Igarape-assii. January 19, 1912. Two males, one female. 



Kirby^o, who examined Pascoe's type, considers Saussure and 

 Zehntner's paraensis to be the same as eximia. 



The male has not been previously described. In that sex the 

 general form of the head is similar to that found in the female, but 

 the occipital line is weakly concave and the facial scutellum is 

 slightly shallower, though of exactly the same general pattern. 

 The pronotum is of similar form to that of the female but, naturally, 

 slightly more slender. The tegmina are entirely hyaline except the 

 marginal field and the vicinity of the humeral trunk, which are 

 opaque green. The wings are hyaline with the costal margin rather 

 narrowly washed with pomegranate purple, a longitudinal blotch 

 placed on the caudal two-thirds of the radiate field at about tw^o- 

 fifths the length of the wing from the internal margin, bone brown 

 in color. One of the Igarape-assu males measures as follows: length 

 of body, 19.8 mm.; length of pronotum, 4.4; greatest width of prono- 

 tum, 2.2; length of tegmen, 14; length of cephalic femur, 5.2. 



All the known records of the species are from the state of Para, 

 Brazil.

Igarape-assii. One male. 



This specimen has been compared with a male of the species from 

 Bartica, British Guiana (11-27-1913; H. S. Parish) and agrees in 

 all respects except two. The folded carination of the disto-dorsal 

 abdominal segments is well indicated in the Bartica specimen and 

 not apparent in that from Igarape-assii. The Bartica specimen is 

 more intensely colored, having the yellow areas between the purplish 

 bars on the wings brighter, but the general weak infuscation of the 

 wings is more extensive in the Brazilian specimen and the distal 

 ferruginous patch on the anterior field of the same is more decided 

 in this individual. 



Apparently this is the first Brazilian record of the species. 

 Macromantis ovalifolia (StoU).

Igarape-assii. One male. 



This specimen has the marginal field of the tegmina hyaline in 

 the proximal two-fifths and viridi-coriaceous distad. Apparently
