altitude of 1600 feet above the sea. It was taken from foliage in 

 a damp forest, October 6th. Other specimens were found at 

 various points on the island, which are not recorded in any list 

 accessible to me. 



The generic name given above is derived from that of the great 

 tract of land belonging to the Caton family in Maryland, where 

 Plata (Catonia) nnva. Say, occurs, and where another species, 

 Cixiu^ {Catonia) cinctifrons. Fitch, abounds in autumn upon the 

 white hickory and oak trees. 



CuBANA, gen. nov. 



Abdomen more prismatic above and less flat than in Catonia, 

 with the hemelytra opaque, and the membrane not bent inwards 

 as in that genus. Head a little longer than tbe eyes, with the 

 lateral keels highly arched above the surface of the vertex and 

 front ; the vertex deeply sunken, almost regularlj^ quadrangular, 

 with the middle keel more distinct in one species than in the 

 other ; front long and moderately wide, the side strongly carinate 

 and curving, becoming \^ddest at the clypeus, and the curve 

 continued tapering to the tip, the middle carina exceptionally 

 high, as much elevated as the lateral margins, complete to tip of 

 clypeus. Pronotura unusually short, expanding into saddle-flaps 

 each side inferiorly. Mesonotum with a tabular disk, which is 

 much longer than wide, tricarinate, the outer cai'inse spreading 

 apart posteriorly, and behind this point the scutellum extends back 

 in a triangle. AVing-covers growing very gradually wider towards 

 the tip, bluntly rounded at tip ; four long discoidal areoles 

 running out to the oblique cross-veins, which form the base of the 

 apical areoles ; the costal area crossed by three oblique veins 

 before reaching the nodal mark, this latter followed by about four 

 curved veins before the apex is reached ; areoles of apical series 

 long, the fork connected with the middle vein longer than the 

 others ; basal areole small and narrow ; wings with three forked 

 veins and two transverse veins towards the tip. Posterior tibiae 

 destitute of spines before the tip. 



The generic name here given is derived from Cuba, on which 

 island these insects were first taken. 



CuBANA TOETBIX, sp. n0\ . 



Pale dull brown, moderately robust, with all the carinate lines 

 and borders and tip of scutellum pale testaceous. Grooves of 

 face blackish. Underside of body mostly pale testaceous. Legs 

 testaceous, with the spurs of tibise and tips of tarsi piceous. 

 Wing-covers shaded with pale brown, the \eins mostly ivory- 

 vellow ; the cross-veins of costal area, an oval spot beyond the tip 

 of tbe costa, almost encircled by a slender arc before and behind, 

 the slender apical margin, a bent line crossing the membrane 

 diagonally near its middle, a paler bent line across the middle of 

 the corium, and a short stripe at the apex connected with the
