Panchlora nivea Linnaeus. 



Blaita nivea Linn., Syst. Nat., ed. x, i, 424, 1758. 

 Panchlora nivea Bruno., Nouv. Syst. Blatt., 274, 1S65. 

 Panchlora nivea Giglio-Tos, Zool., Jahr. , viii, 805, 1895. 



Three males, two females, October to March. 



Panchlora thalassina Saussure and Zehntner. 



Panchlora thalassina Sauss. and Zehnt., Biol. Cent.-Amer., Orth., i, 93, 1893! 



One male, one female, February. 



The species of this genus are quite closely allied to each other and 

 I believe that some synonymy may be expected among them. 



Latindia sp. ? 



The collection contains one male specimen, which is unfortunately 

 in such poor condition as to permit of only a doubtful generic determi- 

 nation. 



Family MANTID^. 

 Mantoida brunneriana Saussure. 



ChiFtessa brunneriana Sauss., Mem. Mex., iv, 14, 187 1. 

 Alantoida brunneriana Westw., Synop. Mant., I, 18S9. 



One male nymph, March. 



Musonia livida Serville. 



Thespis livida Serv. , Orth., 172, 1839. 

 Alusonia livida, Westw. Synop. Mant., 6, 18S9. 



Three males, January, February. 



These specimens agree very well with the original description of 

 Serville. The specific characters there given, together with the generic 

 characters exhibited by the specimens themselves, make me quite sure 

 of the correctness of the determination. The borders of the protho- 

 rax in these specimens are very finely serrate and one specimen is of 

 an obscure greenish color. The exact measurements are as follows : 



Total length, 34 mm.; anterior femora, 8 mm.; anterior tibia, ex- 

 clusive of the apical spur, 3 mm.; intermediate femora, 8.5 mm.; pos- 

 terior femora, 12 mm.; elytra, 25 mm.; wing, 23 mm.; cerci, 3 mm.; 

 supra-anal plate, 3 mm.; width of supra -anal plate at the base, i mm. 



The genus Musonia has a superficial resemblance to Oxyops/^ but 

 structurally it falls into quite a different group. 



*The genus Oxyops of Saussure, described in 1869, is preoccupied by Oxyops 

 Schonh., a genus of Coleoptera described in 1826. For the orthopterous genus I 

 propose the name Oxyopsis.
