138. Gryporhynchus minor sp. nov. 



The present genus is a small one, and its representatives seem to 

 be confined to Brazil, so far as known material would indicate. The 

 type, a female, came from New Freiburg, Brazil. The specimen 

 described as the male of the former is credited to Espirito Santo, 

 which is in the interior; and now a second female is at hand with 

 Rio de. Janeiro as its habitat. Redtenbacher's female specimen was 

 25 mm. long, the fastigium 3.3 mm., the tegmina 30 mm. and the 

 ovipositor 17 mm. Karny's male was 19.5 mm. long, the fastigium 

 2 mm. and it had tegmina only 17.5 mm. in length. The present 

 female measures 22 mm. long, has the fastigium a trifle over 3 mm., 

 the pronotum, 5.5 mm., the tegmina 19 mm., the hind femora 13.5 

 mm., and the ovipositor 14 mm. This last specimen being a female 

 and varying so much from the measurements of typical acutipennis 

 Redtenbacher, /. c, p. 38, is considered distinct, and is given the name 

 Gryporhynchus mmor. 



Karny's specimen may be the opposite sex of either of the females, 

 but is most likely to go with the present. The short fastigium, 

 however, seems to make this supposition somewhat doubtful. All 

 three specimens are practically pale green, or faded testaceous. The 

 type of minor is in the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, Pa. 



Genus Oxyprora Stal. 

 Oxyprora Stal, OEfv. Vet.-Akad. Forh., XIII (4), p. 50 (1873); lb., Recens. Orth., 



II, p. 98, 106 (1874); Redtenbacher. Verh. Zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, XLI, p. 358 



(1891). 



The species of the present genus have some of the characteristics of 

 representatives of both Copiphora and Neoconocephalus. As is the 

 case in the preceding genus and many of those which follow they 

 are tropical American.
