Genus Uranotaenia. 
253 
Habitat .—Buenos Ayres (Arribalzaga); Sao Paulo (Dr. Lutz). 
Observations .—The above description is partly compiled from 
Arribalzaga’s work. Specimens were sent me by Dr. Lutz, but 
were much damaged in transit, so I have been unable to com¬ 
pletely redescribe this species in uniformity with the rest. 
It seems to be chiefly distinguished by the unbanded legs 
and the absence of any blue ornamentation in the middle of the 
mesonotum. 
Dr. Lutz tells me it occurs in the littoral zone in Brazil, but 
only sparingly.
