Grammadera rostrata Rehn. 



1907. Grammadern rostrata Rehn, Prof>. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1907, p. 

 378, figs. 10 and 11. [Sapucay, Paraguay.] 



Corumba, State of Matto Grosso. March. (H. H. Smith; low- 

 land.) One female. [U. S. N. M.] 



This specimen has been compared with the type and found to be 

 inseparable. The size is very faintly smaller, and the ovipositor is 

 faintly more arcuate proximad on the ventral margin, but otherwise 

 the two are identical. 



Corumba and Sapucay are the only localities known for the species. 



Grammadera chapadensis Bruner. 



1915. Grammadera cha-padensis Bruner, Ann. Carneg. Mus., IX, p. 321. 

 [Chapada, Matto Gros.so, Brazil.] 



Chapada, State of Matto Grosso. November. (H. H. Smith.) 

 Two males, two females. [U. S. N. M.] 



Goyaz, State of Goyaz. Four females. [Hebard Cln.] 



These specimens fully agree with the description of cha-padensis, 

 which is certainly close to albida Brunner. Just how it differs 

 from the older species is not at all clear, as the form of the supra-anal 

 plate of the male, which is said in the original description of chapa- 

 densis to be the chief characteristic of the species, shows no differ- 

 ences which would not be covered by Brunner's brief description of 

 this area in albida. 



The material from Sapucay, Paraguay and Misiones, Argentina 

 which we had previously referred to albida,*^ we now know does not 

 belong to that species, but instead represents G. steinbachi Brunerj^^* 

 a species which at the time of our references was undescribed. In 

 consequence we do not know albida Brunner, to which, however, 

 chapadensis is very close. 



The localities given above are the only ones known for the species. 



Phylloptera^' quinque-maculata Bruner. 



1915. Phylloptera quinque-maculata. Bruner, Ann. Carneg. Mus., IX, p. 325. 

 [Chapada, Matto Grosso, Brazil.] 



Chapada, State of Matto Grosso. July and October. (H. H. 

 Smith; campo [October].) Two males, one female. [U. S. N. M.] 



These specimens are perfectly typical of Bruner 's species. One 

 male is more brownish than the other individuals, while in all the 

 dorso-caudal section of the pronotal disk is strongl}^ colored.
