Genus: OCHROPEPLA, Stal. 
Ofv. Yet. Ak. Forh. xxvi. p. 268; Fowler, l.c. p. 43. 
This genus differs from Platycotis partly in the neuration of the tegmina, which 
show only four apical areas (the upper one often is very minute), and also in the 
smaller dimensions of the insects. There is some variation likewise in the length of 
the pronotum, which reaches considerably short of the tips of the wings. 
OCHROPEPLA PALLENS, Stal. 
(Plate XXJ. fig. 4.) 
Fowler, l.c. p. 44. 
Ochreous-grey, supra-humerals blunt; pronotum much punctured with a distinct 
central carina; tegmina ochreous-grey, with yellow neuration. 
The specimen I draw has five apical areas, but the normal number appears to be 
four. It is much smaller, but does not greatly differ otherwise from Ochropepla corrosa . 
OCHROPEPLA CORROSA. 
(Plate XXII. figs. 1, la, lb.) 
Iloplophora corrosa , Fairm. l.c. p. 272, Plate VI. fig. 11 ; O. corrosa, Fowler, B.C.A., Tab. 6, fig. 6, 
p. 44; Hoplophora punctum, Fairm. p. 272; O. punclum, Stal, l.c. p. 268. 
Colour uniformly ochreous, with a greenish tinge, coarsely punctured ; metopidium 
vertical, then rounded, and the dorsal ridge continued backwards to the apical point; 
supra-humerals blunt, with no other processes ; pronotum reaches to rather more 
than half the length of the tegmina; these last organs are finely pilose, with obscure 
yellow nervures; legs stout, hirsute, with short tarsi, the hind pair the shortest; the 
pronotum, seen from the back, is trapezoidal. 
Size, 6x4 mm. 
Habitat. —-Colombia, Panama, Bogota.
