MEMBRA CIDJE. 
124 
Notwithstanding the circumstance that I could not dissect this specimen for proof 
of the sex, I regard it as a male example of the above species. 
Size, 13 x 6 mm. 
Habitat. —Sabo, Vera Paz. 
N.B.—Figures 1, la, lb, and 2, 2a, are drawn under the same amplification. 
HYPHINOE PUNCTORUM, n.s. 
(Plate XXYIII. figs. 3, 3a.) 
In the late Mr. Wollaston’s Collection there is an insect closely allied to 
Hyphinoe purulensis, yet it differs in several respects. I describe and draw it for 
comparison. I hesitate to think it only a variety of Hemiptychapunctum of' Fairmaire, 
though his figure 22, PI. VI. p. 218, strongly recalls it; and therefore I name it 
from the distinct row of small brown dots disposed above the pronotal margin. 
Colour oehreous yellow, finely punctured; besides the above-mentioned brown 
dots, a large brown spot occurs on each side of the pronotum ; the suprahumeral 
horns are subacute, short, and divergent; the pronotum has a straight ridge passing 
from the head to the apex, and is as long as the tegmina ; these last organs are grey 
coloured, with obscure yellow neuration; the legs are pale. The insect is larger than 
H. purulensis or H. punctum with which it might be collated. In outward appearance 
it even might be referred to the genus Ceresa. 
Size, 11x8 mm. 
Habitat. —Bio de Janeiro. 
N.B.—For convenience in grouping Plate XXVIII. this species has been there 
placed. The above description is here ranged under the genus Hyphinoe, but the 
figure is there out of sequence. 
HYPHINOE ATITLANA, Fowl. 
Fowl, l.c. Tab. YI. fig. 2. 
Fowler says this is a very distinct little species, but seems to think it may 
prove to be only a variety of H. tern. The male insect was only known to him. The 
figures given do not show much difference from H. tan, so here I treat it as a variety 
captured on the Volcan de Atitlan, Guatemala. Height, 3500 feet. 
HYPHINOE CAMELUS, Gray.
