MEMBRA CIDJE.

with dark ashy membranes, and with paler nervures ; legs bright ochreous ; the hind 
pair longest, clothed with yellow pubescence; the hind tarsi are the longest; all the 
sulci between the carinse are deeply pitted or punctured. 
This insect has much resemblance to P. bogotensis, and might prove to be the 
female, but I could not settle the sex with the material before me. 
The habitats range from Para (Amazons), British Honduras,Costa Rica, Guatemala, 
and through Mexico. My figure is from a specimen in the B M. Collection 
as named above. 
Size, 14x4 mm., but the size is not constant. 
POLYGLYPTA PALLIPES, Burm. 
(Plate XXXVIII. fig. 6.) 
Fairm. l.c. p. 298. 
Uniformly dark brown or black, without any ornamentation by spots; pronotum 
greyish, with obscure carinations. Fairmaire counts nine of these ribs. Teginina 
more ferruginous in tint; legs pale ochreous. 
Fowler says the size of P. pallipes is very variable, and he considers the insect as 
the male of P. dorsalis, as above described. As it is at present considered in our 
National Collection to be specific, I figure a specimen, the sex of which I could not 
determine. This species has somewhat the appearance of a small black oat. 
Habitat. —Mexico. 
POLYGLYPTA COSTATA, Burm. Fairm. 
(Plate XXXVIII. fig. 7.) 
Polyglypta hogotensis, Fairm. P. nigriventns, Fairm. l.c. p. 297. P. straminea, Walk. l.c. p. 544. 
P. pilosa, Fairm. p. 29(5. P. viridi inaculata, Fairm. l.c. 298. P. interrupta, Walk. p. 545. P. strigata , 
Walk. p. 136, Suppt. P. rejiexa, Butl. t. 3, fig. 2. P. godmani, Dist. Ent. Mon. Mag. xvi. p. 11. 
The above synonyms are marked in the B.C. A. as sexual forms of P. cost at a. 
Those named after P. pilosa inclusive, are considered as males of P. cosfata. 
Linear, rather longer than P. dorsalis ; colour bright ochreous, with one central 
and three to four parallel ribs or carinee on each side; the hollows punctured with 
brown; the usual characteristic ocellated marks are feebly represented by brown 
dashes in the carinae; tegmina almost entirely covered by the pronotum, the anterior 
or end of which is slightly recurved; legs slender, pale, and hirsute. 
Size, 17 x 4 mm. 
Habitat. —Oojaca, Mexico. 
Polyglypta godmani is figured by W. L. Distant in the Ent. Mon. Mag. xvi. 
p. 11 (1879) with the habitat, Costa Rica. Trazu, 6000 to 7000 feet elevation.
