COLOMBIAN DERMAPTERA AND ORTHOPTERA 
This species, though not strictly domiciliary, is more often 
encountered about human habitations than elsewhere, and its 
wide distribution in tropical and subtropical America is, in all 
probability, largely due to its carriage by human agencies.

We hasten to place our genus Pycnosceloides in synonymy under 
Panchlora, and the single described species, aporus, as a syn- 
onym of cnhensis. 
Breeding experiments, undertaken by us recently in Colombia, 
proved that the dark brown apterous individuals, upon which we 
based our description of a new genus and species, are no more 
than the immature condition of the present species, adults of 
which are a very pale green, with fully developed tegmina and 
wings. The size of immatures, which in the last instar is fre- 
quently as large as that of many adult females of the species, the 
coloration, very different and widely separated eyes, truncate 
pronotum and heavily chitinous supra-anal plate, led us into this 
deplorable error, from which the similarity of limb armament 
might jiossibly have saved us, had it been noted at the time.

Individual size variation is veiy slight in the Villavicencio and

sexes.
