Grammadera janeirensis Bruiier 



1915. Grcuninadera janeirensis Bruner, Ann. Carnog. Mas., i.x, p. 321. [Riode 

 Janeiro, Brazil.] 



Sao Paulo, State of Sao Paulo. February, li)07. (H. Liider- 

 waldt.) One male. 



This specimen fully agrees with all the important features of 

 the original description, but shows a slight sulcation of the dorsal 

 surface of the fastigium, a condition described as present in the 

 female but absent in the male. We find, however, some varia- 

 tion in the intensity of this sulcation in the allied G. hastata Brun- 

 ner, and think that in the forms with elongate fastigia this feature 

 varies, and probably geographically, but our material is too 

 scanty to be positive of the character of the variation. 



The two localities given above are all known for the species. 

 Microcentrum lanceolatum (Burmeister) 

 1S3S. Ph[yUoptera] lanccolata Burmeister, Handb. der Entoni., ii, abth. ii, 



pt. i, p. 692. [Brazil.] 



Porto Alegre, State of Rio Grande do Sul. June, 1912. (H. 

 Liidecke.) One female. 



This is, apparently, the most southern record known for this 

 widely distributed species. 



Microcentrum myrtifolium Saussure and Pictet 



1898. Microcentrum myrtijolium Saussure and Pictet, Biol. Cent.-Amer., Orth., 

 i, p. 359. [Brazil.] 



Ypiranga, State of Sao Paulo. October, 1910. (H. Liider- 

 waldt.) One female. 



This specimen fully agrees with the original description and is, 

 apparently, the first individual of the species with full locality 

 to be recorded. 



PSEUDOPHYLLINAE 



Meroncidius inornatus Walker 



1S70. Meroncidius inornatus Walker, Catal. Dcrniaj)!. Salt. Brit. Mus., iii, p. 

 453. [Montevideo, Uruguay.) 



Sao Joao de Barra, State of Kio de .lanciro. 1912. (E. 

 Garbe.) One female. 



This specimen agrees with Walker's description, vague though 

 his remarks are as a whole. The species is apparently related to 

 M. intermedins. Brunner,-" described from Rio de Janeiro, Theres- 



-" Monogr. der Pseudophyll., p. 15(), pi. vi, fig. tltJ, (1895).
