is very distinct in color and has the front broader above and the 

 pronotum wider. 



Subfamily Tropiduchinse 



Tangia sponsa Guer. 



Three examples, taken at Mandeville, Balaclava and Hope 

 Bay. This is a broad species of a pale yellowish green color 

 with the head triangularly produced, obtuse at apex, about as 

 long as the width of the head across the eyes. Elytra with a 

 broad costal membrane crossed by numerous oblique veinlets. 



Tangia cultellator Walker. 



Taken at Kingston, Montego Bay and Hope Bay. This is 

 a slender light green species with the head drawn out in a long 

 slender and linear process fully twice as long as the width of 

 the head across the eyes. The elytra are narrow with the 

 whole surface of the areoles minutely papillate; costal mem- 

 brane very narrow. This species closely mimics a Dictyophora 

 in which genus it was placed by Walker. The type came from 

 St. Domingo. 



Subfamily Achilinae 



Catonia intricata Uhler. 



Three examples taken at Mandeville, April 3d. Two 

 smaller and darker specimens, probably males, have the rufous 

 tinge at the apex of the costal area quite pronounced, and agree 

 perfectly with a specimen determined as intricata by Prof. Ball 

 and kindly sent to me for comparison by him. One larger 

 specimen has the white granulations of the elytra much more 

 distinct. In all there is a dark cloud at the base of the clavus 

 bounded behind by a whitish transverse spot, and the wings are 

 dark smoky brown with fuscous nervures. 



At Mandeville I took one example of a very pretty and 

 interesting representative of this subfamily which unfortunately 

 had its head eaten off by ants so it is impossible for me to 

 locate either the genus or species, both of which I believe are 

 new. It is a short compact little fellow, 4 mm in length, convex 

 above, oblong in form, of a piceous brown color with the claval 

 region closely dotted with white and with an oblique white line 

 at the base and another at the apex of the costal area.
