Feia, Tocos; Bruner) and Corumba, Matto Grosso (Giglio-Tos)

this species by Bedtenbacher and Brunner is, apparently erron-

Porto Velho, Hio Madeira. (Mann and Baker.) One female, 
e have been able to compare this specimen with the unique 
type ( 9 ) of the species in the Scudder Collection at the iMuseum 
of Comparative Zoology. The two are inseparable except for 
the much greater depth, in the type, of the infuscation of the 
ventral surfaces of all the femora. The type has shrivelled 
somewhat from drying after liquid immersion, but otherwise the 
specific features are clear. The dorsal surface of the base of the 
abdomen, the left tegmen ami wing being spread, has been 
damaged by insect pests. 
IMeasurements (in millimeters) of the two specimens are as
