This insect is not contained in the collection being reported upon, unless 

 the four specimens referred to as doubtfully belonging to Batrachidea 

 miicronata (Serville) are the present species. Should this latter surmise 

 pro\-e correct, then the genus Puiggaria must precede Paurotarsus and 

 the diagnosis changed so as to include perfectly developed winged forms 

 as well as those with these organs greatly abbreviated.
