210 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



em California and Lower California ; it may be called L. obscura. I 

 have also females from Utah and New Mexico which may belong to 

 either of the above. Still another species occurs in Northern California, 

 in the Shasta region, in which the wings are feebly and uniformly fuligi- 

 nous, having no sub-basal fuligino-fuscous spot ; it may be called L. 

 pacifica. In all of them the front border of the tegmina is griseo- 

 pellucid, and thus different from the Sonoran L. ocularis ; this last 

 species comes nearest L. minor. The males in this genus are fully 

 winged, the females brachypterous and of a very different appearance. 



Phasmomantis Saussure. 

 P. sumichrasti Sauss., a Mexican species, is reported by Saussure 

 and Zehntner (Biol. Centr. Amer., Orth., 149) as found in Texas. I have 

 seen no specimen of the genus from the United States. 



Callimantis Stal. 



I place in this genus a single spfecies which differs considerably from 

 the type, C. antillarum (Sauss.), in general livery and in lacking any 

 apical spine to the hind femora. It is an undescribed species from 

 Florida,, a trifle smaller than C. antillarum and closely resembling a 

 miniature Stagmomantis Carolina. It may be called C. floridana. I have 

 only seen the male, which was probably green in life, but is now 

 uniformly testaceous, the tegmina hyaline, without stigma, the costal 

 margin like the rest, and the first ulnar branch completely simple ; the 

 wings are hyaline, but are rather sparsely tessellate with fuscous in their 

 posterior third, and the ulnar vein is simple ; the proportions and general 

 shape of the pronotum are those of Stagjn. Carolina, and, as there, it is 

 unarmed ; the anterior upper margin of the fore coxae is armed with 

 slight, distant spines, and the hind femora and tibiae are tipped apically 

 with fuscous. The expanse of the tegmina is 45 mm. 



Stagmomantis Saussure. 



Of this genus I can recognize but two species, T. Carolina (Linn.) 

 and S. limbata (Hahn), readily distinguished by the great and uniform 

 width of the costal field of the tegmina in the % of the latter, where it is 

 nearly one-third the entire width of the tegmina, and the green colour and 

 opacity of the same field in the ^ . The former species is strongly 

 dimorphic in the $ , one form (carolina) having the tegmina strongly 

 mottled with fuscous and the wings strongly fuliginous throughout, with a 

 deep patch at the apex ; the other (dimidiata), which is generally
