about on a line drawn through centers of eyes ; inferior margins of genae 

 sinuate; clypeus longer than wide, continuing outline of genae, tip rounded 

 and pubescent. 



Pronotum strongly compressed laterally, highest above humeral angles, 

 anterior margin projecting over the head, posterior margin sloping; uniformly 

 green, finely punctate, sparingly pubescent on metopidium, polished, shining; 

 metopidium higher than wide, dorsal crest leaning forward ; median carina 

 strongly percurrent, narrowly black ; humeral angles large, prominent, triangu- 

 lar, blunt; posterior process gradually acute, tectiform, just reaching tips of 

 tegmina. 



Tegmina nearly one half exposed, yellowish-hyaline, veins prominent, base 

 and basal costal margin narrowly coriaceous and punctate. 



Legs and under surface of body uniformly flavous. Tibiae sparingly pubes- 

 cent. 



Length from front of head to tips of tegmina 6.8 mm. ; from anterior 

 point of pronotal crest to apex of posterior process -j.z mm. ; width between 

 humeral angles 3.5 mm. 



Type : female. 



Locality : Peru. Exact locality, date of collecting and collector unknown. 



Described from a pair, the male of which is slightly the smaller. 



Near the preceding but larger and with the anterior pronotum pro- 

 jecting over the head. Median dorsal black line very thin and with no 

 ferruginous area beneath it. Posterior margin of pronotum sloping. 

 Uniformly green, polished, closely punctate, sparingly pubescent on 

 metopidium. Legs and under surface of body flavous. 



Amastris sabulosa new species. (PI. in, fig. 5.) 



Head subtriangular, very rough, entirely yellow, punctate, sparingly pubes- 

 cent ; basal margin strongly sinuate ; eyes large, prominent, bright red ; ocelli 

 small but very conspicuous, bright red, elevated, equidistant from each other 

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

 margins of genae strongly sinuate ; clypeus about as long as broad, widest in 

 center, extending for about half its length below inferior margins of genae, 

 tip blunt and pubescent. 



Pronotum not greatly compressed laterally except at dorsal margin ; 

 flavous with irregular markings of ferruginous ; roughly sculptured, granular, 

 not shining, densely punctate, sparingly pubescent ; dorsal line subarcuate, 

 slightly depressed above line of humeral angles ; median carina strongly per- 

 current ; metopidium wider than high, an irregular reddish band extending 

 upward above the eye on each side ; humeral angles weak, blunt ; posterior 

 process tectiform, blunt, extending well beyond apex of abdomen but not reach- 

 ing tips of tegmina.
