gense nearly straight; clypeus very broad, projecting for nearly half its 

 length- below inferior margins of gense, tip broadly rounded and pilose. 



Pronotum very dark brown, closely punctate, sparingly pubescent ; pro- 

 duced anteriorly upward and forward in a somewhat flattened blunt point ; 

 three light yellow or sordid white spots, one on the median anterior margin 

 of the pronotum just below the apex of the process, one on the median dorsal 

 line at the posterior base of the process and just back of the humeral angles, 

 and one near the tip of the posterior process ; median carina percurrent and 

 very sharp ; humeral angles not produced ; posterior process gradually acute, 

 tectiform, reaching just beyond the internal angles of the tegmina and about 

 to the tip of the abdomen. 



Tegmina ferruginous, subhy.aline ; the base and the basal costal cell 

 coriaceous and strongly punctate ; an indistinct wide brown fascia extending 

 obliquely across the apical half; tip lighter just above apex; veins prominent, 

 somewhat pilose ; five apical and two discoidal cells. 



Legs and under surface of body uniformly ferruginous-brown ; first and 

 second tibiae very foliaceous and strongly pubescent with long golden hairs ; 

 hind tibiae not foliaceous, armed behind with strong spines. 



Length from front of head to tips of tegmina 5.7 mm. ; from apex of 

 pronotum to tips of tegmina 7.2 mm. ; width between humeral angles 2.6 mm. 



Type : female. 



Locality: Iquitos, Peru. April 16, 1920 (Parish). 



Allotype from Flores, Manaos, Brazil, Nov. 7, 1919. The male is con- 

 siderably smaller than the female but the markings are the same. Paratypes 

 from Prata, Brazil, July 5. 1919, and from Iquitos, Peru, collected April 21, 

 1920. In one of the paratypes the margins of the light areas are not so well 

 defined as in the type. 



Large, very dark brown with three yellowish spots, one on the 

 front of the pronotum. one on the median line just behind humeral 

 angles and one just before apex of posterior process; pronotum pro- 

 duced anteriorly in a blunt point; tegmina ferruginous and brown; 

 under surface and legs brown. 



Leioscyta ferruginea new species. (PI. I, fig. 7.) 



Head slightly convex, subquadrangular, brown, finely punctate, closely 

 pubescent with very short silvery hairs ; base arcuate ; eyes very large, black, 

 shining, conspicuous ; ocelli large, yellow, conspicuous, twice as far from each 

 other as from the eyes and situated well above a line passing through centers 

 of eyes ; margins of genae straight ; clypeus large, very broad, extending for 

 more than half its length below inferior margins of genae, tip semicircular 

 and pilose. 



Pronotum entirely ferruginous except a small subhyaline spot just before 

 apex of posterior process; finely punctate, sparingly pubescent; somewhat
