116 COLOMBIAN DERMAPTERA AND ORTHOPTERA 



the. present species before us is even smaller than the material 

 here treated, with interocular space narrower.^'^ 



Type. — cf ; La Cumbre, Cordillera Occidental, Cauca, Colom- 

 bia. Elevation, 6600 feet. May 15, 1914. (H. S. Parish.) 

 [Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Type No. 5346.] 



Size medium large, form moderately broad, when compared with the species 

 of nearest affinity. Head with eyes very broad in front; eyes separated by a 

 brief space, in width about one-sixth the greatest diameter of the eye.'^ Pro- 

 notum and tegmina of normal form, the clear margins of these parts somewhat 

 tessellate with greenish and in consequence somewhat opaque. Supra-anal 

 plate rounded subrectangular, transverse distad but produced beyond apex of 

 produced subgenital plate, dorsal surface weakly concave; lateral margins 

 straight and longitudinal to broadly rounded disto-lateral angles, this convexity 

 continued on the caudal margin, thus forming a moderate obtuse-angulate 

 emargination mesad. Cerci small, more elongate than in bidentula but of sim- 

 ilar form, extending well beyond supra-anal plate, tapering gently and evenly 

 to flattened, narrow and rather sharply rounded apex. Subgenital plate trans- 

 verse, roughly triangularly bilobate produced, the sinistral produced portion 

 broadest, reaching from base of sinistral style to mesal point, the dextral pro- 

 duction adjacent, brief, the area of these productions bent dorsad. Very 

 slender, straight, cylindrical styles are situated on the free margin of the sub- 

 genital plate at the inner margins of the cereal bases ; the sinistral extending 

 beyond distal margin of supra-anal plate to base of slender apical portion of 

 cercus, two-thirds as long as cercus; the dextral very slightly shorter. P'emora 

 with normal hairs and spines extremely delicate. 



Allotype. — 9 ; same data as type, but taken May 18, 1914. 

 [Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.] 



Size larger than male, form proportionately broader. Head with interoc- 

 ular space broader, three-fifths as wide as greatest ocellar width; the eyes, 

 however, decidedly narrower than in male. Pronotum ample, proportionatelj^ 

 distinctly larger than in females of cubensis. Tegmina elongate and broad, 

 proportionately broader than in females of cubensis. Genitalia showing no 

 differences from cubensis, of the characteristic tyjoe found in the plain green 

 species of the genus.

'^ The female type of pimctum is described as having ample pronotum and 

 much wider interocular space than the females of colombiae. 



'^ In the recorded series of P. bidentula, one male from Caparo, Trinidad, 

 has the interocular space fully as wide.
