THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 405 



Locality. — Bolivia. 



Described from three females and two males. The males are 

 neither smaller nor darker than the females. 



Subfamily HOPLOPHORINM. 



9. Aconophoroides rectispina, sp. now (Fig. 9). 



This species suggests at once an Aconophora, but the very 

 short hind tarsi removes it from the subfamily to which that genus 

 belongs. It may be recognized by the erect pronotal process, 

 black with yellow tip. The four apical cells of the hind wing 

 are characteristic of the genus. 



Yellow, deeply and coarsely punctured with black; pronotal 

 horn straight and nearly upright, black, tip yellow. Head rough, 

 striated, wider than long; clypeus short, inflexed, with median 

 translucent ridge; ocelli transparent, nearer to each other than to 

 the eyes, a black spot under each; eyes prominent and brown. 

 Pronotum coarsely punctured, not pubescent; dorsal horn project- 

 ing upward and slightly forward, anterior and posterior margins 

 flattened, black, except at tip, which is smooth and yellow; 

 humeral angles obtusely prominent; posterior process long, narrow, 

 lightly punctured, slightly pilose, extending far beyond abdomen 

 and almost reaching tips of tegmina. Tegmina yellow, subhyaline, 

 much wrinkled between veins; veins brownish and slightly raised. 

 Legs and under surface of the body ferruginous. First and second 

 pairs of tarsi very long and black; hind tarsi short and yellow. 



Type. — Female. 



Length 10 mm.; width 4.8 mm. 



Locality. — Bolivia. 



10. Aconophoroides projecta, sp. nov. (Fig. 10). 

 Superficially recalling a large Aconophora, but, like the pre- 

 ceding species, easily distinguished by the very short posterior 

 tarsi and the four apical areas of the hind wings. 



Uniform ferruginous brown; pronotal horn short, sharp and 

 projecting forward; thickly covered witn more or less obsolete 

 longitudinal carinae and densely punctate. Head much wider than 

 long, rough and sculptured; clypeus short and reflexed, sparingly 

 pilose; ocelli brown, equidistant from each other and from the
