the type, with the fastigium relatively shorter, but it is clearly the 

 same species as the described individual. The number of spines on 

 the ventro-external margin of the caudal femora is two to five in the 

 paratype.

 Three females. [U. S. N. M.] 



These specimens have lost all of their original coloration, from 

 liquid immersion, but they are inseparable from well preserved 

 specimens from other localities.

Chapada, State of Matto Grosso. IVTay and June. (H. H. 

 Smith). Four females. [U. S. N. M.] 



These individuals have been compared with specimens from 

 Sapucay, Paraguay. Two of the series are in the brownish phase 

 of coloration, with the costal margin of the tegmina finely lined with 

 fuscous, while the others are in the greenish phase, with the tegmina 

 not lined. The degree of completeness of the blackish marking on 

 the venter of the fastigium varies appreciably. 



We have every reason to believe that Bruner's Neoconocephalus 

 longifossor, described from Chapada, ^^, is identical with this species.

^^ Scudder's Conocephalus clausus (Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., XX, p 94, 

 (1878)), from Jalisco (in error, Jalasco), Mexico, we find, on examination of the 

 unique tj^pe, to be a Biicrates. It differs from capitatus in the more compressed 

 form, more elevated fastigium, shorter lateral lobes of the pronotum, the greatly 



^elongate tegmina, while the ovipositor is shorter, decurved in distal half and 

 there quite broad, distinctly broader than proximad. A number of other fea- 

 tures of difference in clausus, such as more prominent eyes, less deeply emargin- 



•ate subgenital plate, more deeply impressed transverse sulcus of the pronotum, 

 different areolation of the marginal field of the tegmina, etc., are also present. 



"The species has the caudal tibiae strongly expanded laterad. I\o close affinity to 

 Parabucrates is noticed, while it has no affinitj' with Homorocoryphus, or the 



.-species H. laticeps, as suggested by Karny (Gen. Insect. Orth., Copiphorinae
