354 MANTIDAE AND PHASMlDAE OF PANAMA 



male faintly tinged with green. Remaining portion of anterior field of wings 

 transparent, heavily suffused with mummy brown; radiate field transparent, 

 evenly and strongly tinged with mummy brown. Ventral surface smooth and 

 shining, buffy with median portions of sterna suffused with blackish brown and 

 each sternite, to subgenital plate, with a medio-longitudinal oval suffusion of 

 blackish brown (this latter marking apparently an important specific diag- 

 nostic character). 



For the female sex, the measurements of the type are given first. Length 

 of body, d" 39, 9 49.7 and 56; length of pronotum, cf 3.3, 9 4.4 and 4.4; 

 total width of pronotum, cf 4, 9 5.6 and 5.7; length of tegmen, cf 20, 9 28.3 

 and 31.4; greatest tegminal width, cf 4.7, 9 7.5 and 7.9; length of wing, 

 cf 29.2, 9 36.8 and 42.3; length of cephalic femur, cf 8.1, 9 9 and 9.1; 

 greatest width of cephalic femur, cf 2.7, 9 3.7 and 4; length of caudal femur, 

 cf 9.1, 9 10.3 and 10.2; greatest width of caudal femur (between apices of 

 projections), cf 3.1, 9 4.5 and 4.7 mm. 



Ill addition to the type and allotype, a paratypic female, 

 belonging to the United States National IVIuseum, is l)efore us, 

 taken at Paraiso, Canal Zone, Panama, on April 4, 1912, by 

 A. Busck. 



Heteroneminae 

 PSEUDOCEROYS new genus 



This genus is erected to include a new species, harroweri, here 

 descril^ed, and Ceroys bigibbus Kehn, from Nicaragua and Costa 

 Rica. 



Close general resemblance is shown to the heavy type developed 

 in the Pyghirynchine genera Pyghirynchus and Ceroy,s, the 

 present genus being, however, a member of the Heteroneminae 

 (Bacunculinae of Brunner), as the tibiae all lack a triangular 

 impressed area disto-ventrad. 



We place Pseudoceroys after Parapyghirynchus in linear 

 arrangement. These and the related genera, as defined and 

 arranged by Brunner, in the Insektenfamilie der Phasmiden, 

 arc so illogical and unsatisfactory that his treatment must be 

 largely disregarded. ^'- 



Genotype. — Pseudoceroys harroweri new species. 



The following characters serve to separate this genus, known 

 as yet only from the female sex. Tibiae anareolate. Median 

 segment transverse. Form moderately robust. Alxlomen with 

 latero-caudal angles of tergites not si)ecialized, sixth tci-gite 



'2 See llebard, Trans. Am. Ent. See, xlv, pp. 162 and 172, (1919), for the 

 order of the first genera of the Heteroneminae.
