The adult female of this dull black, apterous walking-stick 

 is in all but body length smaller than the female originally 

 described. Length of body, 41.8; length of pronotum, 4.3; 

 length of mesonotum, 6.4; length of metanotum incUuHng 

 median segment, 5.3; length of cephalic femur, 11.3; length of 

 median femur, 10.5; length of caudal femur, 14.7 mm. 



The thickening of the antennal segments distad is not con- 

 spicuous in the specimens before us.

It is plain that Redtenbacher made the misidentification noted 

 above. The insect described as muliiUneatus by that autiior 

 from the upper Amazon may represent a closely related species.

The male cerci in multilineatus are directed ventrad and 

 weakly curved, then cephalad and strongly (;urvcd, more slender, 

 rouaded and weakly tapering distad to their rounded apices, 

 armed with an irregular, flattened finger, the apex of which is 

 enlarged, flattened and armed with very minute, scallercMl 

 denticulations." This projection was overlooked by the original 

 describer, probably because, directed cephalad and slightly 

 dorsad, it can not be seen from al)ove or the side. 



The pale portions of head, pronotum, mesonotum, tegmina, 

 anterior field of wings and liml)s are usually richly oriental 

 green. Rarely all of these markings, except those of the tegmiiia 

 and wings, are naples yellow. 



2=- Bolivar describc.-i the male oercus ior fuiripatus as "elongati, apiccm versus 

 intus comprcsso-subam])liatus, ante mediiun biramosi, ramo antico brevi, 

 spiniformi, postico magis clongato, subcylindrico."
