rounded; rostrum short, broad; basal antennal segment black, large, 

 and with a large, round, smooth, amber-colored, eye-like protuberance 

 on the basal half of the upper side; the two succeeding segments also 

 black, beyond pallid, changing aplcally to fuscous; face and mouth- 

 parts black, shining; terminal segment of palpi elongate-triangular. 

 Pronotum clothed with coarse hairs, in the female subcylindrical, 

 but little, in the male decidedly, expanding towards the base, the base 

 in former broadly rounded, in the latter straight. Tegmina of female 

 somewhat coriaceous, a little shorter, in the male a little longer, 

 than the abdomen, with the speculum large and slightly elongate. 

 Hind femora moderately robust. Anterior tibiae perforated on both 

 sides, the openings large and oblong. Ovipositor robust, arcuate, 

 the apex evenly tapering and gently roughened above. 



Length of body, cf, 5-6 mm.; 9, 6 mm.; of pronotum, cf, 1-35 

 mm., 9, 1.25 mm.; width, cf, i.Q mm., 9, 1-3 mm.; length of teg- 

 mina, cf , 5.25 mm., 9 , 3-5 mm : of hind femora, d^ and 9 , 5.15 

 mm.; of ovipositor, 2.9 mm. 



Habitat. — Chapada, Brazil, Jan., April, May, and Nov. (H. H. 

 Smith). Several males and females. The types are deposited in the 

 Carnegie Museum. 



The abdomen and sides of the pronotum and the lateral field of the 

 tegmina vary from dark brunneo-ferruginous to black. The legs are 

 to some extent infuscated in the form of bands, and the veins of the 

 male tegmina are likewise varied with piceous.

The representatives of this American genus are rather closely related 

 to those of Cyrioxipha and may be recognized by the characters men- 

 tioned in the synopsis of the genera given on a preceding page of this 

 paper. Only a very few species have thus far been recognized. 

 Possibly others may occur in middle and South American countries.
