 by Mr. C. D. Haines. 



CoRYTHUCA HISPIDA n. Sp. 



Dull white, with the eyes and body black, the antennae 

 a little lurid yellow, and darker at tip, Pronotal hood 

 long, tapering rapidly toward the front, with comparative- 

 ly long spines all over, pointing in all directions, provided 

 with mostly circular small cells, the anterior division sep- 

 arated from the globose base by an abrupt constriction ; 

 the lateral lamellae bean-shaped, mostly opaque, but with 

 small circular cells, separated anteriorly from the hood 

 by a narrow triangular space, the surface and particular- 

 ly the margins armed with mostly close-set spines. Scu- 

 tellum with the medial carina low, armed with spines 

 pointing outwards from both sides, as is the case with the 

 reflexed outer margins. Hemielytra comparatively nar- 

 row, with three rows of circular variable cells between 

 the discoidal flexed carina and the outer border, the cos- 

 tal margin set with long straight spines which decrease in 

 length near the tip, these continue to within three cells of 

 the tip; discoidal carinate bulla low, spread with about 

 four rows of almost quadrangular cells. Legs fulvo- 

 testaceous. 



Length to apex of hemielytra, 2^-3 mm. Width 

 across pronotal lamella?, 1% mm. 



This novel species was taken at San Esteban, in April,
