Misiones. December 12, 1909. One female. 



This specimen is referred to the present species with some doubt, 

 as it is considerably smaller than the measurements of the same sex 

 given by Redtenbacher. The dimensions of our individual are as 

 follows: length of body, 38.5 mm.; length of f astigium, 6 ; length of 

 pronotum, 8.9; length of tegmen, 43.5; length of median femur, 

 7.7; length of caudal femur, 19.5; length of ovipositor, 20.5. Aside 

 from the differences in measurements and the hardly carinate instead 

 of "obtusely" carinate venter of the fastigium, our specimen agrees 

 with the original description.
