 One 9 , Iquitos, Peru, February, 1907. Iconnicoff. 

 This specimen agrees very well with the description of the 

 male except that it is a little larger, as might be expected, and 

 the intermediate tibiae are armed dorsally on the caudal margin 

 only.

One 9 , March, 1909. Schunke. 

 Anaulacomera apicidentata, new species. (PI. II, fig. 21.) 



An inconspicuous green species apparently most nearly allied 

 to A. dentata, to which species it runs out in Brunner's key. 

 The cerci of the male, however, seem to distinguish the two 

 species, the inner tooth in dentata being mesial while in the 

 species here described it is apical. 



Description ( $ ). — Fastigium of the vertex sulcate dorsally, 

 constricted mesially and apically a little elevated, meeting 

 somewhat broadly the roundly pointed facial fastigium ; front 

 rounded, not laterally carinate, barely dimpled laterally. Pro- 

 notal disk flat but the lateral carinae broadly rounded, the lateral 

 lobes about equally high as long. Tegmina and wings present- 

 ing no peculiarities. Anterior and intermediate tibicC rounded 

 above and armed only with a small apical spine on the caudal 

 margin, the intermediate one with a second very minute one 

 near the base on the right leg only. Last dorsal segment of the 

 abdomen roundly concave apically ; supraanal plate rounded tri- 

 angular ; cerci short and stout, about six times as long as 

 basally wide, cylindrical, curved gently inward and armed near 

 the tip on the inner side with a blunt triangular tooth, as shown 

 at figure 21. 



( 9 ). Resembling the male. The ovipositor is uniformly 

 curved upward and tapers in the apical fourth to a point, the 

 basal three-fourtlis uniform in width, the margins of the apical
