THE object in preparing the present Catalogue has been to give at one view a description of all the species of PHASMIDÆ now in the British Museum Collection, and also a description of those species which are known to exist in other Collections, but which are at present desiderata in the Museum Collection, to enable travellers, collectors, and others to assist in completing the National Collection.
The figures have been drawn and lithographed by the author, who has paid great attention, in preparing them, to the proportion which the joints of the limbs and the body bear to each other, which he believes to be one of the best characters for the distinction of species, and one which it is very difficu1t to express in a moderate space in a description.
Mr. W. W. Saunders, and several other entomologists named in the text, have most kindly lent the specimens in their Collections to be compared with those in the British Museum, and with the figures which the author had made from specimens in Foreign Collections, to enable him to determine the species with greater precision.
The species in the British Museum are marked with B.M. in the margin.

Prothorax small, not dilated into a shield covering the head. Legs formed for walking; the fore pair not raptorial; the hind pair not saltatorial; tarsi 5-jointed. Abdomen not forcipated at the tip.
The Orthopterous insects distinguished by the preceding characters are popularly known under the names of Spectres, Walking-stick and Walking-leaf insects; the two former names being given to them in allusion to the slender twig-like form of many of the species, and the latter to the leaf-like appearance of others, especially those of the genus Phyllium, which indeed in the living state so nearly resemble the foliage of the plants on which they reside, as to be distinguished from them with difficulty; a curious instance of which will be found noticed under Phyllium Scythe.
The 5-jointed tarsi, longitudinally folded wings, when present, and abdomen not furnished with an apical pair of forceps, distinguish these insects from the cursorial Forficulidæ or Ear-wigs; the small size of the prothorax, or segment immediately following the head, will at once separate these insects from the cursorial family Blatlidæ or Cockroaches; the simple fore legs from the ruptorial Mantidæ; and the hind legs, not formed for leaping, from the saltatorial Gryllidæ, Achetidæ and Locustidæ.
The species are comparatively of large and often gigantic size; they frequent the warmest portions of the globe, and the recent researches of assiduous collectors in different parts of the world, have satisfactorily proved that India and the islands of the Indian Archipelago constitute the metropolis of the group. Notwithstanding their large size (may we not, indeed, from analogy with the higher tribes of animals, rather say that, as a necessary dependence upon their large size?), the insects of this family are harmless herbivorous creatures.
The attention of modern entomologists to the great increase in the number of species of these insects preserved in our collections, was first aroused by the appearance of the elegant work on the Australian Phasmidæ, published by Mr. G. R. Gray, and subsequently by the excellent Synopsis which he published of the entire group.
The species are, however, far more numerous than has
hitherto been supposed, as may be easily conceived from
the fact, that notwithstanding the recent labours of G. R.
Gray, Burmeister, Dc Haan and Serville respectively in
England, Germany, Holland and France, I have been enabled
in the present work nearly to double the number of known
species.
The chief specific characters exist in the relative proportions of the different parts of the body, and the form and position of the spines, lobes and tubercles with which their bodies and limbs are armed. In these respects there is a general amount of resemblance between the males and females, which allows us in certain instances to assume the specific identity between specimens of opposite sexes, the males being smaller, more slender, and furnished with longer legs and antennæ; whilst the females are larger, more robust, and have shorter limbs. In many cases also the females are entirely destitute of wings, or have them only partially developed, whilst they are of full size in the males. Many species, however, appear to be entirely destitute of wings in both sexes; and it will at once be perceived, that this circumstance constitutes one of the chief difficulties in the investigation of the specific rank of the individuals. The amount of development of the sexual appendages at the extremity of the body will, however, enable us in most instances to determine whether an insect be immature or arrived at its full growth. It is, however, very probable that some of the more obscure species described in the following pages may prove to be the immature states of other, perhaps still unknown species, or that they are the sexes of other insects regarded as distinct. As, more-over, we are imperfectly acquainted with so many of the species in consequence of possessing but unique specimens (of the opposite sexes of which we are therefore entirely ignorant), it will be perceived that equally great obstacles exist against our proposing a satisfactory generic distribution of the family. The materials, in fact, which we possess are not sufficicnt to allow us to tabulate either the groups or the species; and I think it right to mention these circumstances as a reason for the omission of these very necessary additions to most modern monographs, which would otherwise be comparatively easy of formation. An instance of such difficulties will prove the impossibility, in our present limited knowledge of the family, of satisfactorily establishing the position of species known, as it were, only by halves. Of the large new species from the Feejee Islands, a considerable number of the apterous female specimens were first received. With no clue to the condition of the male, the only step was to place the insect amongst those which were known only as wingless species. The male, however, has since been received by the British Museum, and proves that the species belongs to the group which has winged males and apterous females. A tabulation of the species therefore, founded on the supposed apterous condition of the one in question, would have been an erroneous one.
