This very widely distributed species is represented by specimens 

 coming from a number of South American localities. They were 

 taken by different collectors. As would naturally be supposed, the 

 specimens vary somewhat in size, coloration, and length of wing. 

 The synoptical table of species given on a previous page will aid 

 materially in the identification.

Xiphidium longipes Redtenbacher, Monog. Conocephalid., p. 505 (1891). 

 Xiphidion longipes K.\rny, Revis. Conocephalid., p. 88 (1907). 



The collection contains specimens of this insect, which were taken 

 at Puerto Suarez, Bolivia. They were collected by J. Steinbach 

 at an elevation of 150 meters above sea-level. The species is also 

 common further south in both Paraguay and Argentina.

The present species is quite widely distributed, having been recorded 

 from several of the West Indian islands and in South America from 

 Panama to Uruguay. Specimens of both sexes are at hand from 

 Chapada and Gloria, Minas Geraes, Brazil (H. H. Smith), and 

 "Province del Sara" and "Las Juntas, Dept. .Santa Cruz, Bolivia."
