collected by Bates ; the second male example is also from 

 Brazil. The former specimen has the pronotum little 

 more highly arcuate-cristate than the type specimen in 

 the author's collection, from Peru, besides haviuff the 

 apex of the process more obtuse. Until more material is 

 examined these minor structural differences will be ignored 

 as being of no specific importance. This species was 

 figured by the author in Genera Insectorum, Fasc. 48 

 Orthopt., Plate III, tig. 23, 1906.
