UMBONIA RECLINATA, Germ. 
(Plate XVII. fig. 2.) 
Germ. Iloplophora reclinata Silb. Rev. Ent. iii. p. 243 (1835). Umbonia reclinata, Fairm. l.c. 
p. 27G, t. 1, fig. 3. Fowler, l.c. p. 34, Tab. III. figs. 12, 12a, 12b. Walk. Umbonia multiformis, 
l.c. Suppl. p. 129. Stal. Umbonia funestra, Ofv. Vet. Akad. p. 249. 
Large ; general colour brick-red, with a yellow stripe proceeding from the humeral 
process to the apex of the dorsal horn; another dusky yellow streak runs from the 
frons to the same apex, and also a central streak divided by a fine line; tegmina 
grey; legs dusky red, the front pair the smallest, rather flattened. 
This striking insect is variable in colour. The male, as figured in the B.C.A., is 
smaller, and green. 
Size, 15 x 10 mm. 
Habitat. —Chilpancingo, 4600 feet; Costa Rica. 
UMBONIA PYRAMIDALIS, Fairm. 
(Plate XVII. figs. 3, 3a, 3b.) 
Fairmaire, l.c. p. 277. Fowler, l.c. p. 35. 
The chief characteristics of this species are the robust and compact form of the 
pronotum, and the shortness of the abdomen ; the dorsal horn rises triangularly from 
the basal line of the pronotum ; it has five red streaks down the edges of each of the 
six carinations ; pronotum of a dirty green colour, deeply punctured, with two 
obscure yellowish bands or blotches on each side ; suprahumerals moderately long, 
and best seen from the front aspect; tegmina reddish-brown ; middle tibiae each with 
a red stripe. 
Drawn from a female insect in the British Museum Collection, but not in good 
condition. 
Size, 14 x 12 mm. 
Habitat. —Mexico, Oaxaca, Brazil. 
UMBONIA SUBCLIVATA, n.s. 
(Plate XVII. fig. 4.) 
Large ; colour brick-red, coarsely blotched with brown; dorsal horn moderately 
elevated, slightly recurved and acute; tegmina long, obscure greyish-green ; legs 
ferruginous, with rather strong grey tarsal joints. 
Has some resemblance to U. reclinata, and as the figure is that of a female, 
it is possible that it may prove to belong to that species.
