Brazil to about the fortieth degree of north latitude. They may be 

 recongized by the characters described in the generic synopsis given 

 on a preceding page. Less than one-half of the described forms are 

 recorded from South American countries. 



98. Hapithus annulicornis (Saussure)? 



Apithis annulicornis Saussure, Miss. Mex., Ortli. (1874), p. 491; Kirby, Syn. Cat. 

 Orth., II (1906), p. 98. 



Habitat. — A single female specimen taken during the month of 

 November is referred to this species, though with some doubt. It 

 comes from Chapada, Brazil (H. H. Smith). 



Genus Orocharis Uhler. 



Orocharis Uhler, Proc. Ent. Soc. Philad., II (1864), p. 544; Saussure, Miss. Mex.,

 Amer., Orth., I (1897), p. 269; Blatchley, Proc. Indiana Acad. .Sci., 1891, 

 pp. 128, 139. 



Like the preceding genus, Orocharis is confined to America, and has 

 about the same distribution northward. To the southward it reaches 

 well into Argentina. About two dozen species have been described. 

 They difter materially from Ilapithiis in their more elongate and 

 slender form, reminding one of the representatives of the genus 

 Metrypa, from the males of which they may be separated by the in- 

 complete oblique veins of the elytra and from the females by the form 

 of the apical valves of the ovipositor. 



99. Orocharis saiilcyi (Guerin).
