ANTIANTHE IIUMILIS. 
(Plate XLI. figs. 4, 4a, 4b.) 
This insect is very similar to A. viridissima, but it is much smaller. It occurs 
rather commonly at Temax in Yucatan, but it may prove to be only a variety of 
A. viridissima. 
ANTIANTHE FOLIACEA, St&l. 
(Plate XLI. figs. 5, 5a.) 
Janthe foliacea, Still, l.c. p. 554. Fowl. l.c. p. 138. 
A large brown species, with a rounded pronotum ; the fore margin above the 
vertex is curiously excavated; some specimens have a large brown patch covering 
the fore portion ; the surface is much sculptured and marked with punctuations. 
Size, 10 x 8 mm. 
Habitat .—Costa Rica, Guatemala, Vera Paz. 
ANTIANTHE COMPRESSA, n.s. 
(Plate XLI. figs. 6, Oa.) 
Rather large, pale sordid ochreous, finely punctured with warm brown; dorsal 
ridge of the pronotum slightly convex, until it approaches the apex, where it is 
suddenly depressed; there is a dull white transverse spot across the sharp carina, 
and dark brown blotches and mottlings on the sides, which are compressed ; tegmina 
smoky hyaline, with faint fuscous veinings; there are no suprahumeral horns. 
Size, 11x7 mm. 
Habitat .—New York.

ANTIANTHE VIRIDISSIMA, Walk. 
(Plate XLI. fig. 7.) 
Thelici viridissima, Walk. l.c. Suppt. p. 138. T. reversa, Walk. l.c. p. 72. Fowler, l.c. p. 138. 
The pronotum is not so much elevated over the shoulders as in A. expansa. In 
figure it more nearly approaches A. humilis. The colour is variable, but in recent 
examples it is strongly greenish, and these often appear with a natural varnish ; 
such a surface might serve as a protection against the almost tropical rains of the 
districts which the insects inhabit. The tegmina also are shining and irridescent. 
Size, 8x6 mm. 
Habitat. —Columbia, Mexico City. 
Dr. F. W. Goding bases his classification of the sub-tribe (sic) Smiliinse, principally 
in the neuration of the clavus. The examination of this somewhat intricate feature
