As far as known the species has been taken only at the two widely 

 separated localities given above. 

 Gryllus assimilis (Fabricius). 



1775. [Achela] assimilis Fabricius, Syst. Entom., p. 280. [Jamaica.] 



Para. (C. F. Baker.) One male, one female. 



Peixe-boi, east of Para. November to December, 1907. 



(H. B. Merrill.) One male, one female. 



Igarape-assu. Two females. 



The Para and Igarape-assu specimens have been recorded bj^ 

 Rehn and Hebard in a critical study of Gryllus as found in America. ^^ 

 The Peixe-boi pair would be represented by the following symbols, 

 as previously established by us: cf , AVauOl; 9 , AVbu02. 



Oecanthinae. 



Lerneca varipes Walker. 



1869. Lerneca varipes Walker, Catal. Spec. Derm. Salt. Brit. Mus., I, p. 72. 

 [Amazon Region.] 



Igarape-assu. One female. 



This specimen is inseparable from individuals of both sexes of 

 this species from Caparo, Trinidad, comments on which will be 

 published at a later date. 



Trigonidiinse. 



Anaxipha*^ esau n. sp. (PI. II, figs. 54, 55.) 



Apparently a relative of ^. tibialis (Saussure), but strongly marked 

 off from any other species, studied or known to us, in the presence of 

 short, curved hairs placed along the veins of the tegmina and also 

 regularly over the intervening areas, the exposed portion of the wings, 

 the body and the limbs being more decidedly haired than usual. 

 From tibialis the present species also differs in the shorter and more 

 robust cephalic tibiae, the shorter caudal metatarsi, in the reduction 

 of the cross-veins in the dorsal field of the female tegmina, in the dis- 

 tinct sculpturing of the main veins of the same and in the more robust 

 general form. 



Type: 9 ; Igarape-assii, State of Para, Brazil. February 1, 1912. 

 (H. S. Parish.) [Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., Type no. 5342.] 



Size small: form elongate, slender, subcylindrical, wings caudate: 

 surface closely and relatively heavily haired, on the tegmina the hairs
