Bruner: Tropical American Tettigoxoidea. 349 



Habitat. — Bonda and Don Diego, Department of Magdalena, 

 Colombia, in May and June, at an elevation of lOO feet to 250 meters 

 above sea-level. (H. H. Smith.) The type is in the Carnegie 

 Museum. 



Genus Leurophvllum Kirby.

While the representatives of the present genus are rather numerous 

 and widely distributed over the neotropical regions, there are but 

 fourteen forms recognized so far. Twelve of these are described in 

 Brunner's Monograph of the family PseudophyllidEe. There are 

 before me specimens of two species, neither of which seem to agree 

 with any of those treated by Brunner. His key for the disposal of 

 the species recognized by himself is given herewith with such modi- 

 fications as are necessary to include the two apparently new forms. 

 I do not happen to have the description of regimbarti Griffini at hand, 

 while Walker's species is recognizable only by examination of the type.
