12. Stagmomantis montana, sp. n. (Tab. IX. fig. 4.) 



$ . Yalida, tota prasina ; pronoti ampliatione elliptica, marginibus lateralibus minus arcuatis. S. limbatce 

 simillima, at major ; differt tamen scutello faciali elevatiore, quam altiore vix duplo latiore ; alis fere 

 omnino fasciis flavis tessellatis, tantum usque ad venam mediam coriaceis. 



3 . Prasina. Caput minutum, late trigonale ut in S. dimidiata. Yertex transversus, quam oculi haud altior. 

 Scutellum faciale superne subsinuatum. Pronoti ampliatio paulo magis ovata quam in $. dimidiata 3 , 

 minus quam in S. dimidiata 2 • Elytra vitrea, stigmate nullo, campo marginali viridi valde opaco, basi 

 latiusculo, margine costali valde arcuato, dehinc sinuato, ultra medium fere nullum. Alse vitrea3, margine 

 antieo et apice virescentibus ; vena ulnari ultra medium furcata, area ulnari oblique venulosa. 



2 • Long. 75 ; pronot. 28*5, femor. ant. 20*5, elytr. 34, latit. elytr. 14-25 millim. 



c? . Long. 58 ; pronot. 21-5, femor. ant. 14, elytr. 51, latit. elytr. 11 millim. 



Hab. Mexico, Acapulco, Tepetlapa, and Chilpancingo in Guerrero (H. H. Smith), 

 Cordova (Hoge) ; Guatemala, Volcan de Atitlan, 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion). 



This species is very similar to S. limbata, but the female has its facial shield more 

 elevated, being half as high as broad, while in S. limbata it is three times broader 

 than high. In the male the costal margin of the elytra is distinctly wider at the base, 

 and in consequence more sinuated than in S. limbata.
