Another pair arc labeled "Province del Sara, Boli\ia," from an ele- 

 vation of 350 meters. The former were collected in December, while 

 the latter were taken in November. All of these specimens were 

 collected by J. Steinbach. The types, cf and 9 , are among the 

 collections of the Carnegie Museum. 



The female specimen taken in the Pro\ince del Sara has the tegmina 

 2 mm. narrower and 4 mm. shorter than those of the type. 



63. Hyperphrona caerulescens Brunner? 

 Hyperphrona ccerulescens Brunner, Addit. Monog. Phaneropt., p. 166 (1891). 



Habitat. — A single female specimen belonging to the genus Hyper- 

 phrona, bearing the locality label "Corumba, Brazil (high land)," is 

 referred with doubt to //. cccndescens Brunner. It was taken during 

 April by H. H. Smith.

The present genus contains small, slender-limbed insects, which 

 undoubtedly live somewhat obscure lives, either upon the ground 

 among scattered small vegetation, or upon the trunks of trees among 

 vines and other entangling plants. All of the species are more or less 

 vari-colored, marked by blotches or splashes of ferruginous, giving 

 to them the appearance of dead or dying leaves. The genus is based 

 on the species placed by Brunner in his section i.i. of the table for 

 separating them (see Mon. Phaneropt. p. 322). All of these insects 

 seem to be confined to South America. Five species have been 

 described, three of them by Walker, and one each by Stal and Brunner. 

 A sixth appears to be represented in the material at hand. 



64. Topana media Walker? 



Topana media Walker, Cat. Derm. Salt. B. M., II, p. 365 (1869); Kirby, Syn. 

 Cat. Orth, II, p. 478 (1906). 



Habitat. — A male specimen of Topana has been referred with some 

 doubt to Walker's T. media. It comes from the "Province del Sara, 

 Bolivia," where it was taken during February at an elevation of 350 

 meters above the sea-level (J. Steinbach).
