882 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. 



National Museum contains over twenty specimens, all from Florida, | 

 except some without la1)els, which are probably from Mississippi. It 

 has been recorded from various localities in the southeastern part of 

 the United States, but the more northern records doubtlessly belong 

 to the next species. Several young specimens refera]>le to this species 

 are uniformly brownish gray in color, but otherwise resemble the 

 adults.

 Phasma {Aniso^norpha) ferruginea Haa^, Bijdr. Kenn. Orth., 1842, p. 101. 



This species is very closely allied to the preceding one. The color 

 is ill general lighter than in huprestoides and usually uniform, and not I 

 conspicuously marked by black stripes as in that species, sometimes 

 with narrow stripes, more often noticeable in the males. The head is 

 usually less noticeably longer than broad, and the body is proportion- 

 ately shorter and broader as tabulated above. The males average 

 less in size and the habitat seems to extend farther north than that of I 

 hujirestoldes. The measurements from a pair from Tallulah, Georgia, 

 are as follows : 



Length of head, male 3mm., female 5.5 mm.; body, male 81 nun., 

 female 50 mm.; fore femora, male 8 mm., female 10 mm.; middle 

 femora, male 5.5 mm., female 8.5 mm.; hind femora, male 8 mm., 

 female 11 mm.; prothorax, male 2.5 mm., female 5 mm.; mesothorax, 

 male 5 mm., female 0.5 mm.; metathorax, male 4 nmi., female 8.5 

 mm.; width of head, male 2 mm., female -1.5 mm. 



This species appears to extend farther north than huprestoides^ ))ut 

 it also occurs in Florida. The specimens in the collection of the United 

 States National Museum are from Florida, Louisiana, Kentucky, and 

 Pennsylvania. 



This species, as well as the preceding one, is said to be able to throw 

 a colored fluid to a considerable distance from the w;'ll-developed scent 

 glands, situated on the thorax. 



TIMlEMmsr^E, new snlafainily. 



This subfamily presents the following characters: 



Antennse longer than the anterior femora; tibiae furnished beneath 

 at the apex with a sunken areola; coxib invisible from above; tarsi 

 three jointed. Intermediary segment as distinct as the rest of the 

 abdominal segments, freely articulated to the thorax and not at all 

 connate with it as in all other of our groups. 



This well-defined subfamily is proposed for the genus Timeina of
