margins of genae sinuate; clypeus longer than wide, extending below inferior 

 margins of genae. 



Pronotum broadly convex, sloping in front, highest over the base of the 

 posterior process at about the posterior third of the body length, very dark 

 brown, highly polished, shining, very faintly and finely punctured, not pubes- 

 cent; metopidiura twice as broad as high, sloping; median carina obsolete; 

 humeral angles broad, blunt, not prominent; posterior process broad, blunt, 

 tip rounded ; lateral margins almost straight but slightly hollowed out be- 

 hind the humeral angles. Marginal ridge of base of head, eyes and bases of 

 tegmina visible from a strictly dorsal view. 



Tegmina about one third exposed ; basal three fourths dark brown, shin- 

 ing; apical fourth black; veins indistinct; tips entirely concealed. 



Under surface of body brown ; legs and feet ferruginous ; hind tibiae 

 somewlfet darker. 



Length 5 mm. ; width between humeral angles 3' mm. 



Type : female. 



Locality : Callanga, Peru. 



Long, narrow, slender-bodied, very dark brown without markings, 

 very highly pohshed and shining; head produced forward at base; 

 pronotum highest at posterior third; tegmina about one third exposed,

 ruginous. 



Tragopa brunneimaculata new species. (PI. II, fig. 6.) 



Head as long as broad, shining yellow, very faintly punctate, not at all 

 pubescent ; basal margin slightly rounded ; eyes small, brown bordered with 

 sordid yellow, not prominent; ocelli very small, inconspicuous, yellow, twice 

 as far from each other as from the eyes and situated somewhat above a line

 gense, tip rounded. 



Pronotum arcuate, highest in middle, very finely punctate, not pubescent, 

 shining yellow except for a large brown triangular patch on each side behind the 

 shoulders, the base of the triangle touching the lateral margin of the pronotum 

 and the apex not quite reaching the median line, and a brown band extend- 

 ing entirely across the pronotum just behind these brown areas ; metopidium 

 sloping, broader than high, a small smooth brown semicircular area above each 

 eye ; median carina faintly percurrent ; humeral angles blunt, rounded ; lateral 

 margins slightly hollowed out behind humeral angles to expose bases of teg- 

 mina from a dorsal view ; head not at all and eyes only slightly visible from 

 a strictly dorsal view ; posterior process heavy, angular, tip truncate, de- 

 pressed downward to cover tips of tegmina. 



Tegmina yellow, opaque, about one third exposed ; veins indistinct ; tips
