Four specimens, two of each sex, from Carcaraiia, Argentina, de- 

 termined as this species by Bruner, I am unable to separate from 

 my series of 'punctata, which includes material determined as that 

 species by Bruner. Individuals of the latter from Nicaragua, Costa 

 Rica and British Guiana resemble the Carcaraiia specimens very closely. 



Orphulella intricata (Stil). 



1873. T[ruxalis\ intricata Stal, Recensio Orthopteromm, I, p. lOG. [Buenos 

 Ayres.] 



Two specimens, c? and 9 , one from Cordoba, the other from Car- 

 caraiia, Argentina, determined as this species by Bruner, are avail- 

 able for study. I am of the opinion that this species will prove to be 

 merely a phase of the very variable 0. punctata. 



Orphulella mexicana (Saussure). 



1861. Ox[ycoryphus] mexicanus Saussure, Revue et Magasin de Zoologie, 

 2e ser., XIII, p. 314. [Mexico.] 



Jalapa, Vera Cruz, Mexico. August. 2 9 9. (0. W. Barrett, 

 A. N. S. P.) Coatepec, Mexico. August. 1 9 . (Barrett, A. N. S. 

 P.) Texolo, Mexico. March 13, 1899. 5 d'c?. (S. N. Rhoads, 

 A. N. S. P.) 



The above records, with the Jalapa record given by Bruner in the 

 Biologia,^ constitute the sum of our knowledge of this species; It 

 appears to be restricted in its range, as suggested by Bruner, and the 

 taking of five specimens in one day shows it can hardly be called rare. 

 The species is apparently confined to the country on the lower eastern 

 slope of the Cofre de Perote. The compressed form of this insect will 

 readily separate it from allied species. The compression of the male 

 abdomen with its appendages is quite pronounced. 

 Orphulella tepaneca (Saussure). 



1861. St[enoboth]r[us] tepanecus Saussure, Revue et Magasin de Zoologie, 

 2e ser., XIII, p. 319. [Mexico.] 



Orizaba, Vera Cruz, Mexico. July 14, 1891. 1 d", 1 9. (W. S. 

 Blatchley, A. X. S. P.) 



This pair was received from Blatchley labelled ' ' Orphulella zapoteca, ' ' 

 but they are clearly not that species and answer Saussm^e's description 

 of tepanecus very well. This species would appear to be limited in 

 range to the vicinity of Orizaba, Bruner having also recorded it from 

 there. 



Orphulella meridionalis Bruner. 



San Marcos, Nicaragua. 1 c?. (C. F. Baker, A. N. S. P.) Chinan- 

 dega, Nicaragua. 16". (C. F. Baker, A. N. S. P.)
