270 BRAZILIAN ORTHOPTERA 



Scaria hamata (DeGeer) 



1773. Acrydium hamaium DeGeer, Mem. Hist. Ins., iii, p. 503, pi. 42, fig. 13. 

 [Surinam.] 



Peixe Boi, east of Pard, Para. November to December, 



1907. (H. B. Merrill.) One female. 

 Manaos, Amazonas. (Mami and Baker.) One female. 

 The Manaos specimen fully agrees with Trinidad material of 

 the species, and although the tones of the coloration have been 

 affected by spirit immersion the pattern is clearly evident. The 

 Peixe Boi female shows some features of difference from the 

 other specimens, but provisionally at least we prefer to refer the 

 specimen to hamata. 



Scaria lineata Bolivar 



1887. S[caria] lineata Bolivar, Ann. Soc. Entom. Belg., xxxi, p. 302. [Upper 

 Amazon.] 



Para, Para. (C. F. Baker.) One male. 

 This specimen does not show the median pale line on the pro- 

 notum originally described, but the median carina is beaded with 

 pale. As the Para individual fully agrees with the original 

 description in all the other characters, we feel that the intensity 

 or continuity of this line may be an individual feature. 



Paurotarsus amazonus Hancock 



1900. Paurotarsus ajiiazonus Hancock, Psyche, ix, p. 42, figs, la to le. [Man- 

 aos, Brazil.] 



Para, Pard. (C. F. Baker.) One female. 

 Manaos, Amazonas. (Mann and Baker.) One male. 

 These specimens are perfectly typical of this very interesting 

 species, which Bruner has also recorded from Para and Santarem. 

 From this and other material it is evident that the species is 

 dimorphic in wing and pronotal length, the male of the present 

 lot being of the caudate type, the female of the abbreviate form, 

 while other females known to us are of the caudate type. As the 

 dimensions of the female sex were previously unknown, the 

 measurements of both individuals are given.
