before us the types of veteratoria, meridionalis and guatemalae, 
topotypes of gracilicornis and two males of azteca determined by 
Bruner after comparison with Saussure’s type. It is evident that 
the male of veteratoria ecpials true pagajia, which at the time of the 
description of veteratoria was interpreted in the sense used by 
Giglio-Tos and Bruner, determined Asuncion material from the 
latter author being at that time in our hands; the female of 
veteratoria, which is the type, stated when described as probably 
different from the male, is the same as 0. acuta, described by us 
several pages later in the same paper. Bruner’s gracilicornis, 
which was considered a Sisantum by us,® is a quite different mem- 
ber of this group, while meridionalis, azteca and guatemalae are 
closely related, so much so that we prefer not to comment further 
on them until series are available. Bruner’s Orphulella crassa, 
described from Rio de Janeiro, agrees completely with the ma- 
terial now before us, and is clearly a synonym of Orphida pagana. 
The rather extensive series of this species now before us shows 
there is some size variation and also some slight fluctuation in 
the degree of angulation of the fastigium, but in no case is this 
sufficiently marked to prevent the ready recognition of the species. 
The tegmina and wings surpass the apices of the caudal femora 
in but a single specimen, a male, in which the difference is slight. 
All the males seen are in the brown phase and in the female sex 
the green phase is scarcer than the brown one, but fifteen being 
in the completely colored green phase and four with the dorsum 
green. 
The species is known from the vicinity of Rio de Janeiro, several 
localities in the state of Sao Paulo, from the state of Espirito 
Santo (recorded by us as Orphulina veteratoria) and Sete Lagoas, 
Minas Geraes (recorded by Bruner as Orphidella crassa?).
