Bonito, State of Pernambuco. February, 1883. (A. Koebele.) 

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



This specimen fully agrees with the description of the present 

 species. The only really noteworthy difference is that the caudal 

 tibiae have five spines on the external and six on the internal dorsal 

 margins, instead of 5:5 or 4:3 as described. 



This is, apparently, the first record of this magnificent species 

 since the original description. 



Aphonomorphus inopinatus new species. (Plate XI, flgs. 40, 41 and 42; text figure 2.) 



Apparently related to A. mulus (Saussure), from Guiana, from 

 which it differs chiefly in the caudal margin of the pronotum being 

 hardly angulate caudad, in the lateral lobes of the pronotum being 

 more longitudinal than quadrate, in the more numerous (six) spines 

 on the dorso-internal margin of the caudal tibiae, in the fewer (two) 

 spines on the dorso-external margin of the caudal metatarsi and in 

 the distal palpal joint not being black. 



Type. — 9 ; Bonito, State of Pernambuco, Brazil. January, 1883. 

 (A. Koebele.) [United States National Museum.] 



Size medium:'* form moderately elongate, slightly 

 depressed: surface of body and limbs rather sparsely 

 pilose, of tegmina microscopically adpressed pilose. 

 Head with its caudal width but faintly greater than 

 the cephahc width of the pronotum, when seen from 

 the cephahc aspect the greatest depth is slightly greater 

 than the width across eyes: occiput weakly declivent 

 cephalad : ocelli of medium size, placed in an arcuate fine; 

 median one transverse elliptical, weakly fossetted 

 cephalad, the interspaces between the median and 

 lateral ocelli slightly greater than the short dimension 

 of the median one; lateral ocelli sublongitudinal in 

 position, ovate, lai-ger than the median one, separated 

 from the eyes by a distance subequal to that between 

 the median and lateral ocelli: inter-antennal rostrum 

 I'ounded obtuse-angulate when seen in lateral outline, 

 mina of female its least width subequal to that of the proximal-antennal 

 \yy )■ \ ■) joint, dorsal section weakly fossetted : eyes but moder- 

 ately prominent, slightly directed cephalad, subreniform and narrow 

 ventro-cephalad in basal outline: palpi with the third joint relatively 

 heavy; fourth joint subequal in length to the third, slender proximad; 

 iifth joint elongate securiform, its length greater than the breadth of
