Pscudomops fiaiivpcs, var., Walker, 1. c. p. 79, n. 10 (1868). 

 Pseudomops lualkcri, Kirby, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), xii,

As shown by a drawing of the type now at Berlin this 

 species is very closely allied to P. aj/inis, and the arrange- 

 ment of colours on the pronotum is identical, however 

 Jlavipcs has flavid legs and the abdomen and tegmina 

 appear to be paler. 



14. P. angusta, Wlk. (Santarem, Colombia.) 

 Pseudomops angusta, Walker, I.e. p. 81, n. 19 (1868). 



$ . Head shining black with a round yellowish spot on the 

 frons ; clypeus yellow, labrum black ; maxillary palpi luteous, 

 apical joint black. Antennte with the basal half incrassated, black, 

 a white band at the base of the apical half occupying eight joints. 

 Pronotum with the posterior border strongly produced, black, bor- 

 dered all round with bright yellow, the lateral borders at one point 

 on .each side produced inwards to form two broad projections which 

 do not meet. Tegmina ferruginous at the base, at the apex flavo- 

 hyaline, the costal margin testaceous between the veins, the medi- 

 astinal field hyaline ; a slender fuscous humeral stripe. Wings 

 flavo-hyaline. Abdomen, cerci and legs luteous-yellow ; bases of 

 the coxa3 black. Cerci long, not spatulate. Supra-anal lamina, 

 produced, quadrate. 



Total length 13 mm. ; length of tegmina 10 mm. 



This description is taken from a specimen in the Hope 

 Museum, Oxford; it differs a little from the type which is 

 in the British Museum, but is too close to be separated. 



The species is allied to P. jlavipcs, Burni., bat diifers by 

 the broader testaceous baud on the antennaB, by the greater 

 extent of the yellow margins of the pronotum, the black 

 disc of the pronotum being almost divided into two by 

 the inward projections of the yellow lateral borders; the 

 intervenular stripes of opaque testaceous on the tegmina 

 are variable characters. 



15. P. hurri, n. sp. (Ecuador, Cachabi.) (Plate XIV, 



fig. 1.) 



5 . Allied to P. angusta^ Wlk., but smaller, prothorax not so 



markedly produced behind. Head orange-yellow with the vertex and 



frons black or entirely black with orange lines above the antennal 



sockets and at base of clypeus ; two orange lines behind the eyes ; the
