and median carina; pronotum resembling that of an Atymna; tegmina with the 

 venation of a Stictocephala ; thorax, undersurface of body and abdomen im- 

 maculate light yellow ; legs pale yellow with distal ends of tibia? and the claws 

 brown. 



Head broader than long, lemon yellow, roughly sculptured, not punctate, 

 not pubescent except on clypeus ; base of head weakly sinuate, highest in 

 middle; eyes prominent, pale yellow with perpendicular fasciae of brown; ocelli 

 very prominent, yellowish, bordered with brown, nearer to each other than to 

 the eyes and situated about on a line drawn through centers of eyes ; margins 

 of genas sinuate ; clypeus longer than wide, extending for more than half its 

 length below inferior margins of gense, concolorous pale yellow, impunctate, 

 pilose with long white hairs, tip slightly swollen. 



Pronotum yellow, evenly punctate, sparingly pilose, somewhat compressed 

 laterally ; dorsum subarcuate, highest above humeral angles, almost straight 

 from highest point to base of posterior process ; metopidium lightly canvex, 

 higher than wide, a smooth ovate area above inner margin of each eye ; median 

 carina distinctly percurrent ; semicircular impression well marked ; posterior 

 process short, slender, acuminate, extending just beyond apex of abdomen, 

 slightly deflexed, tip minutely black. 



Tegmina hyaline, base very slightly coriaceous and punctate; venation 

 agreeing in all respects with that of species of the genus Stictocephala ; veins 

 prominent, yellowish, irregularly tinted with brown ; tegmina and hind wings 

 both showing a strongly stylate and petiolate apical cell. 



Thorax and abdomen uniformly lemon yellow ; legs yellow ; tibiae hairy and 

 spined ; distal ends of tibiae bordered with brown ; claws entirely brown. 



Length, 7 mm. ; width between humeral angles, 2.7 mm. ; height of crest 

 from tip of clypeus, 3.5 mm. 



Type: male. Locality: Para, Brazil. 



Described from two males and two females, all from the same 

 locality. The sexes agree in size and color. I suspect that the 

 genus Stictolobus, erected by Metcalf for the accommodation of subu- 

 latus Say, will eventually receive several species which have been 

 described in the genus Stictocephala. 



Atymna pilosa new species. 



Pale greenish yellow without markings, evenly and finely punctate, densely 

 pilose ; pronotum somewhat compressed laterally ; dorsum subarcuate, highest 

 before humeral angles ; tegmina hyaline, basal half of costal area strongly 

 punctate ; thorax, legs and undersurface of body uniform greenish-yellow. 



Head wider than long, very convex in center, lemon yellow with a slight 

 tinge of brown around each ocellus, finely punctate, sparingly pubescent ; base 

 of head sinuate, depressed at lateral margins, highest over ocelli, depressed in 

 middle; eyes large, prominent, brown, bordered with yellow; ocelli very small,
