184 BULLETIN: MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 
CUPIPES BRASILIENSIS (Humbert and Saussure). 
Cormocephalus brasiliensis Humbert et Saussure, Rev. mag. zool., 1870, ser. 2, 
22, p. 203; Saussure et Humbert, Etude Myr. 1872, p. 124, pl. 6, fig. 17. 
Cupipes brasiliensis Brélemann, Cat. Myr. Brésil, 1909, p. 8. 
Locality.— Brazil. 
This species was regarded, doubtfully, as the same as C. ungulatis 
Meinert by Meinert as well as by Kraepelin. But, as pointed out by 
Brélemann, and as indicated in the key above, the presence of the 
dorsal spines on the second joint of the anal legs seems clearly to 
separate brasiliensis from Meinert’s species. At any rate, until the 
Brazilian fauna is better known, or specimens of wngulatis are shown 
to present the important variation mentioned, it would be quite 
premature to ignore this characteristic. 
CUPIPES SPINIFER Kraepelin. 
Revis. Scolop., 1903, p. 177, fig. 117. 
Locality.— State of Paré: Para (type locality). 
Known from a single specimen in the Hamburg Museum. 
CUPIPES UNGULATIS Meinert. 
Proc. Amer. Philos. soc., 1886, 23, p. 187; Brdlemann, Rev. Museu Paulista, 
1903, 6, p. 64; Cat. Myr. Brésil, 1909, p. 9. 
Localities — State of Pernambuco:. Pernambuco! (type locality) ; 
State of Amazonas: Mandos (sec. Brélemann). 
CUPIPES UNGULATIS MITIS Brélemann. 
Rev. Museu Paulista, 1903, 6, p.65; Cat. Myr. Brésil, 1909, p. 9. 
Locality.— State of Amazonas: Manaos (type locality). 
This and the preceding form are known at present from too few 
specimens to be able properly to judge of their precise relationship. 
Considerable variation has already been noted in the spining of the 
prefemur of C. wngulatis; and it may prove not possible to segregate 
the forms on the basis of this character.
