42 THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
Acanthocheila kahavalu Kirkaldy 
In the Kirkaldy Collection, National Museum, Washington, 
D. C., there is one example of this insect from Challanga, Peru, 
labeled ‘type’ and I designate this specimen as the type (Nat. 
Mus. No. 25,152) of the species. I have also examined the fol- 
lowing specimens from Bolivia; two from Cochabamba, one from 
Marcapata and three from Pachitea. 
Leptodictya leinahoni Kirkaldy 
The genus Hanuala of Kirkaldy, Bull. Soc. Ent., France, 1905, 
p. 216, is identical with the genus Leptodictya of Stal and, as 
the latter has priority, leinahoni should be transferred to this 
genus. In the Kirkaldy Collection (Nat. Mus.) there is a single 
specimen from Mapiri, Bolivia, labeled “type”, which I designate 
as the type (No. 25,062 U. S. N. M.) of the species. I have also 
examined specimens from Peru (Cozoo, Coll. Gay) and Bolivia 
(two from Mapiri, one from Lopax (Yungas), and ten from 
Cochabamba). 
Acvsta brasiliensis n. sp. 
Very distinct and distinguished at once from the known spe- 
cies of the genus by the biseriate costal area and the very narrow 
carina-like paranota. The head is armed with five spines, the 
antero-lateral ones short and projecting forward. Length, 4.3 
mm.; width, 2.1 mm. 
Antennae slender, rather long, the third segment two and a half times 
the length of the fourth. Rostrum reaching to the meso-metasternal su- 
ture. Head short, very sparsely pubescent. Pronotum coarsely punctured, 
narrowed anteriorly, moderately clothed with rather long, fine pubescence, 
tricarinate, the lateral carinae present only on the posterior portion of the 
pronotum, the median carina very distinct and prominent. Paranota very 
narrow, extending along the entire margin of pronotum, composed of a 
single row of very tiny areolae, the posterior two or three cells a little 
larger than the others. Elytra very sparsely and finely pubescent, consid- 
erably longer than the abdomen, each elytron with two raised prominent 
laterally compressed, point-like structures; costal area uniformly biseriate, 
the areolae rather large and mostly pentagonal; subcostal area with four 
rows of areolae; discoidal area very distinct, with four to five rows of 
areolae at its widest part, and areolae of discoidal and subcostal areas small 
and subequal in size; sutural area broad, the areolae becoming larger 
distally. Wings a little longer than the abdomen. Male claspers large and 
strongly curved. 
Color: Head black, the spines testaceous. Eyes reddish or black. An- 
tennae testaceous, the spical segment fuscous. Pronotum dark brown, the 
paranota, collum and posterior portion of triangular process, and the 
median carina, except central portion, testaceous. Elytra testaceous, the 
four prominent raised point-like structures brown with fuscous tips, a large
