D. Ball. It agrees in all essential details with our series 
from Barrio Caobilla, Camaguey, June 23-25, ’27, J. A. 
This genus was described by Uhler as belonging to the fam- 
ily Cixiidae. It belongs, however, to the family Tropiduchidse 
and the tribe Tambiniini. In Melichar’s key it falls next to 
his genus Amapala with two species from South and Cen- 
tral America. It differs principally from this genus in 
cephalic and thoracic characters. The wing venation is 
apparently quite similar. The essential characters of this 
genus are well illustrated by the figures and need not be 
repeated. The general color is greenish testaceous, bright 
green on the frons between the carinse and on the lateral 
fields of the pronotum. The carinse of the frons, the lateral 
carinse of the clypeus and a stripe on the lateral fields of the 
pronotum are bright orange red. The lateral carinse of the 
vertex are bordered with black. There is also a broad ir- 
regular cloud of the same color on the gense above the com- 
pound eyes, on the anterior margin of the mesonotum and 
on the bases of the wings, also on the lateral fields of the 
clypeus. Two irregular rings on the fore and middle femora 
and one at the apices of the fore and middle tibia and an 
irregular cloud on the hind femora are dark brown shading 
to black. The mesopleura have a conspicuous round black 
spot. 
Male genitalia, the ninth segment is short and broad. 
The genital plates are about three times as long as the 
ninth segment with a distinct triangular tooth occupying 
the basal third, followed by a distinct notch apically. Tenth 
segment elongate, slender, deeply inserted into the ninth 
segment. Anal spine reaching about half way to the apex 
of the tenth segment. 
There is also a specimen of this insect in the Gundlach 
Museum, Havana, labeled “Steptocratus, No. 328.” Gund- 
lach records this (MS notebook) as taken at “Rangel” 
(Sierra Rangel Mountains, Pinar del Rio).

type of the genus. Melichar 1914f : 11 describes the genus
