Genus Ceraia Brunner. 

 Ceraia Brunner, Addit. Mon. Phaneropt., pp. i8, 127 (1891). 



The present genus has been separated from the old Scudderia to 

 accommodate several moderately large insects with the apex of ovi- 

 positor blunt or rounded. The described forms are in their distri- 

 bution tropical American. At least a dozen species have been recog- 

 nized. 



19. Ceraia punctulata Brunner? 



Scudderia punctulata Brunner, Alon. Phaneropt,. pp. 238, 243 (1878). 

 Ceraia punctulata Brunner, Addit. Mon. Phaneropt., pp. 128, 129 (1891). 



Specimens coming from Chapada, Brazil, and Santa Cruz de la 

 Sierra, Bolivia, are referred here with some doubt owing to a few 

 slight differences from the description. The Bolivian specimens were 

 taken by J. Steinbach, the Brazilian by H. H. Smith. 



20. Ceraia cornutoides Caudell. 



Ceraia cornutoides Caudell, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXX, p. 237 (1906). 



The present species is represented by specimens coming from 

 Corumba and Chapada, Brazil (H. H. Smith) and Puerto Suarez, 

 Bolivia (either J. D. Haseman, or J. Steinbach). 



21. Ceraia atrosignata Brunner? 



Ceraia atrosignata Brunner, Addit. Mon. Phaneropt., pp. 128, 130 (1891). 



A single female specimen of the genus Ceraia is referred with a 

 little doubt to Brunner's atrosignata. It was taken at "Las Juntas, 

 Dept. Sta. Cruz, Bolivia," by J. Steinbach.
