Hahitat.—The male type comes from the "Province del Sara, 

 Bolivia, 350 M." and the female from "Sta. Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, 

 450 M." Both were collected by J. Steinbach. Other specimens 

 (male and female) are at hand. These latter were also taken in the 

 Province del Sara, Bolivia, during the month of December, 1912. 

 They are deposited in the Carnegie Museum. 



82. Cyrtoxipha abbreviata sp. nov. 



At first glance reminding one of Anaxipha pallida S'tal, but a 

 closer examination shows it to possess many of the characteristics of 

 Cyrtoxipha and suggests the C. aptera Chopard. Our specimens 

 differ from this last mentioned insect, however, in several respects. 

 Instead of being simply "testaceous" it is ferruginous with piceous 

 and fuscous markings. The female of the present species, as indicated 

 by the type, has the dorsal field of the tegmina provided with seven 

 longitudinal \eins and the lateral field with but three. 



Size, medium, form robust; the head large, a little broader than the 

 front margin of the pronotum; eyes prominent, vertex depressed, but
