A paratypic pair have been examined in addition to the types

I 



Genus ZONIOPODA Stal. 



ZONIOPODA MIMICULA, new species. 



Tyi)e. — Male. Chapada, Matto Grosso, Brazil. November. (H. 

 H. Smith.) Cat. No. 12088. U.S.N.M. 



Closely allied to Zoniopoda iheringi; Pictet andSaussure,but differ- 

 ing in the smaller size, the narrower, subequal and less deflected

fastigium, the less angulate caudal margin of the pronotum and 

 weaker median carina of the same. The subgenital plate is also 

 somewhat more produced and the coloration more uniformly green. 



Size rather small (for the genus) ; surface of head and thorax (ex- 

 cept venter) punctate. Head with its dorsal length contained one 

 and two-thirds times in that of the pronotum; occiput moderately 

 elevated, arcuate, interocular region and fastigium slightly declivent, 

 the former about two-thirds the greatest width of the fastigium; 

 fastigium rectangulate with the apex truncate, lateral margins very 

 shghtly elevated, the surface of the disk ruguloso-punctate; fastigio- 

 facial angle obtuse-angulate, facial line appreciably but not greatly 

 retreating, slightly arcuate; frontal costa rather broad, subequal in 

 width, very slightly narrowed at its junction with the fastigium, 

 separated from the disk of the latter by a slightly elevated carina,
