MEMBRA CID+E. 
ENCHENOPA EPHIPPII, n.s 
(Plate V. figs. 6, (ia.) 
Large ; general colour warm drab-brown. 
Pronotum produced in front to a porrect blunt process, and carried posteriorly to 
a sharp brown point; the dorsal ridge nearly straight, with a conspicuous oblong 
saddle-like bright yellow patch; the female is much larger than the male, and has 
stouter legs; tegmina rather pointed, particularly in the male: each tegmen has a 
frilled or corrugated limbus at the circumference; the legs of the $ are longer, and 
the hind pair has more strongly serrated tibiae than the $. 
Figured from broken specimens fixed on the same pin in the Hope Collection 
(Miers). This insect recalls to mind E. lanceolata. 
Size, $10x4; <£8x3 mm. 
ENCHENOPA GLADIUS. 
(Plate Y. figs. 7, 7a.) 
Encheuopa yladius, Fab. Metnbracis yladius , Fab. Encheuopa yladius, Stab, l.c. Vet. Ak. Handl 
(2) 8, (1) p. 42. Fowler, p. 10, Tab. I. fig. 15. 
Pronotum, at the back, of a dusky-red, but with a fine copper-like lustre in a strong 
light; the procephalic horn long, fiat, thin, and scooped when seen from the front: 
carinations five or more in number; the horn projects forwards and is very erect; hind 
legs serrated ; tarsi small and yellow ; tegmina dark brown. 
There is only one example in the Hope Collection, captured by Bates on the 
Amazons, and only one apparently, seen by Canon Fowler, whose figure fairly agrees 
with that I give; but my specimen is rather larger. 
The thin porrect horn distinguishes this species from most others of the genus. 
Size, 12 x 4 mm. 
Habitat .—Amazons (Bates Coll.). 
ENCHENOPA 8ERICEA, Walk. 
(Plate V. fig. 8, and Plate VI. fig. (i.) 
Walk. Homop. Ins. ii. p. 493 ; Fowler, Tab. I. fig. 13, p. 10. 
General colour warm ferruginous, with a violet glance ; whole insect sparsely 
covered with delicate white silky hairs; hind-femora slightly serrated; recalls 
E. tessetata. 
Size, from tip of pronotum to tip of tegmina 10 x 4 mm. 
Habitat. —Chilpaneingo, Pueraro, at 4000 feet; Panama, Venezuela.
