 broadly curved on the sides posteriorly, the anterior margin yevy 

 broadly curved, the fine punctures almost eifaced ; the posterior 

 submargin with a dark line which ends each side in a black oblique

 Abdomen pale yellow, the tergum broadly black on the middle. 

 Male genital valve long, collar-like, the following pieces liguliform. 



Length to tip of wing-covers Sf-i mm. ; width of pronotum 

 Ig mm. 



Three specimens were captured in St. Vincent. One was found 

 in the mountain forest in July at an altitude of 2000 feet, another 

 occurred at 30U0 feet, and the thii-d was secured in June. 



Agallia capitata, sp. nov. 



Head wider than in the preceding species ; colour yellow, 

 spread and striped with dull black. Vertex blunt, moderately short, 

 marked with two small black dots parallel to the ocelli, and the 

 ocelli placed on larger dots which are connected bv a dark brown 

 band, a longitudinal streak crosses the band ; front long, sinuated 

 each side below the curved summit, almost covered by a blackish

Only two specimens of this peculiar species were brought from 

 the island. It bears some resemblance to the preceding species, 

 but, apart from the broader form and peculiar markings, it may 

 be at once recognized by the slender process at the tip of its 

 scutellum.
