Genus STATILIA Stil. 



1877. StatiUa Stal, Bihan2;'till K. Svenska Vet.-Akad. Handlingar, Band 4, 

 No. 10, pp. 36, 55. 



Included Pseudomanfis nemoralis and Mantis apicalis Saussure, of 

 which the former may l)e selected as the type.^ 



Statilia maoulata (Tlmnberg .and Lundahl). 



1784. M[antis] maculata Tlmnberg and Lundalil, Dissert. Entomolog., Pt. 

 Ill, p."61. [Japan.] 



Thirty-eight specimens; fourteen males, twenty-four females: 

 Yokohama, Japan. (Loomis.) [A. N. CaudelL] 

 Kioto, Japan. (Y. Hirase, No. 29.) [A. N. S. Phila.] 

 Trong, Lower Siam. (Dr. W. L. Abbott.) [U. S. N. M.] 

 Goenong Soegi, Lampong, Sumatra. October-November, 1901. 

 (A. C. Harrison, Jr., and Dr. H. M. Hiller.) [A. N. 8. Phila.] 



After a critical examination of the above rather extensive series, I 

 agree with Bolivar^ that maculata and Jtaani are inseparable. The 

 difference in size in the series examined is, I admit, rather startling, the 

 extremes in total length being 39.5 and 61.5 mm., Init intermediates 

 between these form a completely connected series. The Kioto series 

 alone contains the two extremes and a great number of intermediates. 

 The coloration of the whole series is rather uniform, but several are 

 dull blackish-l)rown instead of the usual grayish-brown. 



Genus TENODERA Burmeister. 

 1S3S. Tenodera Burmeister, Handb. der Entom., II, p. 534. 



Included fasciata Olivier (=superstitiosa Fabricius). cJdoreudeta 

 {=aridifolia Stoll), and tessellata {=australasia' Leach). Of these the 

 first may be selected as the type. 



'' The genus Pscudomantis Saussure (Bull. Soc. Ent. Suisse, III, pp. 56, 228) 

 contained two species, alhofimbriata Stal and nemoralis Saussure. As Stal 

 removed nemoralis to Statilia and left albofimbriafa in Pseudomantis, the latter 

 can be regarded as the type of Saussure's genus. j
