CYPHONIA CLAVIGERA, Burm. $ . 
(Plate XXXIII. fig. 6, ? .) 
Combophora, Burm. Fairm. l,c. p. 503. 
Pronotum brownish-black, rough, and sculptured, with short divergent spines 
between the shoulders. The hinder part with a black, shining globose process from 
which springs two larger pyriform balls, each terminated by a black spine; (white 
according to Fairmaire), a longer indexed medial spine is furnished by the central 
lobe. Tegmina ample, with ferruginous neuration and a broad corrugated limbus. 
Abdomen and legs sordid yellow. 
Size, 5x3 mm. 
Habitat. —Para, Brazil, Patagonia, Amazons. 
CYPHONIA FUSCATA, n.s. 
(Plate XXXIII. figs. 7, 7a.) 
Robust, concolorous brown, very hirsute ; head and metopidium broad, with short 
divergent suprahumeral horns, which are slightly dilated (renflees) as seen in the 
profile, but acute by the dorsal aspect. The posterior part of the pronotum composed 
of three lobes, one central, which ends in a short spine, ochreous at the tip, and two 
lateral pyriform lobes, each ending also in ochreous thorn-like points. The tegmina 
hyaline, with the areas filled by convex membranes, which catch the glancing light, 
but have very faint nervures. The legs, or rather the tibise, orange. There is also 
a small dorsal process. The whole insect is bristly. 
Figured from a specimen in the B.M. Collection which was labelled Cyphonia 
clavigera, Fab., but it can hardly be that insect, at least it is quite different from 
that I consider to be such. 
Size, 5x3 mm. 
Habitat. —Para, Amazons. 
N.B.—As a general characteristic, Cyphonia may be separated from the allied 
genus Poppea by the presence of a posterior globular central bulb, from which two 
lateral bulbs spring and give rise to the more or less lengthy sinuous processes. 
CYPHONIA JUGALIS, n.s. 
(Plate XXXIY. figs. 1, la.) 
Pronotum black, with two suprahumeral, two small dorsal, and three long posterior 
pronotal processes, all of which are black and densely hirsute. The rest of the body, 
abdomen and legs, is sordid ochreous yellow. 
Tegmina ochraceous hyaline, with pale yellow neuration. At the risk of unduly
