62 ORTHOPTEROUS GROUP INSARAE 



Measuretncnts {in millimeters) of individuals treated above 



The females before us indicate that in this sex the tegmina are more or 

 less shorter than in the males. 



Color Notes. — The coloration of the two specimens here treated 

 fully is almost exactly like that of the female of intermedia, the 

 coloration of which is described in the present paper under that 

 species. The specimens before us from Nicaragua are, however, 

 more fuscous, and the coloration o'f one individual indicates that 

 in life it was much suffused with pale green of an olive shade. 



Distribution. — The species is now known to range from Castillo, 

 Nicaragua southward to Colon, Panama. 



Synonymy. — No synonyms of the present species exist, but, in 

 1895, Bruner recorded this species as the related I. tolteca and also 

 the very different South American fasciata of Brunner (which 

 latter species, though described as a member of the genus Hor- 

 milia, does not agree with that genus in certain characters of great 

 importance). 



Saussure and Pictet also included three specimens of the present 

 species in the series of I. tolteca recorded by them in the Biologia 



in 1897. 



Remarks. — The placing of this species apart from tolteca and 

 intermedia by Saussure and Pictet in the Biologia Centrali-Ameri- 

 cana, would certainly not have taken place had they recognized 

 specimens of the insect in their collections; the forking of the 

 median vein of the tegmina can not be used to separate these 

 three species. 



Spedvicns Examined: 9; 4 males, 5 females. 



Castillo, Nicaragua, February and March, 1893, (B. Shiraek), Id', 39.
