The type of Audreia marginata Caudell, now before us, when 

 compared with the series at hand, shows beyond question the 

 synonymy indicated above. A slight superficial resemblance is 

 shown by females of this species to females of Audreia carinulata 

 Saussure. Close observation, however, shows that these species 

 are members of different subfamilies. 



The slight triangular invasion of the dark coloration of the pro- 

 notal disk meso-cephalad, into the pale lateral wings, is a feature 

 shown also by Colapteroblatta compsa Hebard and Poroblatta cylind- 

 rica Hebard. 



'7" Probably including Panama, at that time part of Colombia. This is, in all likeli- 

 hood, the same specimen subsequently considered by Saussure and Zehntner, recorded by 

 them from Panama.
