margin posteriorly, brown, sometimes also a pale brown streak at 

 base of corium and two or three traces on the postero-apical 

 portion of the corium and membrane ; wings smoky, with pale 

 brown veins. 



Length to tip of abdomen 3|— 3j mm. ; width between wiag- 

 covers 11 mm. ; expanse of wing-covers 10-10| mm. 



This beautiful little insect was found at Kingstown and at other 

 places on the island, and at altitudes from 1500 to 2500 feet above 

 sea-level. 



A closely related species was sent to me many years ago from 

 the island of Cuba by Dr. John Gundlacb. 



CUBANA IRBOHATA, Sp. UOV. 



Pale fulvous, more or less farijiose posteriorly, both above and 

 below. Head a little less oblique at the summit of the front than 

 in the preceding species. Carinate lines of the head and thorax a 

 little paler than the adjoining surface. The under surface paler 

 than the upper. The mesonotum dark brown and the scutellum 

 pale. Inferior margin of the thorax pale. Legs pale testaceous, 

 with the tip of the tarsi piceous. Wing-covers mostly whitish, 

 faintly tinged with brown towards the tip, the veins interrupted 

 with brown, near the apex more distinctly streaked with black, 

 and with a blackish dot near the inferior apical extremity ; clavus 

 with three dark oblique bands, the outer one of which is much 

 wider than the others ; near the base of corium are several faint 

 streaks, followed on the middle by a bent band which touches a 

 stripe on the lower border ; the base of membrane is bounded by a 

 wavy band which covers the white cross-veins ; beyond this the 

 membrane has several angular streaks near the upper margin, a 

 diagonal band running back from the middle, and a curved stripe 

 behind the dot next the lower border. "Wings a little smoke- 

 tinged, the veins brown. 



Length to tip of abdomen 2| mm. ; expanse of wing-covers

Four specimens, all in less mature condition, were collected by 

 Mr. Smith. 



CoTyLECEPS, gen. uov. 



Form of Bothriocera, excepting in the shape of head. Vertex 

 shorter than the eyes, but projecting nearly the full length in 

 front of them, with the surface deeply sunken and the sides 

 correspondingly and acutely elevated, having the line of contact 

 with the front indented ; the front long, deeply scooped out, with 

 the sides foliaceous, expanded and then tapering to the tip of 

 the epistoma, the carina of the middle much lower than the sides, 

 point of junction between front and epistoma indented and 

 occupied by an ocellus, epistoma with a low and thick carina ; 

 cheeks broad, somewhat foliaceous, excavated above the eyes ; 

 rostrum reaching to the posterior coxae. Pronotum very short,
