Habitat. -Several specimens of this insect are at hand from Co- 

 rumba, Brazil. They were taken during the months of March and 

 July (lb H. Smith).

Rehn describes a new Paraleuas (/. c.) which seems to be distinct 

 from any of the previously described species, as well as from the one 

 characterized here, although it approaches the latter most closely. 



Habitat. — Rehn's specimens came from Chapada, Matto Grosso, 

 Brazil, where they were taken by II. H. Smith. 



The described species of this genus may be separated by a table 

 given in the paper just cited. The present collection, however, 

 contains numerous specimens of what appears to be a fifth species. 

 It comes closest to the P. minor from which it differs in the some- 

 what longer tegmina and wings. Like that insect it is without 

 banded hind femora. Its measurements are as follows: Length of 

 body cf, 15 mm., 9, 18 mm.; of pronotum, d\ 2.65 mm., 9, 3- T 5 

 mm.; of tegmina, cf, 14 mm., 9, 16.5 mm.; of hind femora, rj\ 8.5 

 mm., 9 , 10.5 mm. 



Habitat. — A large series of specimens is at hand from both Corumba 

 and Chapada, Brazil, where they were taken during the months 

 of April to October inclusive (II. II. Smith). 



The color of this insect is rather uniform brunneo-ferruginous with 

 inconspicuous lighter and darker markings on the head, thorax and 

 tegmina. The hind femora are not banded with fuscous. I have 

 called this insect Paraleuas longipennis. This may be the P. frater 

 Rehn, listed above.
