This genus seems to be represented throughout a large portion of Tropical America 

 by a single species, which has been described at least twice.

An examination and comparison of specimens from various localities indicate that 

 they all belong to a single species that varies somewhat in colour and size. Both 

 sexes are represented in the material studied. The sexual difference in size is very 

 marked, the female being fully twice as large as the male.

 Munatia, Stal, Obs. Orthopt. i. p. 28 (1875) ; Syst. Acrid, p. 15 (1878). 



Like the preceding, the present genus belongs strictly to the tropics of America, 

 where it is represented by two or more species. Only one of them seems to reach the 

 region under investigation.

The above references without doubt all belong to a single species. Two other 

 forms (or a very variable single species) of the genus occur in Paraguay and Southern 

 Brazil. These insects are to be found among the vines and other herbage that unite
