Four specimens; two females, two larva?; Carillo, Costa Rica. 

 (Schild and Burgdorf.) [U. S. N. M.] 



As the larva is undescribed, a short description is appended. 



Size medium; form elliptical, strongly depressed ; surface scabrous. Head 

 completely hidden under the pronotum ; interspace between the eyes considerably 

 less than that between the ocelli ; eyes elongate, strongly depressed in the median 

 and posterior portions ; antennae not exceeding half the entire length, basal joint 

 very long, third joint not half the length of the first. Pronotum transverse; 

 anterior and lateral margins broadly rotundate ; posterior margin obtuse angu- 

 late, the apex not rounded, lateral angles rectangulate ; center of the disk with 

 a pair of depressed spaces, and a sulcus extending longitudinally through the center 

 of the pro-, meso- and metanotum. Meso- and metanotum with their posterior 

 margin concave, slightly produced centrally. Abdomen with the lateral portions 

 of the dorsal segments produced posteriorly. Supra-anal plate transverse, with 

 the apical portion expanded, lateral angles rounded, apical margin gently 

 arcuate, centrally with a small V-shaped emargination. Cerci short and broad, 

 half as broad as long, greatest width median, acuminate, somewhat depressed, 

 not equalling the supra-anal plate in length. Subgenital plate transverse, some- 

 what produced, apex very deeply and narrowly fissate, supplied with two short 

 styles. Arolia rather small. 



General color wood brown, darkest on the head, center of the pronotum, meso- 

 notum and metanotum, and pair of longitudinal bars which converge posteriorly 

 and meet at the base of the supra-anal plate. The whole surface, whether light 

 or dark, is irregularly and heavily scrumbled with the opposite tint.

Homceogamia sp. 



One immature specimen ; Buenos Ayres, Argentina. [A. N. S.

This specimen is too immature to positively identify, but appears 

 to be related to H. brasiliana Saussure.*
