These appear to be the first exact records published since the 



original description of the species. One of the Santa Catharina 



females is smaller than the other individuals of this exceptionally 



large species.

We have not been able to examine the original description of this 

 species, volume ten of the "St. Petersburg Memoirs" being lacking 

 in our set of that pubhcation. However, the specimens before us 

 accord with the interpretation of the species presented by Serville 

 and Brunner, and have the cephahc margin of the pronotum lined 

 with fuscous and the costal margin of the tegmina without any con- 

 trasted pale edging. The specimens previously recorded by us as 

 this species, from Yaguarasapa, Paraguay^ and Misiones, Argentina,^ 

 together wdth two other males now^ before us from Puerto Cantera 

 (X, 1913; C. Schrottky) and Alto Parana (II, 1914; C. Schrottky), 

 Paraguay, belong to the form called siinilis by Serville. This has 

 the cephalic margin of the pronotum deep ochraceous-orange and
