 Masytites chapadensis Bruner, Ann. Carnegie Mus., VIII, pp. 6, 8 (1911), 



A single male nymph from Province del Sara, Bolivia, is referred 

 to this species. It was collected by J. Steinbach in February, 1913, 

 at an elevation of 350 meters above sea-level. 



According to Candido Bolivar the above synonymy should stand 

 (Bol. Real. Soc. Espan., Hist. Nat., XVI, 1916, p. 198). Ac- 

 cordingly I also am temporarily placing in this species two other 

 male specimens, which I had set aside as possibly representing two 

 new species, related to M. hrasiliensis and M. tigris, on account of 

 their abbreviated tegmina and wings. The names suggested were 

 M. fuscipennis and M. steinbachi respectively, the former being 23 

 mm. in length with tegmina and wings 7.5-8 mm. long, and the 

 latter 22 mm. in length with tegmina 3.5 mm. long. Both insects 

 have the hind femora twice broadly annulate with testaceous on their 

 apical two-fifths, although much brighter and more strongly defined 

 in fuscipennis. Both have fuscous antennae with the three basal 

 joints pale. The general color of fuscipennis above is dark fuscous, 

 without bands of testaceous mottlings. The specimen labelled stein- 

 bachi is pale brown with longitudinal fuscous bands on the sides of the 

 pronotum. Under side and legs of both insects fiavo-testaceous, 

 brightest in fuscipennis. 



The specimen labelled fuscipennis is ticketted " Pr. Chiquitos, Boli- 

 via, 300 M., Steinbach," "April 1909," and "Carn. Mus. Ace. 5229"; 

 the specimen labelled steinbachi is ticketted " R. Japacani, E. Bolivia, 

 J. Steinbach," "Feb. 1915," and "Carn. Mus. Ace. 5573." 



Family PROSCOPID.-E. 



For remarks on the present family of tropical American locusts 

 please refer to what the writer had to say in a former number of the 

 Annals (Vol. VII, pp. 430-431, 1913), where he reported upon a 

 number of forms contained in the Carnegie Museum. The present 

 collection contains but few representatives of this family.
