Genus OMALOTETTIX Bruner. 



OMALOTETTIX NEBULOSA (Bruner). 



Chapada, Matto Grosso, Brazil. September. (H. H. Smith.) 

 One female. 



This specimen has been compared with material from Sapucay, 

 Paraguay. 



OMALOTETTIX SIGNATIPES Bruner. 



Chapada, Matto Grosso, Brazil. April. (H.H.Smith.) Two males, 

 two females. 



Bonito, Pernambuco, Brazil. January, 1883. (A. Koebele.) 

 One male, one female. 



Espirito-Santo, Brazil. [Hebard collection.] One female. 



The individuals from Bonito appear to have the wings proportion- 

 ately longer and slenderer than is the case with Chapada and Sapucay, 

 Paraguay, material, while they are also distinctly inferior in size. A 

 specimen of this species from the island of St. Thomas, West Indies 

 (December, 1882; A. Koebele), is intermediate in size between the 

 Chapada and Bonito males, but has the tegmina nearly as slender as 

 in the latter. 



The range of tliis species now extends from Temax, Yucatan, and 

 St. Thomas, West Indies, to Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Sapucay, 

 Paraguay.

 Nuceria Stal, from which it differs in the short tegmina and wings,
