72. Elaeochlora sp.? 

 The material collected by J. Steinbach in the "Provincia del Sara," 

 Bolivia, contains two female specimens of this genus. On account of 

 the absence of males from the same locality it is impossible to deter- 

 mine the species to which they belong. They were collected at an 

 elevation of 450 meters above sea level. This much, however, can be 

 said concerning their identity: they belong to that section of the 

 genus with the emarginate anterior margin of the pronotum and the 

 much longer spines on the inner edge of the hind tibiae than on the 

 outer. Whether or not they represent a described species is difficult 

 to deride from the material at hand.

74. Elaeochlora basalis sp. nov. 



Most closely related to E. jucunda Walker, coming from Venezuela, 

 but readily separated from thai species by the position and color oi 

 the pale spot located at the base of each elytron, as indicated in the 

 S3 noptic table of species which accompanies this paper. 



fnsect of medium size and moderate robustness. Tegmina and 

 wings slightly passing the apex of the hind femora. Head fairly 

 large, the occiput but little elevated; eyes prominent, separated al 

 the vertex by a space scarcely equal to their shortest diameter, the 

 fastigium horizontal, shallowly sulcate, its sides meeting at front in a 

 slightly acute angle; frontal costa rather prominent between the
