flavo-fasciata in the Pard record.

These specimens are inseparable from single females from 
Espirito Santo and Sao Paulo, Brazil, previously recorded by us. 
The pale lateral lines on the dorsum are indicated in all the adults 
in the present series, but subobsolete in the immature individuals. 
In the males these bars are especially marked. The enclosed 
dark area varies appreciably in width in both sexes. The 
species is known only from the coastal section of southeastern 
Brazil. The record of brasiliensis from the territory of INIisiones, 
Argentina, recently made by the author is incorrect, as the single 
male there reported belongs to an allied new species, which will 
shortly be described by us. The male genitalia of brasiliensis 
were not described by Bruner, whose only description of the 
species consists of several features in a key and a few comments 
on another page, and aside from the features of the genitalia 
brasiliensis and the new form are extremely close. The chief 
features of the male genitalia of brasiliensis are as follows; 
Furcula distinct but minute, longer than broad, rounded, de- 
pressed, closely placed; supra-anal plate acute trigonal, the 
immediate apex narrowly rounded, metlian line distad of this 
subcarinate, elevated, surface subtectate in transverse section, 
the lateral margins distinctly reflexed proximad, thus forming a
