margin of subgenital plate, minute, subcylindrical, feebly tapering to the 

 bluntly rounded apex, each in length about two-fifths the distance between their 

 bases. Armament of hmbs as characteristic for the genera Lobocneme and 

 Parastagmatoplera. Limbs slender, (but not as elongate as in males of the 

 species of Paraalagmatoptera examined). Median femora missing. Caudal 

 femora with a slight, but distinct, rounded lobe immediately proximad of the 

 genicular area on the ventro-caudal margin. 



Length of body, 33.5; pronotum, 11.3; tegmen, 22.3; wing, 20.6; cephalic coxa, 

 7.2; cephalic femur, 8; caudal femur, 8.4; caudal tibia, 8 mm. Width of head, 

 5.4; pronotum at .supra-coxal dilation, 2.4; tegmen at widest point, 5.8; teg- 

 men in distal third, 4.9; marginal field of tegmen, 1.7 mm. Depth of head, 2.85 

 mm. 



Head vinaceous-russet tinged with green caudad, except facial scutellum 

 which is light buff. Eyes saccardos umber. Antennae orange cinnamon. 

 Ocelli clear cadmium yellow. Green portions of insect evidently somewhat 

 faded, probably all light oriental green in life. Pronotum green. Tegmina largely 

 colorless hyaline, with veins very weakly green ; marginal field opaque green, 

 in this dried specimen showing a reddish discoloration in distal two-thirds, as 

 do the apices of the wings; stigma buffy, glossy, linear (length, 1.8 mm.). 

 Wings colorless hyaline, showing a weak iridescence, with veins very weakly 

 green; costal margin opaque green. Abdomen yellowish brown, shading to 

 green on the subgenital plate. Limbs green. Cephalic coxae with a longitu- 

 dinal suffusion of blackish brown ventrad on the internal face, immediately 

 l)efore the genicular area. Cephalic femora with inner face mustard yellow 

 shading to green dorsad, with minute brown dots at bases of alternate spines.®* 



The type is unique.

Cauca, (F. Bonis), 1 9 , [A. N. S. P.]. 



The Cauca specimen is nearly as large as the tj'po, the Santa 



Marta indivichuil considerably smaller. These specimens agree 



in all important features with Central American material of the 



species at hand.

"* This insect appears to agree closely in the coloration of the cephalic limbs 

 with Paroxyopsis icterica (Saussure and Zehntner), described from a female. 

 'I'hat genus, from the female sex, appears to differ from Lobocneme in the dif- 

 ferently shaped eyes, much narrower nuirgiiial field of the tegmina and trans- 

 verse stigma.
