In addition to the type. and allotype we have a male paratype, 

 bearing the same data as the type. This specimen was taken 

 in eoitu with the allotype, and would have been selected as the 

 type but it was considerably more imperfect than the detached 

 male, which was so indicated. These specimens show no im- 

 portant differences other than those which have been mentioned. 

 In the male paratype one caudal tibia shows ten instead of the 

 more usual nine spines. 



We take pleasure in dedicating the species to the well-known 

 South American entomologist C. Schrottky, who kindly sent us 

 the material here described.

from the dorsum of the fastigium, in the more elongate pronotum, 



' The abdomen of the type is slightly more reflexed than in the male para- 

 type.
