266 BRAZILIAN ORTHOPTERA 



Stagmatoptera predicatoria Saussure 



1870. Sl[agmatoptera] predicatoria Saussure, Mitth. Schw. Entom. Gesell., 

 iii, p. 232. [Brazil.] 



Rio Madeira five hundred miles from mouth. (Mann and 



Baker.) One male. 

 Porto Velho, Rio Madeira. (Mann and Baker.) One male. 

 Igarape de Candelaria, 8° 45' S, 63° 54' W, Rio Madeira. 

 (E. A. Smith.) One male. [Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila.] 

 These specimens are quite typical of the species. 



Vates multilobata (Chopard) 



1910. Zoolea multilobata Chopard, Bull. Soc. Entom. France, 1910, p. 182, 

 figs. 1 and 2. [St. Jean du Maroni, French Guiana.] 



Peixe Boi, east of Para, Para. November 25, 1907. (H. B. 

 Merrill.) One female. 

 This species has been placed in the genus Vates by Giglio- 

 Tos'^ an action with which we fully agree. The very striking 

 greenish white costal edging of the tegmina and the broad 

 fuscous barring of the proximal two-fifths of the humeral trunk 

 of the same, are the most striking color features of the female 

 sex. The large pale stigma interrupts the fuscous bar of the 

 humeral trunk. 



Phasmidae 



pseudophasminae 



Paraphasma conspersum Redtenbacher 



1906. P[araphasma] conspersum Redtenbacher, Die Insektenfam. Phasmid., 

 i, pp. 115 and 117. [Upper Amazonas, Brazil; Para, Brazil.] 



Independencia, Parahyba. (Mann and Heath.) One male. 

 While referred to the present species this specimen shows dif- 

 ferences from the original description, in that it is distinctly 

 smaller and has the tubercle of the tegmina appreciably produced. 

 These features are known to be variable in the allied P. marginale 

 and, as the present individual agrees fully with the other characters 

 of conspersum, we feel justified in considering it to be this species. 



Pseudophasma castaneum (Bates) 



1865. Fhasma castaneum Bates, Trans. Linn. Soc. London, xxv, p. 348.
