March. 100"); threo foniales. 



In these ."Specimens the length of the tegniina varies from S'S to 3S 

 millimeters, the caudal femora from 2-4 to 25.5 and the ovipositor 

 from 34 to 34.5. The ovipositor is appreciably longer than the measure- 

 ments given by Redtenbacher (20-28 mm.), but otherwise the s])eci- 

 mens are perfectly typical. 



♦Conocephaloides brachypterus (Redtenbacher).

February, 1903; one female. 



This individual has several spines on each of the cephalic and median 

 femora, but otherwise it fulh' agrees with the original description. 



*Conocephaloides rugosicoUis (Bolivar).

November and December, 1904, January, February and IMarch, 1905; 

 seven males, six females. 



As far as can be determined from the several published descriptions 

 of this species the Paraguayan series before us is referable to rugosi- 

 coUis. In the degree of contiguity of the vertex and frontal fastigium 

 there is, however, considerable variation, ranging from individuals 

 with the two distinctly touching to others in which they are slightly 

 but appreciably separated. In no other character, however, can the 

 material be separated, and the majority of the series is rather inter- 

 mediate between the two. 



The figiu'e of the tegmen given by Redtenbacher" is not exactly as 

 seen in the Paraguayan specimens, as the obliquely truncate apex of 

 the tegmen is not sinuate in the latter series. 



As the female of this species has never been described a few notes 

 may be of interest. 



Ovipositor less than half the length of the tegmina, slightly bent 

 proximad, straight otherwise, thick distad, the greatest width at about 

 a fourth the length from the apex, latter acute; subgenital plate with a 

 deep median sinuate \'-shaped emargination.
