Series before us of adults and immature examples of both this 

 species and M. brachypyga, 12 prove that M. orthostylus of Caudell, 

 the unique type of which is before us, is an absolute synonym of the 

 present insect, based on a male in the instar preceding maturity. 

 The relative proportions of the distal abdominal segments in both 

 sexes, which readily separate adults of tenuescens and brachypyga, 

 as readily separate immature individuals of the two species. Until 

 the adult condition is reached, the male cerci of both species are 

 straight, pilose and delicate in structure; those of tenuescens being 

 decidedly shorter than the disto-dorsal abdominal segment and 

 those of brachypyga slightly longer than that segment. 



In the clog fennel, Eupatorium compositifolium Walt., at" Cumber- 

 land Island, a climbing vine, Bradburya virginiana (L.) Kuntze, was 

 frequently encountered; the elongate green pods of this vine, resting 

 in the dog fennel, bore a remarkable resemblance to the bodies of 

 the female walking-sticks there found. 



The species is decidedly a Lower Austral and Sabalian type, 

 previously known only from Florida. The material before us was 

 found about a sink hole surrounded by a few gum trees in low weeds 

 and plants and scant grasses (Winter Park), in bunch grass in a sandy 

 scrub-oak area just above the fall line (Augusta), on dark wet ground 

 covered with low swamp plants (Homerville), in dog fennel in long- 

 leaf pine woods (Cumberland Island, Jacksonville) and in the low 

 undergrowth of the long-leaf pine woods (Live Oak).
