Hab. Amazons. 



Walker correctly localized his P. varipennis as from Para, 

 and P '. viridissima as from "Tocant," an abbreviation for 

 the well-known Tocantins River. This, however, has not 

 prevented it being considered a synonym of the Australian 

 species C. peracuta, by both Melichar and Kirkaldy. 



Acanalonia laurifolia.

Hab. Amazons. 



Dr. Melichar has treated this species as a synonym of 

 A. servillei, from which, however, it differs in the transverse 

 and much less anteriorly angulated vertex. 



Acanalonia complanata.
