BRAZILIAN ORTHOPTERA 
The specimen from Misiones, Argentina, previously recorded 
by us as this species with a query, is different, representing 
instead Neoconocephalus flavirostris (Redtenbacher), described 
from Sao Paulo, Brazil^'* As a matter of fact the genera Caulop- 
sis and Neoconocephalus approach dangerously close to one 
another, their differences being solely in degree, and flavirostris 
is not far removed from gracilis. Without material of the geno- 
type of Neoconocephalus (N. siibulatus), we do not care to express 
ourselves further on the features separating the two genera, but 
we hope to be able to make the desired comparison some time 
in the future.

Pard,, Pard. (Thayer Exped.) One male. [M. C. Z.] 
Porto ^’elho, Rio Aladeira. (Mann and Baker.) Four females. 
Rio Pacaya, Peru. August, 1912. One male. [A. N. S. P]. 
Two of the above females have retained their natural colora- 
tion, one greenish, the other brownish. There is some little 
variation in the exact attenuation of the distal extremity of the 
fastigium, but this is no greater than that found in most of the 
species of the group with produced fastigii. 
We have not used monoceros of Stoll for this species, as done by 
Kirby, as we are uncertain of its application. From the figure it, 
with even more propriety, might be considered a Copiphora. 
The present species has not been placed with certainty by any 
recent students of this group, but that it is closely related to 
suhulatus (Bolivar) is evident. The only known record, aside 
from the type locality and those given above, is Santarem, Brazil 
(Walker).
