Tliis series cxliibits sonic variation in size and length of the tegmina 

 and wings, the two sexes sharing ahke in the same. 



This species has also been recorded from Porto Allegre (Karsch) and 

 Sfio T.eojtoldo (Bolivar), Rio Grande do Sid, Brazil.

On comparison of this series with the two descriptions cited above, it 

 is very evident that both refer to the same species. "\Miile not abso- 

 lutely typical Procolpia in the form of the apex of the tegmina, the 

 species is certainly nearer Procolpia emarginata than Munatia punctata, 

 the type of the latter genus. The form of the wing is distinctly that 

 of Procolpia, and the apex of the tegmen in every specimen shows a 

 slight oblique sutural truncation.

These specimens exhibit some slight variation in size, and in the 

 shade of the green base color and of the bars of the sides of the head 

 and pronotum. The latter are in some cases greenish yellow, in others 

 pinkish, and again dull purplish much darker than the base color.

" Giglio-Tos's Prionolopha hrevipennis (Bollett. Mus. Zool. Anaf. Comp. Torino,
