Anaxipha smithi (Saussure). 



1897. Cyrtoxipha smithi Saussure, Biol. Cent.-Amer., Orth., I, p. 236. 

 [Teapa, Tabasco, Mexico.] 



Igarape-assii. One female. 



We have assigned this specimen to smithi without having seen 

 Mexican material of either sex, but it agrees with the description, 

 which was based on the male sex, in all features of any importance. 

 Actual comparison may show the Brazilian material to be distinct, 

 but at this time we know of no evidence requiring its separation. 

 The ovipositor is short and robust, much like in imitator, but the 

 form of the ovipositor is more robust, with a more decided angle 

 to the dorsal line in imitator, while the palpi are more slender and 

 the cephalic tibiae less robust in smithi, the coloration also being 

 different. 



Chopard^^ has reported this species from four localities in French 



Guiana. 



Anaxipha aptera (Chopard). 



1912. C[yrtoxipha] aptera Chopard, Ann. Soc. Entom. France, LXXXI, 

 p. 410, 4 figs. [Charvein, St. I.iaurent and Nouveau-Chantier, French 

 Guiana.] 



Para. (C. F. Baker.) One male. 



Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana. (K. Mayo.) One male. [A. N. S. P.] 



The wingless condition of the known material of this species may 



not be a specific character of the form, as ciuite a few species are 



known to be dimorphic in this respect. The Para individual has 



four reddish brown longitudinal lines on the vertex and occiput, 



the median pair continued on the interantennal protuberance. 



The Paramaribo specimen hias these absent, 



Anaxipha minuta (Linnaeus). 



1767. [Gryllus] minutus Linnseus, Syst. Nat., ed. XII, p. 694. ["America" 

 (Surinam according to DeGeer).] 



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



Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana. (K. Mayo.) Three females. 



There is so little in the literature to enable us to pin this name 

 down to a definite species, that we are under the necessity of using 

 it for an insect not disagreeing with the insufficient diagnosis, and 

 found in the region from which mimda was supposed to have come. 

 The Linnean material is probably not in existence, as Stal did not 

 feel that he had it before him, when preparing the Recensio, although 

 part of the basic material of DeGeer's testaceus, which is generalh' 

 considered synonymous with minuta, was in his hands. The present
