 eyes, including which it is narrower than the base of meso- 

 notum, its length about half the breadth between eyes ; ocelli 

 nearly twice the distance from eyes as from each other, front 

 slightly prominent ; pronotum slightly shorter than meso- 

 notum, its lateral margins oblique and sinuate, the posterior 

 angles a little sinuate ; abdomen broad and robust, about as 

 long as space between the apex of head and base of cruci- 

 form elevation, the tympanal orifices completely concealed by 

 the tympanal coverings; opercula in male not passing the 

 base of abdomen ; metasternum elevated at middle and 

 furnished with a posterior process directed backward ; rostrum 

 almost reaching the posterior coxse ; tegmina about two and 

 a half times as long as greatest breadth, apical areas eight, 

 basal cell longer than broad ; wings more than half the 

 length of tegmina, apical areas six. 



Allied to Cryptotympana, but head narrower than base of 

 mesonotum, opercula in male not passing base of abdomen

Salvazana mirabilis, sp. n. 



<$ . Body black ; head with narrow posterior margin and 

 a spot on lateral margins of vertex castaneous ; pronotum

 the two upper ulnar areas piceous ; costal membrane casta- 

 neous, postcostal membrane black ; wings with about basal 

 halves white, opaque, outwardly defined by a transverse 

 piceous fascia, which is connected with piceous apical and 

 postcostal margins which surround an apical hyaline area ; 

 anterior femora armed beneath with a basal and two subapical
