146 COLOMBIAN DERMAPTERA AND ORTHOPTERA 



[)inched proximad. Pronotum longer than wide, surface shining, very feel:)ly 

 roughened, transverse sulcus distinct, medio-longitudinal sulcus very weak. 

 Mesonotum shining, feebly roughened ; armed with two pairs of small conical pro- 

 jections cephalo-laterad, and with a few (three and four) nodes proximo-mesad 

 ,on the lateral margins. Metanotum and dorsal surface of atidomen polished, 

 very feebly roughened; median and succeeding dorsal abdominal segments to 

 and including sixth each supplied mesad, immediately before the caudal mar- 

 gin, with a minute, depressed, triangular projection, directed caudad. Supra- 

 anal plate convex, slightly broader than long, lateral margins straight and 

 parallel to a minute obtuse-angulate emargination, thence convex to the small, 

 but decided, meso-distal emargination; thus the distal portion of the plate is 

 bilobate, the free margins of these lobes thickened and armed ventrad with 

 numerous and very minute teeth. Cerci straight, cylindrical, with apex 

 bluntly rounded. Subgenital plate convex, short. Limbs moderately elon- 

 gate; femora rounded dorsad, moderately deplanate laterad and weakly 

 sulcate latero-distad ; tibiae rounded; tarsi heavily supplied with hairs ventrad, 

 so that the pulvilli are visible only meso-distad. Arolia small. 



Allotype. — 9 ; same data as type. [Hebard Collection.] 

 Agrees with type except in the following features. Size much larger. 

 Occipital sulci much weaker, subobsolete. The two pairs of conical projections 

 of the mesonotum and the nodes (four and four) of the lateral margins more 

 pronounced. Abdominal segments unarmed meso-distad. Supra-anal plate 

 convex. Operculum with base on line with that of seventh dorsal abdominal 

 segment, extending to apex of abdomen, with lateral margins weakly convex 

 to the acute apex. 



Measuretnents {in millimeters) 



General coloration solid blackish chestnut brown, limbs paler distad, shading 

 there to ochraceous-tawny. Antennae blackish brown, strikingly buffy at the 

 intersections of the joints. 



The type and allotype are all we have seen of this interesting 

 insect. 



PSEUDOPHASMINAE 

 Stratocles viridis now species (Plate XXI, fig. 1.) 



This insect is distinctive in having almost the entire dorsal sur- 

 face, excepting the head, green, and tlu; caudal aiea of the wings 

 dark, except for a large circular mesal white area. In this latter 

 respect the insect agrees alone with N. rufipea Redtenbacher, ])ut 

 differs in the considerably lai-ger size, much more extensive green 

 coloration and other differences of color distribution.
