Neocoelidia verecunda (Fowler), new combination 



Tettigonia verecunda Fowler 1900, p. 269, tab. 18, fig. 7. 

 Stenocoelidia verecunda (Fowler), DeLong 1953, p. 122. 



Unfortunately this Guatemalan species is knoAvn from females 

 only, and its generic placement is open to question. I have studied 

 Fowler's two syntypes in the British Museum and two additional 

 specimens in the collection of the U.S. National Museum. In none 

 of the specimens are the longitudinal red markings on the crown, 

 pronotum, and forewings quite as distinct as illustrated with Fowler's 

 original description. 



Neocoelidia crenulata Osborn 



Figures 29-35 

 Neocoelidia crenulata Osborn 1923, p. 79. 



This species was described from a single male from Minca, Colombia. 

 The type was made available through the courtesy of Dr. G. E. Wal- 

 lace and the Carnegie Museum. In general it is marked like N. 

 fuscodorsata except that there are no spots on the scutellum and the 

 longitudinal dorsal stripe is crenulate on its margins. The genitalia 

 of the type are illustrated in figures 29-35. 



Chinaia Bruner and Metcalf

Chinaia Bruner and Metcalf 1934, p. 120. Type of genus Chinaia bella Bruner 

 and Metcalf by original designation. 



Description. — Without carina separating face and crown. Cly- 

 pellus expanded distally. Shape of crown in dorsal view broadly 

 rounded, wider than long. Ocelli on face distinctly below anterior 

 margin of crown. Head including e^^es narrower than pronotum, 

 which is not indented on posterior margin. Antenna very long, 

 exceeding total length of body including forewings. Venation of 

 forewings obscure except at apex. 



Ground color yellowish to pale orange, with orange to bright red- 

 orange markings on pronotum and extensively on forewings. Dark- 

 brown markings often found on clavus and apical portion of forewings 

 as well. 



Male genitalia: Valve obscure. Plates deep and scoop-shaped. 

 Pygofer either with dorsal processes or an elongation of terminus. 

 Anal tube simple. Connective cruciform and not fused with aedeagus. 

 Aedeagus moderately straight or recurved with or without lateral 

 flaps. 



Discussion. — This is a Neotropical genus; most of the described 

 species occur in Central America, but a few are South American.
