MORGAN HEBARD 331 



Through the kindness of its sponsor, a paratj'pic male of 

 fuscescens Chopard, from St. Laurent du Alaroni, P>ench 

 Guiana, is in the author's collection. Comparison satisfies us 

 of the synonymy of this name as well. Specimens in the series 

 here recorded are in every way similar, the general darkening 

 being slight and representing merely a weak intensification of 

 the normal coloration. In many species of the Mantidae, the 

 difference between the extremes of recessive and intensive colora- 

 tion are much greater.

Though the size variation is considerable, the extremes here 

 measured are connected up by a complete gradation in the large 

 series at hand.
