more closely placed proximad, becoming more distant distad. The 

 females previously recorded by us as this species from Sapucay, 

 Paraguay,^' we find instead represent the previously unknown fe- 

 male of cerviformis Rehn.''^ The female of cerviformis is a larger 

 insect than brasiliensis, with a broader head as in the male, more 

 elongate tegmina, shorter, more regularly tapering and less attenuate 

 cerci, and much longer, more regularly arcuate ovipositor, which 

 latter has the apex acute and the margins with fewer well-spaced 

 teeth, which distad on the ventral margin are recurved. The sur- 

 face of the ovipositor in cerviformis is less shagreenous than in hrasili- 

 ensis. The selected allotype of cerviformis measures as follows: 

 length of body (exclusive of ovipositor), 23.4 mm.; length of pro- 

 notum, 4.4; length of tegmen, 29.2; length of wing distad of tegmen, 

 7.5; length of caudal femur, 23.5; length of ovipositor, 9.

 These specimens are both in the green phase and subequal in size 

 to females from the province of Mendoza, Argentina, and appreci- 

 ably smaller than Sapucay, Paraguay representatives of the same sex. 

 The species is now known to range from Peru east to Goyaz, 

 Brazil, south to the Province of Mendoza, Corrientes and the terri- 

 tory of Misiones, Argentina.

 This specimen fully agrees with the description of this very inter-

'3 A revision of our previous records of H. major Brunner, and a careful examin- 

 ation of the few points given by Bruner for the separation of H. major and H. 

 peruviana have convinced us that we have examined but a single specimen of 

 the former species. This is the female from Embarcacion, Salta, Argentina, 

 recorded by us as a member of the Argentina series of major (Proc. Acad. Nat. 

 Sci. Phila., 1913, p. 360, (1913)). The remainder of the series there recorded, 

 the series from Sapucay, Paraguay {Ibid., 1907, p. 373, fig. 3, (1907)) and the male 

 from Yuto, Argentina {Ibid., 1915, p. 287, (1915)), all recorded as major, are 

 instead peruviana as we now understand it. It is possible true peruviana may 

 be different but these specimens are in accord with the very insufficient original 

 description. Peruviana as we understand it is a more elongate, more uniformly 

 narrower winged species than major, with more elongate limbs.
