MEMBRA CIDJE.

three species in his list comprised in the British Museum Collection. The undue 
multiplication of species is very confusing, and it is probable that some on his list 
will be found not to stand. 
My figure is one from a series in the Fowler Collection. 
Size 10 x 4 mm. 
Habitat. —Volcan de Chiriqui to 4000 feet, Panama. 
CERESA MINOR (var. vitulus ?) 
(Plate XXXV. fig S . g, 6a.) 
Fowl. l.c. p. 103. 
Ceresa minor is a very variable species, and the above small form appears to be 
common in many localities, such as North Yucatan, Teapa in Mexico, Cachabon (sic), 
and Vera Paz. 
Its colour is uniformly ochreous or ochreous brown, shining, with the pronotum 
smooth and arched at the back, and slightly dappled with pale spots ; the tegmina 
rather short, but longer than the pronotal apex. 
If regarded as a variety of C. vitulus, the synonyms given under that species may 
be consulted. 
Size, 7x3 mm. 
Habitat. —Central America, Mexico; Tabasco, North Yatacan. 
CERESA DUBIA. 
(Plate XXXV. fig. 7.) 
Fowl, variabilis, C. intermedia ? l.c. p. 105. 
Variable in colour and in the distinctness of the punctuation ; ochreous orange, 
brownish red, or greyish ochreous ; very shining ; a distinct pale carina from the 
eye to the dorsal ridge, and with a whitish lower marginal edge ; tegmina talc-like 
with inconspicuous yellowish nervures ; legs ochreous. 
This is a difficult species to certify, and it may prove to be one of the many forms 
of Ceresa, the varieties of Fowler, or of C. rubescens of Butler. There is a specimen 
marked C. dubia in the Fowler Collection, and I figure it amongst several others 
I have, and which are very like it. 
Size, 7x3 mm. 
Habitat. —Teapa, Tabasco. 
CERESA VITULUS, Amyot et Seiv.
