382 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.84 



Argentina. Villa Ana (January. February, March), eight, Goya, one, 

 and two specimens without definite locality; Paraguay, Gran Chaco 

 (March), one. 



In addition to the type series there is one specimen in the British 

 Museum from Sao Paulo, Brazil, that belongs here but is not in- 

 cluded among the paratypes. It is abnormal, in that the sclerotized 

 pocket is much narrower than in other specimens and the lateral 

 areas of the genital plate arc completely fused with the central area. 

 The entire plate seems to have been pinched. I believe that these 

 diiicrences indicate nothing more than an individual and freak 

 development.
