io8. Phlugis nemoptera Bolivar? 



Phlugis nemoptera Bolivar, Mem. Soc. Zool. France, I, p. 153 (1888); Kirby, Syn. 

 Cat. Orth. B. M., II, p. 284 (1906); Karny, Revis. Conocephal., p. 102 (1907). 

 Thysdrus nemoptera Redtenbacher, Mon. Conocephal., p. 221 (1891). 



Three specimens coming from the "Province de la Sierra," Bolivia, 

 are referred to this species with some doubt. While agreeing with the 

 description of P. nemoptera in most respects, they have a rather promi- 

 nent orange-colored line running length-wise of the disc of the pro- 

 notum, instead of the emerald-green line attributed to that species. 

 They were collected during December by J. Steinbach. 



109. Phlugis teres (de Geer). 

 Locusta teres de Geer, Mem. Ins., Ill, p. 458, PI. 40, fig. 5 (1778). 

 Phlugis teres Stal, K. S. Freg. Eugen. Resa., Ins. Orth., p. 324 (i860); Kirby, 



Syn. Cat. Orth. B. M., II, p. 285 (1906). 

 Thysdrus teres St.\l, Recens. Orth., II, p. ii6 (1874); Redtenbacher, Mon. 

 Conocephal., p. 222 (1891). 



Three specimens, icf and 2 9 9, from Chapada, Brazil, are referred 

 to de Geer's species. They were taken by H. H. Smith in April and 

 May. There is also a pair taken by J. Steinbach at "Sta. Cruz de la 

 Sierra," Bolivia, at an elevation of 450 meters above sea-level. 



no. Phlugis mantispa Bolivar.

B. M., II, p. 285 (1906). 

 Thysdrus mantispa Redtenbacher, Mon. Conocephal., p. 222 (1891). 



A number of specimens of both sexes, coming from Bolivia, Brazil, 

 and Paraguay have been referred to Bolivar's species P. mantispa 

 originally described from Cuban material. These insects were col- 

 lected by H. H. Smith and J. Steinbach, the latter having taken a 

 specimen at Puerto Suarez, Bolivia. 



III. Phlugis irregularis sp. no v. 



Size medium, green, or greenish testaceous, the antennae more or 

 less fasciate with fuscous. Tegmina and exposed apical portion of 

 wings somewhat coriaceous. Most closely related to P. coriacea 

 Redtenbacher, but decidedly smaller, as will be seen by a reference to 

 the foregoing table of species. 



Pronotum somewhat produced behind, the posterior border evenly 

 rounded. Tegmina of medium width, tapering but little apically,
