24. GENUS ORTHOPLOPHORA FOWLER 



Orthoplophora Fowler, B. C. A. II : 46 (1894). 



Characteps : This genus was erected for the accommodation of a single species and no others 

 have ever been described in the genus. It is to be separated from Platycolis by the quite horizontal or 

 even slightly deflexed frontal horn and by the very long tegmina. Superficially it resembles an Umbonia 

 butdiffers from thatgenus in the length and character of the pronotal process. We have never seen 



0. salvini, the type of the genus, and are therefore reproducing Fowler's figure which should be 

 sufficient for its identification. 



Type salvini Fowler. 



Geographical distribution : Known only from a single species as follows : 



1. salvini Fowler, B. C. A. II : 47. i (1894). — Pl. 2, fig. 23. Mexico. 



25. GENUS STALOTYPA Metcalf 



Stalotypa Metcalf, Ent. News XXXVIII : i5 (1927). 

 Enchotypa Stal, Hem. Fabr. II : 37 (1869). 



Characters : Rather narrow-bodied insects with a thin compressed oblique frontal horn and 

 a very short posterior process which does not reach to the tip of the abdomen. The head is narrow, not 

 as broad as the base of the posterior process. The prothorax in roughly sculptured and coarsely punc- 

 tate. The tegmina have five apical and two discoidal cells and the hind wings have three apical cells. 



Type fairmairei Guerin. 



Geographical distribution : The genus is known only from the Island of Cuba with two 

 species as follows : 



1. concinna Fowler, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. II : 419 (1894). Cuba. 



2. /airmairei Giienn, Hist. Cuba Ins. 181 (i856). Cuba. 



Note : When .Stal proposed his subgenus Enchotypa he made a mistake in naming as the type « granadensis Guerin « 

 instead of •< fairmairei Guerin ». He later (1869) corrected this error but as Metcalf (1927) correctly pointed out, the cor- 

 rection cannot stand according to the rule of the Entomological Code which states : « The gentoyjie of a monobasic genus 

 is the only specitic name cited irrespective of misidentification )>. The species granadensis belongs in the genus Potnia but 

 fairmairei represents the group which Stal had in mind. Therefore the name Stalotypa as proposed by Metcalf must 

 be accepted.