Like the Tipulidæ and other long-legged insects, these species are liable to lose their legs, especially in an early stage of their existence; but as successive moultings of the skin take place without any material alteration in the general form, the limbs are re-developed; they are, however, generally distinguished by being of a smaller size than the corresponding limbs on the opposite side of the body. This has been the case with the typical specimen of Bacteria mexicana (Heteronemia mexicana, G. R. Gray), which has one of its hind legs thus abbreviated, the corresponding leg on the opposite side having been broken off. Hence Mr. G. R. Gray was led to believe that the insect was normally furnished with small hind legs, and was thence led to form it into a separate genus on that account. Several instances will be observed, on looking over the Plates of this work, in which a similar disproportion occurs in the size of the feet. Charpentier also describes an instance of this difference in the size of the legs in a specimen of Bacillus Rossii, as a most extraordinary fact.
As the species of this family are often well distinguished from each other by the relative length of the different portions of the legs, a description of which could not without great detail be introduced into the specific descriptions, it may be allowed me to state, that in the accompanying engravings I have carefully measured the various parts of each leg, as well as the other parts of the body. I have also given detailed figures, under each species, of the structure of the terminal segments of the body, containing the organs of generation, which, as has been long ago remarked by the most profound entomologists, afford the most important specific characters. The six basal segments of the abdomen are in general simple; whilst the three terminal ones are modified for the reception of the organs in question. In the male, these three joints, on the ventral side of the body, are shorter than the rest, and swollen; whilst in the female, the seventh ventral segment is formed into a large, often boat-shaped, ovipositor or operculum, containing within it the other organs of generation modified from the two terminal segments of the body, forming in a few instances long exserted styles or plates. In both sexes, also, the underside of the ninth dorsal segment is furnished with two generally filiform and very short setose styles, but which in the Australian speces are greatly developed, forming two long flattened appendages. As the development of these three terminal segments is therefore more various in the species than that of the six basal ones, I have thought it would be advantageous to give a separate measurement of the two portions of the abdomen. In the notice therefore of the length of the insect, that of the six basal segments is first given, and then that of the three terminal ones with the total length, thus: abdom. lin. 6 + lin. 3 = lin. 9.
The presence or absence of ocelli has been used as a
sectional character in the family, but, as it appears to me,
too great an importance has been allowed to it; instances
will, in fact, be mentioned in the course of this work, in
which not only closely allied species differ in the possession
of ocelli, but also the opposite sexes of the same species;
and in one instance even specimens of the same sex equally
disagree in this respect.
Another character has also recently been employed as of generic importance - namely, the simple or furcate condition of the second or main vein in the costal area of the wings. I have, however, met with specimens in which the veins in this portion of the wings were so arranged that it was not possible to affirm whether the vein in question were furcate or not; whilst other instances have occurred in which the vein was simple in one sex and furcate in the other.
The admeasurements are made on the English scale of 12 lines to the inch; in cases where the measures are derived from other writers, they are given in the scales which they have employed.
Another character hitherto unemployed in the determination of the species of this family, has afforded me occasionally good distinctive peculiarities - namely, the relative size of the two divisions of which the upper surface of the metathorax is composed. This, of course, is modified by the size of the wings; but still it is too useful to be neglected.
Most of the recent writers upon this family have followed the primary divisions founded upon the presence or absence of wings, first suggested by Lichtenstein. Latreille, however, followed by Serville, adopted the presence or absence of membranous dilatations on the legs as a primary character; the former author using thc alary character in a secondary sense: the latter, however, entirely ignores it as a means of tabulation, using the comparative lengths of the pro- and mesothorax as a means for separating the great mass of the species into two primary groups. Considering, as I do, the wings of Insects as their most essentially characteristic organs, as compared with all other Annulose animals, I shall not hesitate to follow the arrangements of Gray, Burmeister and De Haan in this respect.

