This series gives more information regarding the distribution of 

 this typically Argentine species than all we previously possessed. 

 In the present series are all of the extreme points of the range of the 

 species, this being from the Misiones, Corrientes and San Juan, 

 south to Buenos Aires and west to the Cordillera de Mendoza.

1906. Stirapleura bruneri Rehn, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1906, p. 49. 

 ["Argentina from the Pampa Central, extending into Uruguay to the 



eastward."] 



Misiones. December 14, 1910. Two males. 



Buenos Aires. May 3, 1907. One male, five females. 



This series is found to be identical with specimens from Carcarana, 

 Argentina, which we select as the type locality of the species.^^ 



The females all have greenish more or less the predominating 

 color, all of the males having their patterns in browns and ochres 

 without any indication of green. In extreme greenish specimens 

 from Buenos Aires, this color is that of all the light areas of the 

 sides and dorsum, while in the other extreme of that phase the only 

 decidedly green sections are the face, gense and humeral streak of the 

 tegmina. 



What is probably this species was recorded by Berg^^ ^s Steno- 

 bothrus signatipeyinis (Blanchard) from Cerro Blanco, Nueva Roma, 

 and the Naran-Choyque, southwestern Buenos Aires. The same 



^1 The name bruneri was given to replace S. signatipennis Bruner, 1900 (not of 

 Blanchard, 1851), the distribution of which, given above, was all that was cited 

 by Bruner for the species. We possess two pairs determined by him, from 

 ■Carcarana, and we here designate this place as the type locaht3^
