examined are green, the tegmina are green, often with the front 
-margin yellowish; the discal spot is also yellowish and not con- 
spicuous ; the hind wings are yellowish and tessellate on the outer 
half or third only, the basal portion and front margin of an even 
color with no translucent spaces. In female carolina the discal 
spot of the tegmina is conspicuous and the hind wings are tes- 
sellate over a much wider area, sometimes to the base of the 
wings. In floridensis the abdomen of the female is tapering, of 
the same general size over much of its length, and the tegmina 
extend about one-half the way down. In female carolina the 
abdomen is more fusiform, broadest at about the fourth segment, 
and the tegmina cover all but the apical third. The shape of the 
abdomen in floridensis and size of the tegmina is more as in the 
genus Phasmomantis, and the species is certainly an approach to 
that genus. The pronotum is slender in floridensis and its 
greatest width is contained in its length a little over five times, 
whereas in carolina the pronotum is more robust, and the greatest 
width is contained in its length about four times. The head is 
proportionately smaller in the new species than in carolina. 
These differences are brought out in the figures. 
In the male allotype and in a paratypic male the tegmina are 
hyaline and the stigma is absent; the wings are also hyaline with 
about four rows of fuscous spots along the hind margin. The 
pronotum is more slender than in carolina, as already described 
for the female. The arrangement of the spines on the front legs 
is the same in both species. ‘The hooks of the genitalia of the 
male are short and stout, whereas in carolina they are long.
