These specimens clearly represent this interesting species, 
which has been suliject to some vicissitudes in its interpretation 
in the past. We know little concerning the extent of its distribu- 
tion and almost nothing about its color variations. The present 
specimens have the pronotum colored exactly as in P. canotus, a 
specimen of which is also before us, but colliurides differs in being 
larger, with solidly colored tegmina and much more decidedly 
projecting wings. Stal, in the original description, refers to the 
subchitinous exposed portions of the wings as cerci, saying also, 
“alae nullae,” a pardonable error, for such it is the figure demon- 
strates. Saussure’’^ has added a touch of confusion to this 
species by giving 20.5 mm. as the length, an evident error for 
9.5 or 10.5, as the remainder of the measurements would show. 
Stal gives the length as 9| mm. 
The figure given by Burmeister as colliurides-^ does not represent 
the species as we understand it from the above, practically 
topotypic, material.
