Genus SPONGIPHORA Serville. 



1. INSIGNIS Stal. 



Colombia,. — Cayenne (William Schaus), a broken specimen. 



This is Rehn's type of Sparatta flavipennula [1903 2 , p. 306]. 1 refer 

 it to this species, but ii is unfortunate thai it is a female. 



Caudell [1907 2 , p. IT.'!) refers to Sparatta flavipennula two larvae 

 taken by Messrs. Schwarz ami Barber in Guatemala (Cacao, 'Preee 

 Aguas), but they are certainly not the larvae of this species. They 

 seem to be of some Sparatta, but can not be identified with certainty. 



2. BRUNNEIPENNIS Serville. 



Georgia. Morrison (C. V. Riley), one male ami one female. 

 Texas. Colombia, near the Brazos River, "under old leaves," 

 December 15, 1878 (E. A. Schwarz), one male. 



3. APICEDENTATA Caudell. 



California. Los Angeles, one male (Coquillet). 

 Arizona. "Catalina Springs; Cereus giganteus." Original syn- 

 types of Caudell [1905, p. 401]. 



4. GHILIANII Dohrn. 



Guatemala. Cacao, Trece Aguas, Alt a Vera Paz (Schwarz and 

 Barber), one male and one female. 



Specimens recorded by Caudell [1907 2 , p. 175] as Spongiphora 

 pygmsea. 1 follow Borelli's revision of the group and so refer these 

 specimens to Spongiphora ghilianii. 



Genus SPARATTA Serville. 

 ?1. PELVIMETRA Serville, var. RUFINA Stal. 



Guatemala. Cacao, Trece Aguas, Alt a Vera Paz, one female 

 (Barber). 



This is the type of Cylindrogaster diplatyoides Caudell [1907 2 , 

 p. 170]. It is certainly a female of some species of Sparatta, probably 

 of the above species. 



?2. ARMATA Burr. 



Guatemala. — Poloehic River, March 22 (Schwarz and Barber), 

 Cat. No. 10367. 



This specimen is the type of Sparatta minuta of Caudell [1907 2 , 

 p. 172], a female, which I refer here.
