REHN AND HEBARD 263 



Color Notes. — Males. Head, pronotuiii, thorax, togmina and 

 base of abdomen forest green; the niedio-dorsal stripe of head 

 and pronotum brownish oUve and weakly defined with no trace 

 of pale lateral coloration. Eyes dark brown. All femora tawny, 

 genicular areas of caudal femora deep bay, tibiae tawny strongly 

 washed with green. All of abdomen excepting basal portion 

 mahogany red, cerci of the same color. In the females the 

 coloration is less intense, the abdomen Ijeing decidedly less vivid.^- 



The perfect material before us shows the following armament 

 of the ventro-cephalic margins of the cephalic and median tibiae: 

 Number of spines, 6-6 6-7 7-7 7-8 



Specimens with cephalic tibiae so armed, 4 12 1 



Specimens with median tibiae so armed, 6 8 3 



Two specimens of this series have one of the ventro-caudal 

 margins of the cephalic tibiae armed with but five spines, while 

 one individual has the ventro-caudal margin of one of the median 

 tibiae armed with seven spines. 



The genicular lobes of the caudal femora are normally bispinose, 

 a single specimen in the series before us has one of these lobes 

 unispinose. The ventro-external margins of the caudal femora 

 are armed in the seventeen perfect specimens before us as follows: 

 Number of spines, 1-2 2-3 2-4 3-3 3-4 3-5 



Number of specimens, 12 15 4 1 



Number of spines, 4-4 4-5 4-7 



Number of specimens. 111 



The present species is known from Punta di Sabana and Colon, 

 Panama, in addition to the original localities and those given 

 below. It appears to be generally distributed at somewhat 

 higher elevations than salfafor. The coloration suggests to us 

 the possibility of the insect being an inhabitant of the luxuriant 

 vegetation in and about the forests rather than the grasslands. 



Specimens Examined: 19; 6 males, 11 females and 2 immature males.

"The females before us from South America are much discolored; such 

 poorly preserved material is foimd to lose almost all traces of distinctive color-
