November and December, 1904, February, 1905; four females. 



These individuals are perfectly typical of Bolivar's genus and species, 

 which is clearly, as stated by him, intermediate in position between 

 Copiphora and Lirometopum. 



One specimen is slightly smaller than the others, but otherwise no 

 differences are noted. 



The description of Copiophora borellii Giglio-Tos^ appears to be that 

 of a form closely related to this species.

December, 1904; two females. 



This specimen fully agrees with Bolivar's description, except that the 

 pronotum and tegmina are very slightly longer and the ovipositor 

 slightly shorter. 



The type locality in the State of Sao Paulo and this record constitute 

 the known localities for the species.

This individual is referred here with considerable doubt, but it is 

 clearly related to this species and guttatus, with a number of which

* The author is compelled with considerable reluctance to adopt this name, 

 based on an aberrant form of the genus, in preference to the familiar application 

 of Conocephalus Thunberg. After examining tlie literature involved it is evident, 

 as has been shown by Kirby (Synonym. Catal. Orlhopt., II, pp. 241, 274 and 279), 

 that Thunberg's hemipterus is identical with Gryllus conocephalus Linnaeus, which 

 by the rule of tautonomy is the type of Conocephalus Thunberg. The latter genus , 

 Jiowever, is not cancelled by the fact that it is based on a speeifie name, as Kirby 

 so treats it, but instead it replaces Anisoplera Latreille and Xiphidion Serville.
