This is a South American genus that extends northward to the West 

 Indies and possibly also into the southern portions of Central America. 

 Only three species have thus far been described. They may be separated 

 as follows: 



A. Tegmina never with more than a minute or indistinct subapical pallid spot, 



sometimes entirely fuscous mucronala Serville. 



A A. Tegmina provided with a large and very distinct subapical macula. 



b. The macula or tegmina large, rotund, flavous flavo-notata Bolivar. 



bb. The macula on tegmina oval, ivory-white notala Hancock.

In the present collection there are four specimens which are referred 

 here with some doubt, since the frontal costa is decidedly widely furcillate 

 instead of narrowly so, as described in the generic diagnosis given by 

 Hancock in his Genera Insectorum article. Aside from this character, 

 however, it is a typical Batrachidea. These specimens come from Cha- 

 pada, Brazil, where they were taken during August and October. Both 

 sexes are represented.
