A single specimen has been examined in addition to the types a 

 female from Sapucay, Paraguay* belonging to the Hebard collection. 

 It IS somewhat larger than the female type (length of body 34 mm ) 

 but does not appear separable. The caudal angle of the pronotum 

 Ls broader and more obtuse than in the type, and the metasternal lobes 

 approxnnate closer caudad than in the typical specimen. The general 

 color is brown, practically uniform all over, the tegmina being, how- 

 ever, somewhat lighter.

 iwo males. ' ^ -■ 



Corumba, Matto Grosso, Brazil, highland. March. (H H Smith ) 

 [U.S.N.M.] Three females. 



These specimens are typical of this rather doubtful form, which 

 possibly IS only an extreme type of the following species, with sub- 

 obsolete lateral carina. Giglio-Tos on reexamination decided it to be 

 inseparable, but with a good series oi punctata in hand it appears to 

 be recognizable. 



The original description says, regarding the caudal tibiae, '^mdique 

 spinis 9,'^ while the material examined shows that nine is the normal 

 number for the external series, but the internal series numbers eleven.
