Genus Zoniopoda Stal.

Mu-.. XXX. p. 052 (1906). 



The present collection contains several specimens of the genus 

 Zoniopoda Stal, two of which appear to be new. This fact, together 

 with the known center of distribution of the genus, has made it 

 appeal- worth the while to include here a revised synoptic table of the 



species.

A. Posterior femora always, and tibia? in most instances, banded with either black, 

 yellow, or red, or with all three colors.

 Paraguay, claims that Zoniopoda tarsala and '/.. cruentata Blanchard arc distinct.
