Dec, T9I4-] Funkhouser: Membracid^ from the Andes. 279 



Habitat.- — Almaguer. 



One specimen which I determine as Eiiretea personata. This 

 specimen agrees with Stal's description and the species is excellently 

 figured by Fowler. It is evidently rare. 



5. Ennya bicristata Stal. (PI. 2, figs, i and 2.) 



1869. Ennya bicristata Stal, Bid. Memb. Kan., 238, 3. 



Habitat. — Almaguer. 



I have been unable to find any record of this species in literature 

 since Stal's original description. It is a remarkable and beautiful 

 insect. 



6. Heranice miltoglypta Fairm. (PI. 2, figs. 3 and 4.) 



1846. Thclia >niltoglypta Fairm., Rev. Memb., 306, 2, pi. 5, figs. 4, 12.

1903. Heranice (?) multoglypta Buckt., Mon. Memb., 218, 5. 



Habitat. — Almaguer. 



A series of thirteen specimens of this remarkable membracid. The 

 species is easily recognized by its strongly keeled pronotum and gen- 

 eral boatlike aspect. Mr. Lloyd reports that this species was very 

 abundant along the trail through the forest of Almaguer and he was 

 very fortunate in securing an excellent negative showing adults, 

 nymphs and eggs all on one plant (pi. i, fig. 2). This plant is de- 

 scribed as being a low thorny bush with large leaves and spiny 

 branches but it was unfortunately not determined in the course of the 

 expedition. According to the field notes it was found commonly and 

 averaged from two to three feet in height. 



7. Thrasymedes pallescens Stal. (PI. 2, figs. 5 and 6.) 



1869. Phacusa pallescens Stal, Bid. Memb. Kan., 247, i. 

 1S94. Coding, Cat. Memb. N. A., 410, 49. 



1895. Fowler, Biol. Cent. Amer., iii, 2. 



1903. Buckton, Mon. Memb., 175. 



Habitat. — Valle de Papas, Caqueta, Colombia. 



This species evidently has a wide range since the type locality is 

 Mexico. It is seldom to be found, however, in collections. I have 

 adopted Kirkaldy's proposed name for the preoccupied genus Phacusa 

 of Stal.
