[Vol. IX, No. 5, 
It will be noticed that while a considerable number of species 
in this list corresponds with the nearctic representatives of our 
own latitude, the great majority are different. A considerable 
number are South American and so far as records show many are 
restricted in range to the Central American region. While these 
records will be of service in deductions concerning the relation¬ 
ship of this fauna it is not my purpose here to go into any dis¬ 
cussion of the geographical affinities. This can better be done 
in connection with discussions of the geographical range in par¬ 
ticular families. 
MEMBRACIDAE. 
Pterygia bituberculata Fowl. 
One good example of this species from Los Amates agrees 
closely with Fowler’s description and figure. I have not seen 
hispida Fairmaire and cannot determine as to distinctness of 
the two species. 
Sphongophorus ballista. 
Taken at Puerto Barrios, March 3d, and Livingston, March 5, 
1905. Certainly one of the most grotesque of this peculiar group. 
Bolbonota pictipennis Fairm. 
From Puerto Barrios, March 3d. 
Tylopelta gibbera Stal. 
Puerto Barrios, March 3d, evidently fairly common, the 
collection including nine examples. 
Aconophora temaxia Fowler. 
Four females, six males Puerto Barrios, March 3d. 
Fowler’s description is based on three females only. The 
males associated here differ from the females in being smaller 
and of a darker color the pronotal horn slightly shorter but 
otherwise very similar. 
Aconophora nigra Stal. 
A single specimen from Puerto Barrios, March 3d, and one 
from Mazatenango Feb. 3d. 
Hyphonoe asphaltina Fairm. 
A number of specimens of this common species from Puerto 
Barrios, and Los Amates. These show quite a little variation 
in size and convexity of anterior face of pronotum. 
Acutalis fusconervosa Fairm. 
One specimen, collected at Los Amates in February, and four 
from Mazatenango February 3d. The anterior face of pronotum 
is decidedly tawny. 
Micrutalis lugubrina Stal. 
One specimen, Los Amates, is referred here. In some points 
it agrees with the variety parallela of Fowler.
