There are two females at hand that were collected, the one in Paraguay 

 and the other at Chapada, near Cuyaba, Matto Grosso, Brazil. The 

 former was taken in December and the latter in July. They both have 

 the wings considerably longer than the pronotal process, which itself 

 passes the apex of the hind femora nearly two millimeters. Carnegie 

 Museum, Pittsburgh. 



Genus Paurotarsus Hancock. 

 Paurotarsus Hancock, Psyche, IX, 1900, 42; Genera Insectorum, fasc. 48. 1906, 

 70-71. 



The genus Paurotarsus so far as at present known is confined to tropical 

 South America and the adjoining island of Trinidad. Only two species 

 have been described. The subjoined table will separate them. 



A. Carinae of the frontal costa very heavy, almost obliterating the otherwise 

 moderately wide sulcus; dorsum of the pronotum anteriorly gently arcuate 



(Brazil) amazonus Hancock. 



A A. Carinse of the frontal costa only moderately heavy, leaving the sulcus fairly 

 wide; dorsum of the pronotum anteriorly strongly arcuate (island of Trini- 

 dad, West Indies) rugosus Bruner. 



Paurotarsus amazonus Hancock. 



Paurotarsus amazonus Hancock, Psyche, IX, 1900, 42-43, figs. la-id; Genera In- 

 sectorum, fasc. 48, 1906, 71, fig. 26. 



Habitat. — Amazon, South America. 



The H. H. Smith collection contains specimens of what I take to be 

 this species. They were taken at Para and Santarem, Brazil. Those 

 from the former locality were captured during the month of July. Car- 

 negie Museum, Pittsburgh.