This species appears to be variable in some of its characters. Fabricius describes it "femoribus subtus dentatis;" Latreille, "femoribus ante apicem infra unidentatis." Brullé figures all the femora as armed with from three to five spines. Charpentier says the fore legs are quite simple, and only the four hind ones spined. In a specimen in the British Museum from Marseilles, having the thorax granulated and the antenæ 13-jointed, the fore femora are quite simple, the four hind ones have four

marked on each side with a slender dark longitudinal line,
with a lateral paler one. The fore and middle legs are
very long and quite unarmed (the hind ones arc wanting).
The basal joint of the tarsi is remarkably elongated, as are
also the ungucs and pulvilli. The three terminal segments
of the body arc very convex (when seen laterally), of
nearly equal size, the last furnished with a narrow terminal

Dr. Burtneistcr considers this insect may be the male of
his Bacteria gracilis (Ii. 4~dul, Westw.), with broken

being perfect in tbe British Museum specimen. His de-

The male is sery slender and fihiform, with the thoracic
segments slightly dilated at the insertion of the legs, and
the abdominal segments very slightly and gradually thick-
ened from the middle to the extremity of each; the three
terminal joints gradually clavate; the last very convex,
rounded, and margined behind. The head is elongate and
subconvex, simple, with a pale line on each side enclosing
the eyes, and a dark line behind the eyes and extending
along the sides of the thorax and nbdomcn. The antennzc
are about four Limes the length of the head, IS- or 19-
jointed; the joints irregular in length, the basal joint but
slightly dilated. The metathorax is nearly equal to the
mesothorax in length, its hinder division being extremely
short. The abdominal segments are gradually, but very
slightly, thickened from the middle to the extremity of
each, and the three terminal segments are gradually ciniate,
the Inst being very convex, with the hind margin rounded,
slightly margined behind; the three terminal segments be-
neath are moderately swollen, short, not extending beyond
the eighth dorsal segment. The anal styles are rather
long, clavate, setosc, and much incurred, one folding over
the other. The legs arc `very long and slender.
The female is much more robust than the male, nearly
parallel, with the pale lateral line scarcely distinct. The
antenrnQ are about half as long again as tile bead, 1 S-jointed;
the joints irregular in length, the basal joint but slightly
dilated. The hind margin of the bead has a small depres-
sion in the middle; the thoracic segments arc smooth, with
a very fine line down the middle of the back, extending in
a more distinct carina townrd5 the extremity of the abdo-

The general colour is pale dirty yeUowish~grecn; the
surface of the body smooth, and destitute of spines. The
head is oblong-ovate, with a row of minute tubercics on
each side. The antenn~c a little longer thou the head, 16-
jointed, the basal joint large and flattened. The thoracic
segments arc simple, their sides alone being marked by a
row of minute tubercies. The metathorax is rather dilated
gradually to its hind part. The abdomen is long and
simple, gradually attenuated to the cctrcmity; the seg.
merits with a lateral slightly defined margin. The body is
terminated by two small porrected styles, the three terminal
segments being marked with longitudinal furrows. The
operculum extends beneath the seventh, eighth, and greater
part of the ninth dorsal segments. The legs are long and
simple; the anterior femora are curved at the base, and
the middle femora slightly thickened. The body beneath
is entirely simple.

