Oxyprora flavicornis Redtenbacher. 



1891. Oxyprora flavicornis Redtenbacher, Verhandl. k.-k. Zool.-botan. 

 Gesell. Wien, XLI, p. 360. [Bahia, Brazil.] 



Goyaz, State of Goyaz. One female. [Hebard Cln.] 



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

 Smith.) Three males, one female. [U. S. N. M.] 



One male is decidedly brownish, apparently indicating the pres- 

 ence of a brown phase in the species. 



Previous records were of its occurrence at Chapada, by Bruner,** 

 and Urucum, near Corumba, Matto Grosso, by Giglio-Tos." 



Caulopsis lancifera new species. (Plate XI, flgs. 34, 35, 36, 37 and 38.) 



Closely related to C. cuspidata Scudder, from Cuba, but differing 

 in the more compressed form, more elongate fastigium, which is also 

 deeper and faintly decurved distad, in the more retreating face, in 

 the much reduced stridulating field of the male tegmina, which has- 

 the tambourine hardly half the size of that found in cuspidata, in 

 the narrower and more acuminate tegmina, the more deeply divided 

 disto-dorsal abdominal segment of the male, the armament of the 

 male cerci and the more deeply emarginate subgenital plate. 



Type. — cf ; Corumba, Matto Grosso, Brazil. March. (H. H. 

 Smith; lowland.) [United States National Museum.] 



Size rather small: form very elongate: surface of head, pronotam,. 

 pleura and sterna cribroso-punctulate. Head with the greatest dor- 

 sal length (from apex of fastigium) nearly twice as great as the length 

 of the pronotal disk: dorsal line of occiput and fastigium in greater 

 part faintly and regularly ascending cephalad: fastigium with its 

 dorsal length subequal to the length of the occiput and inter-ocular- 

 region of vertex, lanceolate, faintly narrowed proximad, subequal 

 in width of remainder of proximo! half, then narrowing distad to 

 the strongly blunted apex; ventral line of fastigium, when seen from 

 the side, faintly concave; ventral surface non-carinate, but deeply 

 punctate, proximal tooth prominent, completely in contact with the 

 fastigium of the face; facial Une, when seen from the side, greatly 

 retreating, straight: eyes hardly prominent, ovate-orbicular in basal 

 outline: antennae at least two and one -half times as long as body. . 



Pronotum of the usual type for the genus, the greatest caudal width 

 of the pronotal disk contained nearly twice in the greatest length of 

 the same: cephalic margin of disk weakly arcuato-emarginate, cauda 

 margin of disk arcuato-truncate, lateral angles of disk distinct but 

 well rounded, except caudad, when they are sUghtly more decided 

 shoulders; transverse sulcus placed slightly cephalad of the cephalic
