ATYMNA LINEATA. 
(Plate XLII. fig. 6.) 
Dr. Aurivillius forwarded to me a type specimen of Atymna, but without any 
specific name attached. It differs from A. castanece in not showing the smoky band 
on the tegmina, and in having on the concolorus yellow pronotum a fine but marked 
black streak, proceeding from the metopidium along the dorsal ridge to the posterior 
apex. The tegmina are clear hyaline yellow, with a delicate neuration, showing four 
apical areas. 
It is doubtful whether Atymna should be separated from Cyrtolobus. The insect 
above described may be compared with Plate XLI. fig. 8. If colour be neglected, 
there is mudi similarity of form to be noted between these species. 
Expanse, 16 x 2 mm. 
Habitat . —Belfrage, New Jersey, North America. 
STICTOCEPHALA LUTEA, Stal. 
(Plate XLII. fig. 7.) 
Under the specific name Stictocephala semibrunnea, I have described an insect 
very like S. lutea as now figured from one of Stal’s types. As there noted, the 
marked differences of the two genera Ceresa and Stictocephala lies in the short and 
squarish termination of the pygofer of the male of Stictocephala. I could not 
dissect the specimen from the Stockholm Museum, but the different form of the 
abdominal segment may be seen through the transparent tegmina. 
Plate XXXYI. fig. 6 may be used for the purposes of comparison. 
Size, 7 x 4 mm. 
Habitat. —Belfrage, New Jersey. 
STICTOCEPHALA NERVOSA, n.s. 
(Plate XLII. fig. 8.) 
With hesitation I figure an insect from the Wollaston Collection as pertaining, 
perhaps, to Stictocephala. The straight margin to the pronotum and the broad 
neuration of the tegmina, seems to indicate a specific difference. 
The pronotum is coarsely punctured, and has a brown apex with a fuscous patch 
above the unarmed shoulders. Legs are yellow, with a fuscous streak on the fore 
femora. 
Habitat .—New York. 
The genus Ophiderma of Fairmaire is marked by a convex broad dorsum.
