The two specimens recorded in the paper cited above prove to belong 

 to Bormans' species. A very interesting character, omitted from 

 Bormans' brief diagnosis, is the extremely short and transverse supra- 

 anal plate. 

 Calidomantis equalis'* n. sp. 



Type: ? ; Zulu Mission, South Africa. [A. N. S. Phila.] 



Allied to C. semialata (Saussure),*^ but differing in the more robust 

 anterior portion of the pronotum, the higher and less depressed head, 

 and the more equal and less arcuate costal field of the tegmina. The 

 species described by Schulthess as Miomantis saussurei,^^ while very 

 closely related to the new form, can readily be distinguished by the 

 slender and attenuate anterior portion of the pronotum. 



Size rather small. Head broad, compressed, the superior margin 

 arcuate ; eyes subtriangular in basal outline, the lateral portion shghtly 

 produced; antennae minute, weak; facial scutellum strongly trans- 

 verse, superior margin with a median rounded lobe flanked laterally 

 by a concave sinuosity. Pronotum subequal in width, the anterior por- 

 tion exceeding the posterior part in width and slightly less than half the 

 length of the latter; anterior margin rotundatc-truncate, lateral mar- 

 gins finely denticulate; amplication slight, rounded. Tegmina rather 

 short, lanceolate, apex moderately acute; costal field subequal in 

 width; anterior margin evenly and regularly arcuate. Wings about 

 equal to the tegmina in length. Abdomen fusiform, moderately 

 depressed; supra-anal plate elongate, lanceolate, extending to the tip 

 of the compressed subgenital plate; cerci but slightly exceeding the 

 supra-anal plate in length. Anterior coxae about four-fifths the length 

 of the pronotum, margins finely denticulate; anterior femora very 



^^ In relation to the broad and equal anterior portion of the pronotum.
