multiplying species, I figure the above, which does not appear to agree with any 
insect described. It may prove to be allied to C. proximo, of Fairmaire. 
Size, G x 3 mm. 
Habitat. —Amazons. 
Genus: POPPEA. 
St&l. Ofv. Kongl. Yet. Ak. Fork. XXIV. p. 551. 
This genus is allied to Cyphonia, both in the form of the front pronotal horns 
and in the neuration of the tegmina. The back part of the pronotum is expanded 
into a crescent-shaped process, which develops backward into three stout spines; as 
a rule, the middle spine is the longest. 
There is no small dorsal spine as occurs in Cyphonia. 
The species seems to be scarce, and are chiefly the inhabitants of Brazil or Central 
America. 
See Fowler, B.C.A., p. 97, who describes nine species and figures seven. 
Hirsuteness is a characteristic of this genus, tufts of fine hair occurring over all 
the pronotum, but it does not constitute a pilose coat. Like the Irishman’s pig 
whilst undergoing shearing, there may be much cry, yet but little wool! 
POPPEA SETOSA. 
(Plate XXXIY. figs. 2, 2a, 2b.) 
Fowler, l.c. Tab. VII. figs. 3, 3a-3c, p. 97. 
Small, shining amber-yellow or brown. The pronotum hirsute with two dorsal 
prominences or humps, the posterior ending in three spines, the longest not reaching 
to the tips of the tegmina. Abdomen and legs ochreous, the last furnished with 
black spots at the junction of the tibia. Tegmina very shining, the membrane between 
the nervures being concave and reflecting the light; suprahumerals rather short. 
The insects in the British Museum labelled Cyphonia hirta should be referred to 
Poppea setosa. 
Size, 5x3 mm. 
Habitat. —Teapa, Tabasco.

(Plate XXXIY. figs. 3, 3a, 3b.) 
Fowl. l.c. p. 99, Tab. VII. figs. G, Ga, Gb. 
Bufous, variegated with brown; tips of the suprahumerals black and stout, 
hirsute; the three-spined hind part of the pronotum shining black, with the lateral
