ulate, shining, weakly punctate, not pubescent ; basal margin sinuate ; eyes 

 large, prominent, brown ; ocelli small, amber-colored, conspicuous, equi- 

 distant from each other and from the eyes and situated about on a line drawn 

 through centers of eyes; inferior margins of genae sinuate; clypeus longer 

 than wide, broadest near tip, continuing in outline the line of the margins of 

 the gense, tip blunt, swollen, densely pubescent. 



Pronotum much compressed laterally, highest just behind line of humeral 

 angles, light green irregularly mottled with flavous, finely and closely punc- 

 tate, not pubescent, more or less polished ; metopidium much higher than wide, 

 nearly vertical ; median carina black, strongly and sharply percurrent ; just 

 below median carina a narrow area of ferruginous ; humeral angles prominent, 

 subtriangular, blunt ; posterior process tectiform, acute, just reaching tips of 

 tegmina. 



Tegmina about one third exposed, yellowish-hyaline, without markings, 

 base and basal costal area narrowly coriaceous and punctate, tips rounded, 

 veins distinct and yellowish. 



Under surface of body entirely flavous. Legs and feet flavous and weakly 

 pubescent. 



Length 6 mm.; width between humeral angles 3.2 mm.; height of pronotum 

 above humeral angles 3 mm. 



Type : female. 



Locality: Napo River, Peru. June 1920 (Parish). 



Described from one female and one male from type locality, one 

 female from Teffe, Brazil, Feb. i. 1920, and three females and one 

 male from Iquitos, Peru, May 6-18, 1920. All collected by Parish. 



Near A. ohtcgcns Fabr., but larger and with the pronotum much 

 more elevated in front. Light green fading to yellowish in cabinet 

 specimens, margin of pronotum narrowly black with irregular fer- 

 ruginous area below margin. Tegmina yellowish-hyaline, about one 

 third exposed. Posterior process just reaching apices of tegmina. 

 Legs and under surface of body flavous. 



The males are slightly smaller than the females. In some of the 

 specimens from Iquitos the black median line is almost obsolete and 

 the insects bear a strong superficial resemblance to A. ohtegcns Fabr. 

 A long series of the latter species, however, collected by Mr. Parish at 

 Flores, Brazil, in 1919 shows very distinct specific differences. 



Amastris projecta new species. 



Head subtriangular, smooth, polished, green, not sculptured, not punctate, 

 not pubescent ; basal margin strongly sinuate ; eyes large, prominent, yellow 

 mottled with brown ; ocelli small but conspicuous, yellow with brown centers,, 

 slightly elevated, equidistant from each other and from the eyes and situated
