MEMBRA CIDJE. 
10 o 
ORTHOPLOPHORA SALVINI. 
Fowl. Tab. IV. figs. 10. 10a. 
Colour greyish ochreous; pronotum unicolorous, with two broad black bands 
which extend about two-thirds of the distance between the suprahumeral processes 
and the pronotal apex. 
The straight dorsum and the black bands separate this species from both 
Platycotis and Aconophoroides. 
Size, 13 mm. 
Habitat. —Mexico, Vera Cruz. 
ACONOPHOROIDES, Fowler. 
Fowl. l.c. p. 47 (1894). 
In general form like Aconophora, but the few species yet described, more nearly 
approach Potnia and Hoplophora. They have small posterior tarsi, the first and 
the second pairs being much the longest, and the pronota have strongly carinated 
edges. The neuration, however, seems to be closely related to Aconophora, and 
shows four apical cells in the tegmina.

Ins. Saund. p. 69. 
Ferruginous ; head short; eyes prominent; procephalon porrect, ascending, red, 
with a black border on each side ; pronotum acute and recurved at the tip, with six 
yellow carinse ; tegmina ferruginous ; nervures very stout. 
Sub-genus: ENCHOTYPE, Stab 
Stal Vet. Akacl. Handl. (2) 8 (1) p. 37 (1869). 
This sub-genus contains a few insects, in general form not unlike those included in 
Potnia, but the descriptions, according to Stal, give only three apical areas to the 
tegmina. 
Perhaps the insect I have figured on Plate XVII. fig. 6 as an Umbonia (in 
which particular I have followed Canon Fowler’s lead) should be better referred to 
the above sub-genus. Accordingly, I place it below for further reference, viz., 
ENCHOTYPE GLADIUS, Fairm. 
Umbonia gladius, Fairm. l.c. p. 275, Plate VI. fig. 4 ; U. gladius, Fowl. l.c. p. 38, t. 3, fig. 13. 
The dorsal horn is large and erect, with a red streak on each of its sides. It is 
apparently a rare species.
