HYPSOPRORA AN ATTN A, Fowler. 
(Plate IX. figs. 1, la.) 
Ilypsoprora anatina, Fowler; l.c. Tab. II. figs. 16, 16a. 
Pronotum with a high and erect cephalic horn, which is much dilated in the 
middle, and has a strong central cariua ; dorsum sinuous, hut with no marked pro¬ 
tuberance ; edge finely setose from the apex to the summit. Colour f'usco-ferruginous, 
obscurely blotched with a whitish secretion. Tegmina obscurely punctured ; rufous, 
spotted with dark grey; eyes large, and seated in circular rims; frons long; tibia 
grey, with rufous spots. 
Size, 4x4 or G x 4 mm. 
Habitat. —Panama, Bugaba ; 3000 feet (Champion). 
Figured from Canon Fowler’s private Collection. 
1TYPSOPRORA CASSIS,* n.s. 
(Plate IX. fig. 2d.) 
Pronotum and the general colour dark brown ; frons hirsute and separated from 
the procephalon (metopidium ?) by an arched suture ; legs dark brown, but pilose, 
and rufous in some lights-; tibia rather flattened. The figure is drawn from a 
specimen collected by Wollaston. 
I conclude it to be a male, as it wants the large valves, drawn in the plate repre¬ 
senting the female insect. 
Habitat. —Nortli Australia. 
If this locality be rightly given, the occurrence of the species so far removed from 
America is interesting. 
Size, 6x5 mm. 
ITYPSOPRORA CASSIS, n.s. ? . 
(Plate IX. figs. 3, 3a.) 
Concolorous, ochreous yellow; procephalon flat, and shaped like that of 
H. insignis , but the apex is broadly expanded laterally, like a fish tail, when seen in 
front view ; the dorsum has a pointed protuberance between the shoulders, and the 
pronotum is tinged with yellow, and extended to the tail ; legs fulvous and sub- 
spatulate ; tegmina as in H. insignis. This insect, collected by Wollaston, is a female. 
In one aspect the pronotum has the form of an ancient helmet, whence the above 
specific name is suggested. 
Size, 7x5 mm. 
Habitat. —North Australia. 
* From Cassis, a helmet.
