Specimens said to be from the Brazils (very likely from the Northern 
provinces) also belong to this species ; but others from Minas Geraes 
and St. Paul are distinct species. I will take the next opportunity and 
describe the various small species belonging to this little group, so 
closely allied to that of Eusc. hamatus and Eusc. aureolas , but having 
the shoulders obtuse.
