female, same data as preceding except February 14, 1961; one male, 
“Caiuba”’, Parana, Brazil, September 25, 1960 (N. Marston) (Kansas State 
University). 
S. nargena, n. sp., differs from all other species in the genus in the 
paraphyses which partially overlie the aedeagal shaft in lateral view. In all 
other species they extend beneath the shaft. 
Scopogonalia paula, NEW SPECIES 
FIGURE 438, PAGE 533 
Length of male 4.8-5.1 mm. Head with median length of crown varying 
from one-half to slightly more than one-half interocular width, and from 
approximately three-tenths to slightly less than one-third transocular width. 
Forewing greenish subhyaline, veins dark; hindleg with length of first tar- 
somere greater than combined length of two more distal tarsomeres. Male 
style with a strong acutangular apical projection extending at a right angle 
from long axis of shank; aedeagus with a ventroapical acutangular process 
directed ventrally; rami of paraphyses extending ventrally beneath aedeagal 
shaft, the apices of the two rami curved slightly posterodorsally at their 
apices. 
Color of crown, anterior portion of pronotum and most of scutellum, 
yellow, remainder of dorsum dark greenish, crown with a narrow transverse 
dark stripe on disk, basal angles of scutellum black (but mostly concealed 
beneath pronotum); face pale with a median fuscous linear area on clypellus 
and with or without a pair of fuscous lines on clypeus; proepimeron with a 
black area beneath dorsopleural carina, mesosternum black; remainder of ven- 
ter and legs, yellow. 
Holotype male, Sao Paulo, S. P., Brazil, June, 1961 (Krauss) and two ad- 
ditional males, Ribeiro Pires, Brazil, May, 1954 and June 28, 1961 (N.L.H. 
Krauss) (USNM). 
S. paula, n. sp., is similar to S. echinura, n. sp., from which it may be distin- 
guished by the characters used in the key and by the conspicuous angular 
apical aedeagal projection which is not present in echinura. 
Scopogonalia echinura, NEW SPECIES 
FiGURE 439, PAGE 535 
Length of male and female 6.0 mm. Head with median length of crown 
varying from slightly more than four-tenths to slightly less than one-half in- 
terocular width and approximately one-fourth to three-tenths transocular 
width. Forewing hyaline, veins concolorous; hindleg with length of first tar- 
somere approximately equal to combined length of two more distal tarso- 
meres. Male style obliquely truncate at apex, without a strong angular apical 
projection; aedeagus with a small ventral acutangular process at apex, shaft 
not sagittate apically in caudoventral view; paraphyses extending below shaft
