 Type. — By selection, 11. gryps Saussure and Zehntner/' 



HARPAGONYX CARLOTTiE, new species. 



Type. — Male; San Carlos, Costa Rica. (Schild and Burgdorf.) 

 [Cat. No. 6953, U.S.N.M.] 



Closely allied to IT. dohrnianus Saussure and Zehntner '' from Guat- 

 emala, hut differing in the more globose e3^es, the truncate vertex 

 (except for the supraocular processes), and in the more acuminate 

 supra-anal plate. 



Size medium; form slender. Head slightly transverse; eyes rotund- 

 ovate when viewed lateralh^; vertex truncate, the juxtaocular lobes 

 triangular, low; ocelli triangularly disposed, the median one very 

 much exceeding the others in size; facial shield transverse, arcuate, 

 the superior margin with the median portion truncate; antennae 

 slightly exceeding the pronotum in length, pilose. Pronotum slender, 

 evenly tuberculate; collar gradually expanding into the supracoxal 

 lobes which are not strongly marked; shaft subequal, a faint median 

 carina present throughout the whole length; entire margins, except 

 the narrow anterior and posterior ones, denticulate. Tegmina shorter 

 than the wings when in repose; rather broad, subequal in width, apex 

 rounded; costal margin closely hirsute through the entire length, 

 sutural margin with shorter hairs; costal field moderately expanded 

 in the basal half, entirely filled by large, irregular cells, the whole teg- 

 mina having the secondary nervures irregularly forked, the resulting 

 cells being very unsjmimetrical. Wings broad, almost subequal in 

 width, apex with the costal margin curved backward and the posterior 

 section obliquely truncate; all margins finely haired; anterior ulnar 

 vein forked in the apical third. Abdomen slender, bacilliform. Supra- 



«As the original description did not mention any of the included species, they 

 must be taken from the next work, which is the Biologia. Of the three there men- 

 tioned {gryps, dohrnianus, and maija), gryps is the only one figured and it may be 

 selected as the type.
