Oncometopia foment osa, sp. n. 



Vertex, pronotum, and scutellum brownish ochraceous, 

 the vertex, anterior area of pronotum, and scutellum more 

 or less pale violaceously tomentose ; abdomen above bluish 

 black, the segmental margins brownish, the lateral and apical 

 margins greyishly tomentose ; body beneath and legs 

 brownish ochraceous and more or less thickly greyishly 

 tomentose; tegmina very pale testaceous, somewhat thickly 

 sprinkled with small greyish dots, more prominently so on 

 costal and claval areas, the apical cells ochraceous and 

 practically unspotted; wings fuliginous, the. veins black; 

 vertex shorter than breadth between eyes, truncately rounded 

 in front, medially a little depressed ; face centrally broadly 

 flattened where it is finely granulose and with a faint central 

 longitudinal line, lateral areas strongly transversely striate, 

 the sides of the face and cheeks thickly greyishly tomentose ;

Walker's unlocalized species is a much larger insect, 

 differently spotted on the vertex and pronotum ; face longer 

 and more deflected before clypeus than in 0. fowleri, its 

 basal half black, apical half castaneous, and the lateral 

 carinate areas ochraceous. 



Oncometopia peruviensis , sp. n. 



Vertex, pronotum, and scutellum ochraceous ; vertex with 

 two central spots in longitudinal sequence, which are de- 

 lineated by black margins, the apical one rounded, the basal 

 spot angulate, oblique black striae on lateral apical areas ; 

 pronotum with reticulate castaneous lines delineating spots, 

 of which one on each lateral area and one central are 

 rounded, and between these on each side is a long sub- 

 quadrate spot almost divided by a transverse castaneous 

 line; scutellum with castaneous lines and shadings on basal 

 half delineating a small spot at each basal angle, a transverse
