Conchaspis newsteadi Ckll. (sp. n.) VeraCruz (VeraCruz). 
On frangipanni, Feb. 26, 1896. Coll. Towns. 
Peculiar to Mexico. “Surprising discovery! Three species of 
the genus are now known ; angrceci in Jamaica on an orchid (Hope 
Gardens), with the variety hibisci collected by Townsend in Tampico; 
another not yet published, found by Green in Ceylon; and now the 
third, this one found by Townsend in Vera Cruz. What the native 
country of the genus is, I know not. It may be oriental. I called this 
species after Mr. Newstead because he gave a very good illustrated ac¬ 
count of the genus (as Pseudinglisia ) only a few months after I pub¬ 
lished it.” (Ckll.)
