudal femora very greatly reduced. 



Length of body, 25.8; pronotum, 9.8; exposed portion of teg- 

 men, 7.2. Width of pronotum, 13.7; tegmen, 9.3 mm. 



Hormetica apolinari new species (Plate XVIII, fig. 4; plate XIX, fig. 7.) 



The present insect represents a pale type of this distinctive 

 genus, the most striking features being the dark head with pale 

 occipital marking, pale pronotum and tegmina with conspicuous 

 black patches. 



The species belongs to the forms having the tegmina marked 

 with l^lack; of these interna, strumosa and vittata have a longi- 

 tudinal marking, apolinari and verrucosa a median roughly tri- 

 angular marking and advena a median marking which is very 

 much more excensive. 



Compared with its nearest ally, verrucosa Brunner, the present 

 insect appears to differ in the strikiag pale occipital marking, 

 pale borders of the pronotum, much more elongate tegmina and 

 wings and in the tegmina having, in addition to a mesal black 

 marking, a proximal black band, extending from the sutural 

 margin to the humeral trunk and there continued distad for a 

 distance nearly equalling its width. 



Type. — cf; Fusugasuga, Cundinamarca, Colombia. Eleva- 

 tion, 5464 feet. February, 1917. (From A. Maria.) [Hebard 

 Collection, Type No. 450.] 



Size medium for the genus, form elliptical. Head broad; front flattened, 

 polished, with scattered punctulae; interocular space very wide, but not as 

 wide as width between antennal sockets. Pronotum with cephalic margin 

 decidedly reflexed, sublamellate; cephalic and lateral margins evenly convex
