CuPiPES BRASiLiENSis (Humbert and Saussure). 



Cormocephalus brasiliensis Humbert et Saussure, Rev. mag. zool., 1870, ser. 2, 



22, p. 203; Saussure et Humbert, Etude Myr. 1872, p. 124, pi. 6, fig. 17. 

 Cupipes brasiliensis Brolemann, Cat. Myr. Bresil, 1909, p. 8. 



Locality. — Brazil. 



This species was regarded, doubtfully, as the same as C. ungulatis 

 Meinert by Meinert as well as by Kraepelin. But, as pointed out by 

 Brolemann, and as indicated in the key above, the presence of the 

 dorsal spines on the second joint of the anal legs seems clearly to 

 separate hrasiliensis from Meinert's species. At any rate, until the 

 Brazilian fauna is better known, or specimens of ungulatis are shown 

 to present the important variation mentioned, it would be quite 

 premature to ignore this characteristic. 



Cupipes spinifer Kraepelin.

Cupipes ungulatis mitis Brolemann. 

 Rev. Museu Paulista, 1903, 6, p. 65; Cat. Myr. Bresil, 1909, p. 9. 



Locality. — State of Amazonas: Manaos (type locality). 



This and the preceding form are known at present from too few 

 specimens to be able properly to judge of their precise relationship. 

 Considerable variation has already been noted in the spining of the 

 prefemur of C. ungulatis; and it may prove not possible to segregate 

 the forms on the basis of this character.
