WINTER NUMBER 39 
. process), broader paranota and well developed carinae. Length, 
6.57 mm.; width, 3.7 mm. 
Antennae rather long, the third segment three and a half times the 
length of the fourth. Pronotum tricarinate, the lateral and median carinae 
well developed, the former diverging posteriorly. Paranota moderately wide, 
rounded, biseriate, the areolae rather large. Bucculae not contiguous in 
front. Hood moderately large, not covering the anterior portion of the 
head nor any part of the triangular process of pronotum, the length about 
twice its height, the areolae very large and irregular. Elytra faintly con- 
stricted a little beyond the middle, broadly rounded at the tips; costal area 
from three to four seriate at the widest part, the areolae large and irregu- 
larly arranged; subcostal area mostly triseriate, the discoidal area raised, 
with four rows of areolae at widest part, the areolae about equal in size to 
those of subcostal area. The nervures of hood, paranota and elytra are 
large and much coarser than in pellucida. 
General color yellowish brown, with a few fuscous markings. Areolae 
of hood fuscous, non-transparent. Legs and antennae yellowish brown, the 
tips of tarsi and apical segments of the latter dark fuscous. Paranota and 
elytra with the areolae mostly hyaline (a few cells near the apex of the 
elytra partly clouded), some of the nervelets partly fuscous. Body beneath 
dark yellowish brown. 
One specimen, a female, from Brazil. Type in my collection. 
This species somewhat modifies the generic description of Mega- 
locysta Champion, the bucculae being either closed (pellucida) 
or open (championi). The lateral carina, omitted in the original 
description, are only slightly developed and are entirely covered 
by the hood. Specimens of pellucida from Panama (collected 
by Dr. E. A. Schwarz) differ from the original description, and 
a cotype before me, in having the paranota partly biseriate and 
lateral carinae slightly more developed. Named in honor of Dr. 
G. C. Champion, who founded the genus. 
Galeatus schwarzi n. sp. (Fig. 1) 
_ Very distinct and readily separated from G. peckhami Ashm. 
by its much smaller size, the much larger hood and more strongly 
inflated posterior triangular portion of pronotum and differently 
formed paranota. Length, 2.95 mm.; width, 1.22 mm. 
Head armed with long, rather stout, blunt spines; two anterior spines, 
one on each side of median line porrect or with the tips more or less con- 
verging; median and latero-posterior spines appressed closely to the head. 
Antennae slender, rather long, the first segment about twice the length of 
the second; third segment slightly curved, one and a half times the length 
of fourth, the latter clothed with numerous fine hairs. Rostrum reaching 
to the end of rostral sulcus. Pronotum smooth, slightly shining, not very 
closely punctured, tricarinate; lateral carinae very short, each composed 
of a single, flap-like cell; median carina very strongly foliaceous, short, 
about half as long as the head, connected with the median nervure of the