the metanotum, and the base of the femnra dark red. The
male is very slender and cylindrical; it is not glossy, and is
slightly granulose. The head is elongated and narrowed
behind the eves, between which, in both sexes, are two
sinai! conical points. The antcnntc arc rather longer than
the head, and 20-jointed. The prothora.'~ is armed at each
extremity with two small spines. The mesothorax is long
and slender, with several i~ of minute conical tubercies,
and a large one, bifid at the apex, at the hinder cxtrcmity.
The metathorax is rather shorter than the mesothorax;
the hinder division very short, and armed, as well as the
hinder extremity of the anterior division, with a raised
point, as is also the case with each of the segments of the
abdomen in the middle of its hinder margin. In both
sexes each of the abdominal segments has the base and
extremity slightly dilated on each side, arising from the
presence of small lateral tubercics. The legs arc Ion;
and slender; the femora slightly granulose. The female is
more robust, with somewhat shorter legs; the surface of
the body is more granulose; the elevated point at the ex-
tremity of the mesothorox is simple; and the opcrculum
extends to the extremity of the abdomen. In the specimen
of this sex before mc, the left middle femur is armed with
gTanulcs, and an erect spine near the base; but the middle
leg on the right side is simple, probably having been re-
produced.

This specimen seems to unite the present with the fol-
lowing species, from which last it, however, differs in the
four posterior fcznora being furnished only with a small
lobe-like spine on the under side near the tip.
The National Collection possesses several specimens,
which might at first sight be mistaken for separate species.
One of these, from Silhct, has the head large, oval, and
flattened, of a dull luteous-brown colour, with two dark
lines on each side behind the eyes; there is also only one
spine on the upper edge of the middle fcmora near the
base; au'~I the ineso- and mctathora~ arc wider (probably
arising from pressure in drying). Other specimens differ
in the number of spines on the legs.

I am not satisfied as to the specific distinction between
this and Ph. Cunic,ilus, depending as it does on the exist-
ence of horns on the head, and want of spines at the base
of the middle legs in the latter, and rice rer.~ in the
former.

the middle feet. The znetathorax is long, its hinder di~ Ision
rather short. The six basal segments of the abdomen arc
cylindrical and simple; the three terminal segments are
broken off in the unique specimen before me, so that I am
unable to determine the sex. The fore legs arc also want-

The antenntc of the unique specimen of this species in
my collection being broken off beyond the basal joint, 1 am
unable to determine precisely whether it belongs to this
genus or not; but its apparent affinity to Ilac. Hyphereon
and .eitauna and the dilated basal joint of the antenna~
favour such an opinion. The head is rather longer than
wide, gradually narrowed from the eyes to the base; the
disk is convex (not acutely elevated at the base), covered
with numerous minute granules, which arc arranged in
about seven irregular longitudinal rows. The basal joint of
the antennic is moderately large, nearly oral, depressed,
with a small carina along the middle. The mcsothornx is
long and subcylindrical, but little dilated above the base of
the middle legs. The metathorax is long, of equal width
with the mesothorax, its hinder division rather short.
The abdomen is long, more slender than the thorax; the
segments simple, except the sixth, which is armed beneath
at its extremity with a strong deflexed spine; the three
terminal segments of the abdomen arc compressed, the
eighth segment being about half the length of the seventh
segment; the ninth segment is subtruncate at its extremity,
with the outer apical angles rather produced. The oper-
culurn is long and compressed, black and granular at its
extremity, which does not quite reach the extremity of the
abdomen; the two apical styles arc small and deflexed.
The fore legs are wanting; the middle ones are rather
short; the fcmora furnished with a small conical leaflet on
the under side; the under side near the apex is armed with
several very minute spines; the tihitc arc armed with several
minute and widely afl~xcd spines; the basal joint of the

glossy, and destitute of tubercies. The head is oblong,
slightly narrowed from the eyes to the hind margin, which
is elevated and divided into several small tubercles; the
front of the `vertex is armed with two erect acute spines.
The antennae are not twice the length of the head; the
basal joint is large, subovate and flattened; the third and
remnining joints are filiform; the terminal ones very short.
The metathornx is about half the length of the mesothornx;
its hinder division is very short. The six basal segments
of the abdomen are swollen, with several longitudinal strizc,
a more conspicuous raised line down the middle of the back
and in the middle of each side; the three terminal seg-

