Two females from the Province del Sara in Bolivia are referred 

 here. One of them was taken in November, 1911, and the other 

 either in November or December, 1912. ' They were collected by J. 

 Steinbach at an elevation of 350 meters above sea-level, and agree 

 in color and general appearance with a specimen in the present writer's 

 possession taken in Paraguay by W. T. Foster. There are also two 

 males and two females at hand, which bear the label "Rio Japacani, 

 E. Bolivia, Feb. 1915, J. Steinbach, Ace. 5573." These I also refer 

 here, although they are rather too small, if Stal's measurements are 

 correct. 



103. Oxyblepta minor sp. no v. 



Very similar to the preceding, but much slenderer and smaller, 

 and with shorter tegmina and wings. 



Head rather large, wider than the front edge of the pronotum, the 

 eyes very prominent, castaneous, and longitudinally streaked with 

 testaceous, the vertex very narrow, not much wider than one-half 

 the diameter of the rather heavy antennae near their base. Fastigium 

 of the vertex acuminate, of moderate size, the frontal costa prominent 

 above between the base of the antennae, almost obliterated below. 

 Antennae robust, in the male fully as long as, in the female a little 

 shorter than, the hind femora. Front, occiput, disc of the pronotum, 

 and the pleura strongly and closely punctulate, the cheeks more 

 sparsely so. Tegmina as long as the abdomen, their apex somewhat 

 acuminate. Hind femora moderately robust, in the female not quite 

 reaching, in the male passing the tip of the abdomen a trifle. 



General color as in puncticeps. The pale line on the lower portion 

 of the lateral lobes of the pronotum and pleura beautifully maculate 

 with gamboge-yellow. Genicul^ of the hind femora with the lunules 

 ferruginous. 



Length of body, cf, 18.5 mm., 9, 22 mm.; of pronotum, d^, 3.6 

 mm., 9, 4.2 mm.; of tegmina, cf, 13 mm., 9, 17 mm.; of hind 

 femora, cf , 10 mm., 9 , 12 mm. 



Habitat: One pair in coitii, taken in December, 1913, at Las Juntas,
