Coloration practical] V destroyed, as almost all the material has been im- 
mersed in a h'quid preservative. The only e^•ident things are the features of 
fuscous coloration, which are chstdbuted as foUows: points at the median and 
(not always) the caudo-lateral impressions of the pronotal disk; as a wash for 
a short distance distad of the three proximal antennal joints, this vanung in 
depth and sohdarity; as five spots on the dorsal surface of the caudal' tibiae 
one pro^ad, the others roughly between pairs of spines; occasionally a wash- 
ing on the caudal tarsi; as numerous scattered points on the dorsal field of the 
tegmina of the male, these points larger in the general %-icinitv of the ends of 
the anal node, at the base of the anal vein and about the suppl'ementaiw node 
most numerous and thickly dispersed along the distal margin of the '=p^ulum* 
and as a cloud (in intensive individuals only; crossing the distal area of the 
s^e field. It would also seem that the mediastine rami and the veins of the 
distal area are, in undamaged specimens, thicklv ticked with fuscous In the 
m^e the humeral angle, the anal node, anal vein and the supplemental^ 
node are strongly opaque yellow. In the female the 'vicinitv of the humeri

field has the veins tinted with yeUowish and all the veins of both fields are

In addition to the type and allotj-pe, we have before us four 
paratypic males from In depen den cia, bearing the same date as 
the type and allotype, and another male from Bonito, Pernam- 
buco, Brazil (January 27, 1883: A. Koebele: on cotton), the 
latter from the U. S. National Museum collection. All of the 
Independencia specimens have been immersed in a preserving 
fluid, while the Bonito representative is badly damaged, ha\-ing 
no caudal and but a single cephahc hmb. and the tegmina partly 
destroyed. In size the males are quite uniform. The oblique 
veins of the male tegmina vary in number from three (in the type 
alone) to sLx (in one parat>-pe), the ones additional to those de- 
scribed in the type all being small, arcuate and placed pro.ximad 
of the first one discussed in the above description. The number 
of rami of the media-stine vein in the males sex varies from four- 
teen to eighteen, of the free veins of the marginal field from two 
to four. The number of major spines on the dorsal margins of 
the caudal tibiae, and of the spinulations on the caudal metatarsi,
