 (1891); Karny, Revis. Conoceph., p. 21 (1907). 



Several specimens are at hand of a species which seems to be the- 

 cuspidata of Scudder, although they come from a locality much 

 farther south than has been recorded for it. From Corumba, Brazil, 

 March (H. H. Smith), and Quatro Ojos, Department Santa Cruz 

 and Prov'ince del Sara, Bolivia, December (J. Steinbach). 



143. Caulopsis attenuata sp. nov. 



As shown by the table this species is related to the preceding, but 

 is larger. The fastigium of the vertex is blunt at the apex and curved 

 gently upwards. The eyes are round and prominent; antennae slender 

 and not hirsute basally. Stridulating field of tegmina tinged with 

 ferruginous. Anterior and middle femora below on the anterior 

 border one- to three-spined ; hind femora below spined on both margins. 



Length of body, cf , 30 mm., of fastigium of vertex 4.75 mm., of 

 pronotum, 5.2 mm., of tegmina, 40 mm., of hind femora, 17 mm. 



Habitat. — Only the male is represented and that by but a single^ 

 individual. It bears the label "Mogy das Cruzes, Sao Paulo, Brazil, 

 July 21, 1908." It was collected by J. D. Haseman. The type is 

 the property of the Carnegie Museum. 



Genus Neoconocephalus Karny. 

 Neoconocephalus Karny, Revis. Conocephalid., pp. 4, 22 (1907). 



The genus, or as H. Karny calls it, the subgenus NeoconocephaluSy.. 

 is practically confined to the New World. It is that portion of the- 

 old genus Conocephalus of Serville, 7iec Thunberg, in which the fasti- 

 gium of the vertex and of the front are distinctly separated, and irv: 

 which the costal vein of the elytra is obliterated or indistinct. The 

 tegmina often lack the costal vein, or have it running obliquely towards.
