 mological Society, February, 1919, the statement was made that all 

 of the twelve females examined, including the type, were green in

 brown females of Stagmomantis floridensis from Rye. Manatee 

 County, Florida, collected in September and October, 1919. While 

 gray and brownish specimens of Stagmomantis Carolina are not un-

 mens is more pronounced than in the green individuals of the same 

 species. — Wm. T. Davis.
