Subfamily Hoplophorinae. 

 Umbonia lutea new species. 



Head small, roughly sculptured, convex, irregularly punctate, sparingly 

 pubescent, yellow with an irregular black fascia across base, another trans- 

 verse black fascia connecting the ocelli and another at base of clypeus ; basal 

 line sinuate ; eyes large, prominent, bright yellow ; ocelli small, yellow, not 

 conspicuous, elevated on a slight transverse ridge, nearer to each other than 

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

 margins of gense flattened, projecting and curved; clypeus longer than wide, 

 swollen at tip, longitudinally ridged in center, extending for more than half 

 its length below inferior margins of gense, very pilose, tip rounded. 



Pronotum concolorous yellow, very coarsely and regularly punctate, 

 sparingly pubescent; produced in median dorsal spine which is nearly straight, 

 slender, quadricarinate, much inclined backwards, very sharp, apical two 

 thirds black; humeral angles prominent, triangular, edged with black; meto- 

 pidium broadly convex with a smooth semicircular depression on each side 

 just above the eyes ; median carina percurrent, marked with black on meto- 

 pidium and on the pronotal spine ; posterior process long, narrow, tectiform, 

 gradually acute, curving downwards at the tip which does not quite reach 

 apices of tegmina, entirely yellow. 



Tegmina long, narrow, hyaline, coriaceous and punctate at base and along 

 basal costal margin, veins prominent and brown, five apical and two discoidal 

 cells. , 



Under surface of body sordid yellow tinged with fuscous ; legs yellow, a 

 brown fascia down the middle of the first and second tibiae; tarsi fuscous; 

 hind tarsi very much shorter than other two pairs. 



Length from front of head to tips of tegmina 12. 8 mm.; width between 

 extremities of humeral angles 6 mm. 



Type: female. Allotype similar in size, color and markings. 



Locality : Bolivia. Definite locality, date and collector unknown. Type, 

 allotype and paratypes all secured several years ago from Staudinger and 

 Bang-Haas and labeled simply " B6livien." 



Near Umbonia redinata Germar, but differing particularly in being 

 entirely w^ithout the characteristic red markings. 



Large, uniformly bright yellow except tip of pronotal horn and 

 apical margins of humeral angles, which are black; very coarsely 

 punctate; pronotal horn very sharp and much inclined backward; 

 posterior process deflexed at tip and not quite reaching apices of 

 tegmina. 



Hoplophora rubripes new species. 



Head very small, dull yellow, very roughly sculptured, very hairy ; base 

 sinuate ; eyes large, prominent, centers dark brown, this bordered with a
