PHYLLOTROPIS ZONATA, Fairm. 
Membracis zonatn, Fairm. plate iv. figs. 16, 19, p. 248 ; 
Walk. l.c. p. 478. 
Habitat. —Brazil. —B. M. 
PHYLLOTROPIS MEXICANA, Guer., Fairm. 
(Plate II. figs. 5 and 6.) 
This species has been already described and figured as Membracis mexicana. 
PHYLLOTROPIS STOLLIDA. 
Membracis stollida, Fairm. p. 248; Walk. l.c. p. 478. 
Fairmaire refers to a specimen in Westwood’s collection, now incorporated in the 
Hope collection, Oxford. Probably a variety of the last. 
Habitat. —M ex i co.—B. M. 
PHYLLOTROPIS SEXMACULATA, Walk. 
Probably a pale variety of P. mexicana. It may be compared with M. ambigua. 
Habitat. —Honduras.—B.M. 
PHYLLOTROPIS AMBIGUA, Fairm. 
Membracis ambigua, Fairm. p. 249. 
Though it has some reference to P. mexicana the species has abnormal charac¬ 
teristics. See the B.M. specimen. 
Habitat .—Cayenne. 
PHYLLOTROPIS COX FINIS, n.s. 
(Plate III. figs. 5 and 5a.) 
Metopidium perpendicular, then almost semi-circular in outline; colour brown- 
black, with a pale yellowish band on the procephalic edge, a large reniform pale 
space above the shoulder, and a pale band before the apex, which last point is 
black ; tegmina dense brown ; wings hyaline, with fine black nervures ; legs black, 
with ferruginous tarsi, the hind ti bice serrated. 
This insect recalls P. provittata, from Surinam, but there are differences in the 
height of the crest, &c. Fairmaire’s description, by itself, is not sufficient to identify 
the species with M. Lefeburei. 
Of the two specimens in the Hope Collection one is a female (Fig. 5a), the other 
is a defective specimen of the male. 
Size, 8x9 mm. 
Habitat .—British Guiana, Amazons.
