X, D, 6 Funkhouser : Review of the Philippine Membracidx 371 



more than likely that Buckton followed Walker's error in assign- 

 ing his insects to the wrong genus. I have specimens of C. 

 horrificus which conform to Buckton's descriptions and figures 

 for his supposed new species. 



Centrochares ho7-rificus, once examined, will not be readily 

 confused with other species, and the following brief description 

 will, I believe, suffice to assure its recognition: 



Female. — Ferruginous with yellowish spines. Suprahumeral 

 horns long, spreading, flattened, much swollen at tips. Pro- 

 notum with sudden elevation just above scutellum. Posterior 

 process reaching extremities of tegmina with high, swollen, 

 bilobed elevation before the tip. 



Head long, subfoliaceous, dark ferruginous, finely punctate, 

 very slightly pubescent, median line smooth; clypeus twice as 

 long as wide, obovate, bearing on each side two yellow tubercles ; 

 eyes large, translucent white with brownish fascia, bordered 

 internally with a row of four or five whitish yellow tubercles; 

 ocelli elevated, transparent, nearer to the eyes than to each 

 other, situated above a line passing through center of eyes, 

 bordered internally with three or four white tubercles. Pro- 

 notum ferruginous mottled with black ; deeply punctate, sparingly 

 pubescent, covered with irregular whitish yellow spines ; humeral 

 angles prominent; suprahumeral horns long, high, spreading, 

 flattened, tips swollen, more or less triquetrous, marked with 

 irregular flattened areas, tubercular; median ridge sharp, dis- 

 tinct, percurrent, closely tubercled ; metopidium rounded ; median 

 region above scutellum in a rounded elevation; posterior eleva- 

 tion twice as high as median, bilobed, rough, marked in flattened 

 areas; tip of posterior process blunt. Scutellum distinct, 

 strongly bifid. Tegmina opaque, sordid ferruginous marked 

 with black; base somewhat punctate; tip dark. Underside of 

 body dark brown. Sides of meta- and mesothorax bearing teeth. 



Legs light brown; tibiae much flattened, tuberculate; tarsi 

 yellow-brown. 



Length, 5 to 6 mm. ; width between extremities of pronotal 

 horns, 4 to 5 mm.; width between bases of pronotal horns, 0.5 

 to 1 mm. 



Male. — Dull black with yellowish spines. Tegmina brown- 

 black, light transparent area just below posterior elevation of 

 pronotum. Body very rough, punctured. Underparts of body, 

 base of legs, and femora black ; tibiae and tarsi light brown. 



Length, 3.5 to 5 mm. ; width between extremities of pronotal 

 horns, 2 to 3.5 mm.; width between bases of pronotal horns, 

 0.4 to 0.9 mm.
