The Cincinnati and San Antonio specimens are dark brown in 

 general coloration and richly colored, agreeing in all respects with 

 Mexican individuals before us. The Santa Marta individual is 

 green.

These huge Mantids are the largest examples of the species yet 

 reported. They appear in every way typical, except that the 

 marginal field of the male tegmen is much narrower than in a 

 male before us from Igarape-assu, Para, Brazil, and distinctly 

 narrower than in the first male of the species recorded, from La 

 Mana, Guiana, as given by Saussure. The differences are suffi- 

 cient to indicate possible racial or even specific distinction, for 

 among the Mantidae the width of this field is usually extremely 

 constant and an important specific diagnostic feature. Without 

 more material, however, we do not feel justified in attempting 

 separation in the present case.
