 Brachytrypes caviceps Karsch, Berlin. Ent. Zeitschr., XXVIII, p. 148 (1893). 



Two females and two nymphs of this genus are determined as 

 belonging to B. caviceps Karsch. They come from Batanga, where 

 they were taken by F. H. Hope, in March and April, 1914. 



These females agree with the description of the male in their colora- 

 tion and have the tegmina just reaching to the tip of the abdomen. 

 The ovipositor is moderately stout, with acuminate tip, and only 

 about two millimeters long.
