Representatives of this genus are abundantly distributed in tropical 

 American countries from southern Mexico to Peru. Being arboreal 

 and to a certain extent also diurnal, most of the species are rather 

 pale or light-colored, many of them being more or less green-tinted. 

 According to Kirby's Synonymic Catalogue of the Orthoptera there 

 had been thirty-three separate species recognized up to the beginning 

 of 1906. The material now at hand contains a specimen of what 

 seems to be an additional species. There are also two others repre- 

 sented.
