Habitat. — There are nine specimens al hand which are referred 

 here, some of them doubtfully. They come from Chapada and 

 Corumba, Brazil, and Puerto Suarez, Bolivia. They were taken 

 during the period from November to April inclusive. 



The rostrum in some of the males is apparently broken off at about 

 its middle, but otherwise these individuals do not appear to differ 

 greatly from normal specimens.

No. 302, p. 19 (1897); Kirby, Syn. Cat. Orthopt., Ill, p. 89 (1910). 



Habitat. — Three male and three female specimens which were taken 

 at Chapada, near Cuyaba, Matto Grosso, Brazil, are referred here. 

 They were collected by H. H. Smith during the months of June and 

 July. 



The female specimens appear to be immature, as they measure but 

 85 mm. in length instead of 113 mm., as given for this species in the 

 original description. 



Genus Sttphra Brunner. 



Stiphra Brunner v. Wattenwyl, Verhandl. d. k. k. Zool.-Bot. Ges. Wien, XXXIX, 

 p. 2i, fig. 6 (1890). 



The insects which comprise the present genus are especially noted 

 for their compactness. Three species have been described heretofore, 

 and now a fourth is added. Their distribution seems to be confined 

 to middle and southern Brazil and eastern Bolivia. The annexed 

 table will assist in their separation. 



Synopsis of the Species of Stiphra. 

 .1. Middle tibiae on their basal fourth provided with a lobe or expansion. \ Meta- 

 notum plane. (Rostrum of the female truncate, a little longer than the 



eyes.) [Bahia, Brazil] lobata Brunner. 



A A. Middle tibiae on their basal fourth not lobate. Metanotum tuberculately 



elevated on its posterior margin. 



b. Rostrum of female vertex at least twice as long as the eyes; in the male 



acuminate and longer than the eyes. Metanotum except the marginal 



tubercle plane. [Prov. Santa Catharina, Brazil], .tubcrculata Brunner. 



bb. Rostrum of the female vertex not known; of the male truncate, or broadly 



rounded and shorter than the eyes. Metanotum strongly arched.
