STUDIES IN THE DERMAPTERA AND ORTHOPTERA 
OF COLOMBIA 
SF.COXD PAPER 
Dermaptera and Orthopterous Families Blattidae, 
Mantidae and Phasmidae 
BY MORGAN HEBARD 
Since our first paper of this series,^ very important collections 
have been received from our friends, Hermano Apolinar Maria, 
of the Instituto de la Salle, at Bogota, and iVIr. M. A. C'arriker, 
Jr., of Santa iVlarta. As a result, our second paper furnishes 
additional data on the same sections treated in our first study. 
Of the material here considered two collections are of partic- 
ular importance, in being from two faunal areas virtually un- 
known from an Orthopterological jioint of vievL 
The largest of these is from the border of the Llanos in the 
Orinoco drainage, at Villavicencio, Intendencia del i\Ieta, 1400 
feet, and at Susumuco, Cundinamarca, 2600 feet. The latter 
locality is apparently not as rich as the former, lieing at an ele- 
vation over a thousand feet higher on the eastern slope of the 
Eastern Andes. Though Villavicencio is on the edge of the 
Llanos, the material so far studied would appear to be all, or in 
large part, from the lower mountain forest, similar to, but proli- 
ably richer than, the forests about Susumuco. In this series 
thirty species are here recorded, of which seven are described as 
new. This material was secured from time to time for Hermano 
Maria and foiuvarded to us for study. 
The other collection of particular interest was made by ]\Ir. 
Carriker on a trip through the Colombian Choco, during the 
summer of 1918. The material here recorded is from El Tambo, 
Boca Murindo and Murindo, Intendencia del Choco, and from 
Andagoya in that portion of Antioquia Avhich extends into the, 
region known as the Choco. Of the eighteen species here re- 
corded, five are new to science.
