Carcarana, Argentina (LZ. Bruner). U.S. Nat. Museum. 
The female (81) is the type ; the male (56) seems to be 
correctly associated, but it differs much in appearance and 
may possibly belong to a different species. 
Diadasia separata (Holmberg).

described only the female ; the male is simi'ar, but the fla- 
gellum is only faintly reddish beneath, and there is no red
