SiibtkiTiily PSEUDOPHYLLIlSr^E. 

 17. DASYSCELUS NORMALIS Brunner. 



Very similar to /). '(/'(/mfina" of Berg, but a little larger. The 

 color and general .structure seems very like Berg's species, but 1 can 

 scarcely agree with Brethes in considering these synon^'raous.^ Tlie}- 

 differ specitically in the following respects: The posterior femora of 

 lioriitfdis, as represented by the specimens before me, are much 

 longer and the anterior femora are armed beneath on the inner side 

 with three distinct spines, while in argcntina the}' are described as 

 unarmed. The ovipositor is considerably broader than in argenthia 

 und the legs are very little mottled and the antennj\? scarcely at all 

 banded. The measurements of the specimens before me are as follows: 



Length, pronotum, male 8 mm., female 9 mm.; el5^tra, male 9.5 

 mm., female lO-Ki.o mm.; anterior femora, male 10 mm.; female 

 lo.o-ll nun.; intermediate femora, male 7.5 mm., female 8-8.5 mm.; 

 posterior femora, male 17 mm., female 20.5 mm.; posterior tibije, 

 male is mm., female 20 nun.; ovipositor, 12 mm.; width, posterior 

 femora, male 3.5 mm., female 4 mm.; ovipositor, 3.25 mm. 



One male and two females. December and Januar3\ 



18. HYPERByENUS BOHLSII Giglio-Tos. 



One male. February. 



19. COPIOPHORA PRODUCTA Bolivar. 



One female. Feltruary. 



The pronotum is a little short and the ovipositor a little long for 

 this species, measuring, respectively, 9 and 38 mm. in length. 



20. CAULOPSIS OBERTHURI Bolivar. 



One male. August. 



The pronotum of this specimen shows 110 indication of anterior 

 emargiiiiition. 



21. CONOCEPHALUS DISSIMILIS Serville. 



Three males, four females, two nymphs. December, January, 

 Fcl)ruary, and March. 



« This specie?, which was described under the genus Pleminia, is in part the species 

 qneetionably referred to Pleminia miserahilis hy ingVio-Tos in Bull. iMus. Torino, IX, 

 no. 184, 1894, p. 40, and later referred by the same author to the D(tsyscelus demi- 

 (jmhi» of Brunner. But that ^^pecies is typically African and will probably be found 

 to differ from this South American form.
