by his reference of it to the former genus on page 132 of the

Scaphura nitida Perty. 



Scaphura nitida Perty, Del. Anim. Art., p. 131, pi. xxiii, fig. 12

 Suppl., p. 41 (1871). 



One $ , August, 1908. Schunke. 



Walker's Aganacris tnicans is here placed in synonymy under 

 Scaphura nitida Perty. Walker's type was examined in 1913 

 and notes made at the time indicate this synonymy. 



Scaphura sp. 



One $ , August, 1908. Schunke. 



This specimen, which lacks antennje, may be a variety of 

 some of the several forms now listed under the name vigorsi 

 Kirby or nigra Thunberg. It is very like the specimen figured 

 by Perty as Scaphura ferruginea except there is a fuliginous 

 area in the posterior apical field of the wings, narrowly con- 

 tinued along the anal margin more than halfway to the base. 



Stilpnochlora incisa Brunner.

These specimens agree with Brunner's diagnosis except that 

 there is barely a trace of transverse fuscous lines on the teg- 

 mina, in which respect they agree with the figure by Stoll, 

 Repr., etc., pi. IVa, fig. 12 (1813), which Saussure and Zehnt- 

 ner, Biol. Cent. Amer., Orth., vol. i, p. 372 (1898), refers to 

 this species.
