 One male. 



Ischnoptera mexicana Saus.sure?

 xiv, p. 170. [Tropical Mexico.] 



Ypiranga, State of Sao Paulo. October, 1912. (H. Luder- 

 waldt.) One female. 



We refer this specimen doubtfully to mexicana, a species which 

 has not been recorded so far to the southward. The present 

 specimen, however, agrees with all but several very minor fea- 

 tures of Saussure's description, and. without material of unques- 

 tioned mexicana for comparison, the best course appears to be 

 to treat it in the present fashion. Actual comparison may show 

 unmentioned characters worthy of specific value and necessitate 

 the separation of the present insect from the more northeiii 

 type. 



Neoblattella fasciata (Brunner) 



1865. Fh[yllo<lromia] fasciata Bruiiucr, Xouv. 8yst. IMatt., p. 107. [Brazil.] 



Castro, State of Parana. 1907. (E. Garbe.) One female. 



This species is closely related to X. conspersa (Brunner) of east- 

 ci'n and northeastern Brazil, which it probably represents in the 

 southern part of the country. It is easily recognized by its dis- 

 tinctive livery. The present record is the first one known to us 

 with an exact locality. 

 Epilampra caliginosa Walk(>r

Brazil.] 



Sao Paulo, State of Sao Paulo. PVl^ruary 8, 1900. One 

 female. 



This api^arently is but the second record of the species. It has 

 considerable resemblance to K. aijathina (Saussure) from the 

 same general region, but it is smaller, with a differently shaped 

 pronotum and somewhat different pattern. The pale proximal 

 antennal joint is sharply contrasted with the blackish of the 

 remainder of the antennae. As the female of this species was 

 previously unknown, the measurements of that sex may l)e of 

 interest: length of body. 29..") mm.: length of pronotum, 7: great- 

 est witlth of i)ronotuni, 8.7; ItMigth of legmen, 27; greatest width 

 of tegmen, 8.0.
