authors ; but now that the error has been discovered, the apterous genus Bacillus (an 

 inconvenient name at best) sinks as a synonym of Fhasitm; and the winged genus 

 Phas))ia, auct., with necydaloldes as the type, may be called Fseudophasma. This 

 will involve a little alteration of the subfamilies, for Brunner's BacilUdce must now 

 be called Phasmince, and his Phasmidce must be called FseudophasmincB. 



Stratocles bogotensis, sp. n. 



Male. Black. Head black above, antennge black, pubescent, face and under surface 

 rufous ; ocelli yellow. Two yellow lines run from the ocelli, and two more on each side, 

 one behind each eye, and another, broader, below each eye, all slighly converging to the 

 occijmt ; there is a green spot above each antenna, and a slender green line at the end of 

 the scape. Prothorax and mesothorax with a green stripe on the back, partly bifid in 

 front; the lateral ridge of the prothorax is also marked with a narrow green line. Coxae 

 yellow, femora testaceous, tibiiB and tarsi black, pubescent ; a broad green stripe runs 

 along the pectus from the front to the middle coxa?, and from the latter to the hind 

 coxJB, and is continued more narrowly along the abdomen ; under the wings is a narrow 

 yellowish-green line. Tegmina black, lined with green ; opaque portion of wing reddish 

 brown, lined with green towards the costa nearly to the extremity; hind wings smoky 

 hyaline, with a broad curved milk-white band across the middle, not extending to the 

 costa or inner margin. Terminal segments slightly expanded ; cerci rather long, crossed 

 at the extremity. 



Female nearly as in the male, but larger, and with more green lines on the head, 

 including three meeting in front, behind the ocelli, and an additional line on each side, 

 meeting in front of the ocelli. The green lateral stripes on the pectus and abdomen are 

 much less continuous; the vipper appendages are black, and about as long as the last 

 segment but one. The hinder half of the abdomen is testaceous beneath, and projects 

 about as far beyond the abdomen as the cerci, like Avhich it is pubescent.
