orange-red spots on the pronotum alone being sometimes ferrugineous 
or yellowish; in the latter case sometimes confluent, and forming a 
more or less extended transverse line. 
4. PROSOPIS PAULISTANA new species 
Male.—Length, 514 mm.; abdomen, 11%4 mm. wide; antenne, 3% 
mm.; wings, 5 mm. Black; with yellow markings: the clypeus, a 
spot above it, the sides of the face, the inner orbits of the eyes, the 
collar, the tegulz in front, the tubercles of the thorax, the scutellum, 
the apex of the anterior femora, the tibiz in front and inside, the 
tarsi, the posterior tibiae at apex and the tarsi (the second pair of 
legs is wanting) ; the rest of the legs dark brown. ~The abdominal 
segments at their apex fringed with distinct fascia of white hairs. 
The wings are hyaline, with a faint cloud in the marginal cell extend- 
ing to the apex of the wing and becoming less distinct in the first 
cubital and the apex of the marginal cell. 
Head densely punctured, mesonotum with deep, large, and dense 
punctures, those on the pleurz deep but scattered. Metanotum trun- 
cate, the truncation covered with pale hairs, the basal space shining, 
small, with a longitudinal median furrow and a trapezoidal smooth 
space on each side; the apex surrounded by short and low radiating 
strie. Abdomen densely covered with fine punctures that become 
gradually smaller on each segment, being hardly distinguishable from 
the fourth segment to the apex. The second segment near its base 
with a deep transversal depression. The neuration of the wings as 
in P. polybioides. 
Habitat—State of S. Paulo, Brazil, October 10, 1901, described
