space a little greater than their longest diameter; antennae with rather 

 large basal segments, these flattened and transverse, a trifle broader 

 than long, the succeeding segments considerably smaller but moder- 

 ately robust and hirsute. Maxillary and labial palpi missing, as are 

 the greater portion of the antennae. Pronotum short, broader than 

 long, the base plainly wider than the apex, provided with a few 

 anteriorly and posteriorly directed heavy bristles, the middle furnished 

 with a longitudinal impressed line. Tegmina about as long as the 

 abdomen, provided with heavy longitudinal veins, but without cross- 

 veins. Wings pallid and lengthily caudate, extending fully one-half 

 of their length beyond the tip of the abdomen, their costal field and 

 apex infuscated. Cerci robust at base, long and lengthily hirsute, 

 reaching a trifle beyond the apex of the caudate wings. Ovipositor 

 gently arcuate, rather long, and with the apex lengthily acuminate. 

 Hind femora moderately robust at the base and evenly tapering to 

 the small apical region. Hind tibiae provided with the usual movable 

 spines on the lateral canthi. Pronotum entirely faintly blue black, 

 the tegmina also black with a faint bluish tinge, upper portion and 

 outer face, together with the lower carinae of the hind femora black, 

 remainder, except the apex which is pale rufous, flavous, hind tibiae 

 infuscated; anterior and middle femora on their apical half and the 

 tibiae basally heavily clouded with dull black, otherwise dirty flavous. 

 Ovipositor piceous. 



Length of body, 9 , 9 mm., of pronotum, 1.55 mm., width, 2.15 mm., 

 length of tegmina, 6 mm., of wings, 12 mm., of hind femora, 6 mm., 

 of ovipositor, 5 mm. 



Habitat. — -A single female, the type, comes from Puerto Suarez, 

 Bolivia, where it was taken at an altitude of 150 meters above sea- 

 level. (J. Steinbach, collector.) The type is in the Carnegie Museum. 



88. Phylloscyrtus sp.? 



In addition to the two forms of the genus already mentioned there 

 is a nymph of what appears to be a third species in the collection from 

 San Antonio de (niapore, Brazil. It was taken by J. D. Haseman on 

 an island in the Rio Guapore, July 26, 1909. 



Judging from its color it may represent an undescribed species, but 

 is too immature to warrant even an attempt at naming and describing 

 it. The accession number of this last insect is 4043.
