346 MANTIDAE AND PHASMIDAE OF PANAMA 



In the male the coloration of tegmina and wings is much like 

 that of the same sex of P. chlor-ophaea (Blanchard), except that 

 the opaque distal area in the discoidal field of the tegmina is 

 even less extensive, occupying only an area of the apical portion 

 toward the discoidal vein no wider than the marginal field. 



Length of body, 61; length of frontal process, .8; length of 

 pronotum, 25.6; length of pronotal shaft, 21.3; length of tegmen, 

 41; width of tegminal marginal field, 3.8; length of cephalic 

 coxa, 11 mm. 



PHASMIDAE 



Though the fifty-nine specimens here recorded represent only 

 a small portion of the walking-sticks known from Panama, it 

 is of interest to note that four of the sixteen species treated are 

 new. 



The following Phasmidae, already known from Panama, are 

 not represented in the collections before us from that region. 

 Stratocles cmctipes Stal (103),^'* Tejierella tenerrima Redtenbacher 

 (109), Agrostia amoejia Redtenbacher (110), Brizoides nigri- 

 cornis Redtenbacher (112), Brizoides grafninea Redtenbacher 

 (113), Brizoides lacteiyennis Redtenbacher (113), Chlorophasma 

 hyalina Redtenbacher (114), Perliodes grisescens Redtenbacher 

 (137), Perliodes nigro-granulosus Redtenbacher (138), Metriotes 

 diodes Westwood (140), Damasijjjms fuscipes Redtenbacher 

 (147), Damasippus ivestwoodi Stal (148), Damasippus striatus 

 Redtenbacher (149). Oncotophasma armata (Brunner) (317), 

 Dyme discors Brunner (324), Dyme modesta Brunner (324), 

 Dyme chiriquensis Brunner (325), Calynda bicuspis Stal (329), 

 Phantasis lobata Redtenbacher (408), Bosira dorsuaria StM 

 (408), Bostra lobata Redtenbacher (408), Bostra podagrica StS.1 

 (409), Bacteria nodulosa Redtenbacher (416). 



Forty species of Phasmidae are now recorded from Panama. 

 We feel, however, that it is very probable additional synonymy 

 will be found in the genera Dyme, Calynda and Bostra. 



^^ Tlie numbers in parentheses after the names indicate the page number 

 in the " Insektcnfamilie der Phasmiden" on which the species is treated.
