This Porto Alegre male is very similar to topotypic males, 

 except that the size is somewhat less and the tegmina and wings 

 do not surpass the femoral apices. The caudal tibiae, however, 

 show no red in their yellowish ground color. The Franga male 

 is more similar to specimens from Sapucay, Paraguay and the 

 Misiones, Argentina, which have been the subject of comment 

 by us.i"

 1. [Juiidiahy, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil.] 



Salto Grande, State of Sao Paulo. February, 1911. (H. 

 Lliderwaldt.) One male. 



When compared with the type (cf) this specimen has the fas- 

 tigium acute-angulate, more deeply sulcate and depressed trans- 

 versely proximad, the tegmina are slightly more elongate and 

 narrower, and the limbs are all appreciably more elongate. This 

 is, however, no question in our mind of the identity of the speci- 

 men with arcuata. 



This species is known only from the two localities.

Salto Grande, State of Sao Paulo. February', 1911. (H. 

 Lliderwaldt.) One male. 



Franga, State of Sao Paulo. January, 1911. (E. Garbe.) 

 Two males, three females. 



Porto Alegre, State of Rio (Jrande do Sul. Juno, 1912. Two 

 females. 



The Porto Alegre specimens have the pale markings orange 

 rufous, as usual in the more southern individuals of the species ; 

 the Salto Grande individual has much more yellowish pale mark- 

 ings, while the Franga specimens have these markings decidedly 

 yellow. In all the tegmina show a more or less distinct brick- 

 red wash. The pale areas of the wings are brick-red in the Porto 

 Alegre and Salto Grande specimens, a deeper and more intense 

 red in the Franga representatives.
