March, 1905; one female. 



This individual is rather smaller than the Brazilian or Surinam 

 material measured by Brunner,*' but otherwise it is perfectly typical 

 of the species.

 Type. — D. atrifrons Brunner. 



Dasyscelus normalis Brunner. 



1895. Dasyscelus 7iormaUs Brunner, Monogr. der Pseudopln'll., p. 119. 

 [Uruguay; Buenos Ayres.] 



November, December and January, 1903 and 1905, April, 1903; 

 six males, twelve females. 



This species appears to have as a synonym D. demigratus Brunner, 

 over which normalis has line priority. The differences cited are in the 

 color of the face and in the length of the tegmina and limbs. The 

 former of these characters is at once discredited by the fact that 

 two types, one with a black face and the other with a pale face, are 

 present in this series, the two extremes being connected by a number 

 of intermediates. The length of the limbs varies with the general 

 size and the present series shows more difference in size in the extremes 

 than the typical measmements of normalis and demigratus, although 

 the Sapucay individuals average larger than Brunner's material, 

 which came in part at least from Buenos Ayres. The original localities 

 given for demigratus are "Gabun, Buenos Ayres," but the former is 

 unquestionably erroneous.
