  There 
  are 
  before 
  us 
  four 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  species. 
  The 
  type 
  male 
  

   is 
  in 
  fair 
  condition, 
  lacking 
  the 
  antennae 
  and 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  legs; 
  the 
  

   allotype 
  is 
  without 
  head, 
  and 
  the 
  wings 
  on 
  one 
  side. 
  A 
  female 
  from 
  

   the 
  same 
  locality 
  identified 
  as 
  brasiliensis 
  Reuter 
  by 
  Uhler, 
  is 
  in 
  

   fair 
  condition, 
  and, 
  like 
  the 
  allotype, 
  is 
  brachypterous. 
  The 
  type 
  is 
  

   macropterous 
  and 
  has 
  the 
  venation 
  of 
  the 
  forewing 
  as 
  in 
  figure 
  3. 
  

   In 
  this 
  species 
  also 
  fading 
  is 
  evident. 
  Uhler 
  gives 
  the 
  body 
  color 
  as 
  

   black, 
  with 
  the 
  hemelytra 
  testaceous; 
  the 
  type 
  now 
  is 
  chocolate 
  

   brown, 
  with 
  the 
  fore 
  wing 
  stramineous.

  We

  Dr.

  confirms 
  the

  Haliday 
  thus 
  was

  We 
  have 
  before 
  us 
  the 
  genotype 
  of 
  Cryptostemma; 
  the

   closed 
  cell

  the 
  discal 
  cell 
  of

  in 
  our 
  

   figure 
  (9), 
  is 
  present 
  in 
  the 
  genotype, 
  though 
  not 
  indicated 
  in 
  

   Reuter's 
  figure 
  of 
  that 
  species. 
  The

   all 
  the 
  known
