53. Tomeophora brevirostris sp. nov. 



Male. — This insect can best be compared with T. punginnculata 

 of Brunner from Peru, to which species it is most nearly related. 

 In the accompanying synoptical table the former species is described 

 as having the fastigium of the vertex sulcate and equal in length to 

 the first antennal joint. The present species has the fastigium much 

 shorter and scarcely sulcate. The former also has the posterior 

 edge of the tegmina plainly rounded, while in brevirostris they are 

 straight. The apex of the tegmina of the latter is also much more 

 broadly rounded than in that of the former. The coloration and 

 type of venation is somewhat similar in both. 



Length of body, 18 mm., of pronotum, 4.2 mm., of tegmina, 29.5 

 mm., width of tegmina, 8.5 mm., length of hind femora, 16 mm. 



Habitat. — "Province del Sara, Bolivia. 350 m." J. Steinbach, 

 collector, February, 1913. Only the type is at hand. It is deposited 

 in the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh.

A female from Chapada, Brazil, is placed here. It was taken 

 by H. H. Smith. 



55. Tomeophora ovatipennis sp. nov. 



A medium-sized insect with rather roughened leathery tegmina, 

 the color of which is greenish-yellow, tinged at base and along the 

 anterior and posterior borders with ruddy lavender. 



Fastigium of the vertex somewhat compressed, almost reaching the 

 apex of the first antennal joint, not in the least sulcate above. Pro- 

 notum with its median carina quite prominent throughout, the hind 

 margin of the disc rounded or subangulate; lateral lobes about as 

 long as high, their lower margin oblique, the lower posterior angle 

 rounded. Tegmina less than twice as wide at middle as the length 

 of the pronotum, coriaceous, opaque, the longitudinal veins heavy 

 and parallel, transverse veins few and also parallel apically, the apex 

 rather broadly rounded. Wings acuminate, the exposed portion 

 leathery; the stridulating vein heavy, smooth, preceded by a deep 

 oval i)it. Supra-anal plate triangular, the last ventral segment 

 tapering and roundly and moderately deeply emarginate. Cerci
