Subfamily ANISOMORPHIN.E. 

 Genus DECIDIA StM. 

 — 1875. Decidia Stal, Recensio Orthopterorum, III, pp.- 57 and 96. 

 Type. — Phasma soranus Westwood. 



Decidia soranus (Westwood)? 



1859. Phasma Soranus Westwood, Cat. Orth. Ins. Brit. Mus., I, p. 127, 

 PI. XVII, fig. 3. ["In Colombia regione frigida Quindensi."] 



One immature female; La Paz, Bolivia. [A. N. S. Phila.] 

 This specimen shows rudiments of the tegmina and wings, and while 

 resembling Westwood's figure of soranus very closely in general ap- 

 pearance, it is much smaller {circa 45 mm.) than even the immature 

 condition of the specimen would seem to warrant. The metatarsi are 

 much shorter than in the figure of soranus, and the probabilities are 

 that mature Bolivian specimens will show the existence of a form 

 distinct from the type species. 



Subfamily PSEUDOPHASMIN.E.*« 

 Genus STRATOCLES Stai. 

 1875. Stratocles Stal, Recensio Orthopterorum, III, pp. 57 and 96. 



Type. — Stratocles cinctipes Stal. 

 Stratocles multilineatus n. sp. 



Type. — d^ ; San Carlos, Costa Rica. (Schild and Burgdorf.) [Cat. 

 No. 7,347, U. S. N. M.] 



Near S. forcipatus Bolivar," with which it agrees fairly well in general 

 measurements, but is separated by a number of other characters. 

 Some slight resemblance appears to exist to the insufficiently described 

 Phasma hennettii Gray. 



Size small; form moderately elongate. Head slightly depressed, 

 subequal in width; ocelli large; eyes ovate, prominent; antennae 

 somewhat exceeding the body in length, basal joint subquadrate, 

 second joint cylindrical, equal to the basal joint in length. Pronotum 



^ I have followed Kirby (Trans. Linn,. Soc. London, n. ser., VI, pp. 473-474) 

 in using this name for the Phasmidce of Brunner.
