dish when dried. The specimens before me are cabinet specimens 

 of some age and are probably much brighter and greener in life. 



Stictocephala nigriventris new species. 



Greenish yellow mottled with brown, coarsely punctate, sparingly pilose ; 

 abdomen densely black; suprahumeral angles very prominent suggesting unde- 

 veloped horns; lateral angles of metopidium indefinite; tegmina hyaline, veins 

 yellowish ; legs yellow, outer surfaces of trochanters and femora marked with 

 black ; general aspect of a Centrogonia but without horns. 



Head broader than long, with perpendicular brown fascia, roughly sculp- 

 tured, not punctate, not pubescent ; base of head sinuate, highest in middle ; eyes 

 prominent, dark brown, extending laterad from the head almost as far as the 

 humeral angles ; ocelli small, yellowish, placed on elevations, slightly nearer to 

 each other than to the eyes and situated about on a line drawn through centers 

 of eyes ; clypeus much longer than wide, produced for nearly two thirds its 

 length below margins of gena?, convex, impuctate, pilose, tip black ; margins 

 of gense strongly sinuate. 



Prothorax greenish-yellow, irregularly mottled with light brown and fer- 

 ruginous, deeply and evenly punctate, sparingly pilose with long stiff black 

 hairs particularly in anterior region ; humeral angles prominent, auriculate ; 

 above the humeral angles are strong rounded elevations which are not, how- 

 ever, produced as horns ; metopidium sloping, somewhat convex, lateral angles 

 not distinct ; dorsum straight, median carina percurrent, lateral semicircular 

 impression weak ; posterior process gradually acute, tip minutely black, extend- 

 ing almost to tip of abdomen. 



Tegmina hyaline, base slightly opaque, coriaceous and punctured, veins 

 yellowish. 



Thorax concolorous yellow ; abdomen entirely black ; legs yellow with 

 outer surfaces of trochanters and femora black ; claws black. 



Length including tegmina, 5.5 mm. ; width between humeral angles, 2.2 mm. 



Type: female. Locality: Ecuador. Collector: Parish (Aug., 1914). 



This species must be placed in the genus Stictocephala although 

 in general appearance it strongly resembles a Centrogonia. It shows 

 neither the suprahumeral horns typical of the Centrogonia nor the 

 lateral angles of the metopidium characteristic of Stictocephala. I 

 have this species also from Cali, Colombia, collected by Mr. Parish 

 on May 29, 19 14. 



Stictolobus erectus new species. 



Uniform light yellow, evenly and coarsely punctate, sparingly pilose with 

 stiff black hairs ; pronotum somewhat compressed, elevated ; metopidium con- 

 vex, a little higher than wide, entirely without lateral angles between humerals
