  Discussion. 
  — 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  genotype 
  of 
  Monohelea. 
  Macfie's 
  (1937, 
  

   1940a) 
  records 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  from 
  Trinidad 
  and 
  British 
  Guiana 
  must, 
  

   I 
  beUeve, 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  macfiei, 
  new 
  species, 
  described 
  (see. 
  p. 
  143), 
  

   from 
  Louisiana. 
  

  

  Through 
  the 
  kindness 
  of 
  John 
  Lane 
  I 
  have 
  examined 
  a 
  female 
  from 
  

   km. 
  47, 
  estrada 
  Rio-Sao 
  Paulo, 
  Rio 
  de 
  Janeiro, 
  Brazil, 
  collected 
  in 
  

   February 
  1945 
  by 
  P. 
  Wygodzinsky. 
  This 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  locality 
  

   as 
  the 
  male 
  described 
  and 
  figured 
  by 
  Lane. 
  Externally 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  

   almost 
  inseparable 
  from 
  M. 
  (M.) 
  lanei, 
  new 
  species 
  (see 
  p. 
  142), 
  from 
  

   Florida, 
  but 
  the 
  male 
  genitalia 
  are 
  very 
  close 
  to 
  those 
  of 
  M. 
  (M.) 
  

   maculipennis. 
  A 
  sketch 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  parameres 
  (after 
  Lane) 
  is 
  included 
  

   here 
  for 
  comparison 
  with 
  those 
  of 
  maculipennis.
