One paratypie male (February) and four paratypic females (Jan- 

 uary and February) have also been examined. There is an appre- 

 ciable amount of variation in color, some being more greenish than 

 the types, while one has the color pattern very weak. Aside from 

 this, however, they agree very well with the types.

 4, p. 69. [Sao Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil; Montevideo, Uruguay.] 



Corumba, Matto Grosso, Brazil. March. (H. H. Smith.) One male.

 body. 



Genus PARALEUAS Giglio-Tos. 



PARALEUAS FRATER, new specie.,. 



Types. — Male and female. Chapada, Matto Grosso, Brazil. 

 June (male); November (female). (H. H. Smith.) Cat. No. 12093, 

 U.S.N.M. 



Closely allied to Paraleuas minor Bruner« from Victoria, Brazil, 

 but differing in the longer tegmina which average 15.2 mm. in the 

 male and 14.5 in the female in the series in hand, instead of 11 and 

 12 mm. as in P. minor. The other proportions of the species are 

 about the same. 



Size very small; form moderately elongate and slender; surface of 

 the pronotum and pleura strongly punctate, of the face moderately 

 punctate. Head with its exposed dorsal length equal to three-fifths 

 (female) or four-fifths (male) the dorsal length of the pronotum; 

 occiput slightly ascendent, arcuate, interocular space narrow, hardly 

 (male) or about (female) a third the greatest width of the fastigium, 

 interocular region slightly descending; fastigium sub-horizontal, 

 blunt rectangulate in both sexes, apex sub-truncate, margins dis- 

 tinct, disk very shallowly but distinctly excavate; fastigio-facial 

 angle rounded rectangulate, more distinctly rounded in the female 

 than the male, facial line very considerably retreating from between
