These two specimens are larger than the same sex of brasiliensis, 

 with the ocelH smaller and the antennae and cerci longer. One speci- 

 men (March 5) has the character of the cerci and antennae more marked 

 than the other, and measurements of both specimens with those of an 

 average male of brasilietisis are here given.

This species has been recorded from the north of Patagonia and the 

 Pampas, and specifically from Bahia Blanca, Argentina. A female 

 individual from Carcarafia, Argentina, determined by Prof. Bruner as 

 B. brasiliensis, is clearly referable to subaptera, the shape of the supra- 

 anal plate and the length of the cerci being typical of this species,

These specimens are clearly referable to this species, of which a 

 female from Carcarafia, Argentina, has also been examined. Giglio- 

 Tos has recorded the species from San Pedro Province, Paraguay.

This species can easily be recognized in the female by the elongate 

 pronotum, and separated from C. argentina by the longer, slenderer 

 median and caudal limbs and weaker cephalic limbs, while C. crena- 

 ticollis is distinct]}^ smaller and comparatively more robust. The 

 male, on the other hand, bears a very considerable resemblance to that
