males have been immersed in a liquid preservative, and in con- 

 sequence their coloration is practically gone. 



The species has been recorded from a number of Brazilian 

 localities. 



Leptysma filiformis (Serville) 



1839. Opsomala fdiformis Serville, Hist. Nat. Ins., Orth., p. 593. [The North 

 of the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil.] 



Ceara, Ceara. (W. M. Mann.) One male. 



Independencia, Parahyba. (Mann and Heath.) Three 

 males, one female. 



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

 The Ceara and Independencia specimens show some features 

 of difference from the Para and other determined individuals, 

 particularly in the male sex, but there is so much individual vari- 

 ation in this genus in certain features, as the form of the fastig- 

 ium, we wish to defer any detailed comment until larger series 

 than those now in hand are available. The identification should 

 be considered provisional. 



Stenacris cylindrodes (Stal) 



1860. Opsomala cylindrodes St&I, Kong. Svenska Freg. Eugenies Resa, Ins., 

 p. 325. [Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.] 



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



Oxyblepta xanthochlora (Marschall) 



1835. Gnjllus xanthochlorus Marschall, Ann. Wiener Mus., i, p. 215, pi. XM^II, 

 fig. 7. [Brazil.] 



Para, Para. (C. F. Baker.) Two females. 

 These specimens are only provisionally referred to this species, 

 as the northern South American forms of this genus are very 

 poorly understood. 



Cornops longicorne (Bruner) 



1911. Paracornops longicorne Bruner, Ann. Carneg. Mus., viii, p. 82. [Pard, 

 Brazil.] 



Para, Para. (C. F. Baker.) Two males, one female. 

 We have been fortunate enough to have for comparison, in 

 connection with this species, two very interesting specimens; 

 one, the type of Scudder's Cornops hivittatum, and the other a 

 topotype (Surinam) of DeGeer's longipenne; belonging to species 

 both of which have perplexed students for some time. Unfor- 

 tunately the decisions most favored in the past have been errone-