reaching to about two-thirds of the length of the fore fenioru,
19- to 21-jointed; the basal joint rather narrow, the re-
mainder of equal thickness throughout. The head beneath
is white, with a black or brown lateral s-itta extending from
the eyes to the prothorax, the middle of the black mkrk
being granulated with lutcous; the crown with a small
circular impression between tbe hind part of the eyes. The
abdomen is long and slender with the sides nearly parallel;
the third segment is deeply impressed on its under side;
the two anal styles are transformed into a pair of long, thin,
sabre-shaped filaments, extending far beyond the extremity
of the body. The legs are moderately long, slender, and
simple, each of the femora both in front and behind with a
row of minute black dots. The basal joint of all the tar~i
is as long as all the remaining joints.
The female is larger, with shorter legs, and the abdo-
men more attenuated from the middle to the extremity,
which is furnished with a pair of anal styles not quite so
long as the eighth and ninth dorsal segments united toge-
ther; the operculum is very acute at its extremity, which
reaches to about two-thirds of the length of the eighth
dorsal segment, which is rather longer than the seventh; the
meso- and metathorax arc covered with minute granuics, the
former being furnished with minute rudimental tegmina.

A specimen of this species from New Uolland, in the
collection of the Rev. F. W. Hope, is represented in the
accompanying figure (Plate XXII. fig. 4), differing from
the typical specimen (also in the Hopean Collection) in its
narrower form, in its much less rugose upper surface, in the
horns of the head being small and conical (and not large
rounded lobes), and especially in the different form of the
terminal segments of the abdomen of the female, which in
the type arc strongly carinated, the eighth segment being
elevated far above the ninth, which has its upper surface
straight, but its under considerably sinuated.
Its proportions arc as follow

It is entirely of an obscure grey colour varied with brown,
the upper surface slightly rugose and irregular, with a few
scattered polished granules and short raised lines. The
head is oblong, raised between the eyes, where it is armed
with two short erect spir.cs; the hind margin is elevated
and slightly tuberclcd at its sides. The nntenna~ are about
half as long again as the head, Il-jointed, the basal joint
large and wide at its base, the upper surface with a raised
line down the middle. The prothorax above is irregular,
with an impressed line in the centre, and with two pro-
minent granules in the middle of its fore margin. The
meso- and metathorax and the abdominal segments have a
raised line down the middle of the back; the five basal seg-
merits have the sides parallel, the sixth is gradually nar-
rowed to its hinder e~trcmity, the seventh is parallel at the
sides; the eighth and ninth arc long and gradually acumi-
rated to the tip, which is entire and pointed, the two minute
caudal styles not being visible from above. The opercu-
luin is small, and does not extend to the middle of the
ninth dorsal segment; it is notched at its tIp. The legs
are rather short and entirely destitute of spines.

and behind each of these is a row of small raised granules.
The autenrnt arc very short, 16-jointed, with the seventh,
tenth, thirteenth and sixteenth joints dark at the tips. The
prothorax is as large as the head, with two small spines on
its hinder part. The mesothorax is armed with two spines
near its anterior extremity, two near the middle, and ~
near the hind margin, scarcely placed in regular pairs, and
the hinder extremity is armed with several smaller spines.
The mcuahorax bears a pair of spines near its fore cud, and
its extremity is dilated and armed with several divergent
spines; the six basal segments of the abdomen arc armed
with a spine on each side near the base, the fourth seg-
meut being furnished with a dorsal and two lateral foliaceous
rugose appendages; the terminal segments of the abdomen
are narrower than the others. The operculum extends be-
neath the seventh, eighth, and base of the ninth segments;
it is emarginate at its tip, and the ninth segment is fur-
nished beneath near its tip ~vith two deflexed styles. The
body beneath is rugosely granulated, with a few small spines
arranged symmetrically on the abdominal segments. The
legs are of moderate length, the fore femora cuned at

Numerous specimens of this species, in all stages of
growth from the egg to the imago, arc in Mr. Saunders's
collection, received from M. Goudot himself. The alary
tuhercies appear as minute oval lobes immediately beneath
each of the posterior lateral angles of the mesonotum and
of the anterior half of the metanotum; they arc equally de-
veloped in both sexes, and appear when the insect is not
above one.fourth of its full size. When the insect is full-
grown, they arc pale straw-coloured, depressed, and with
the surface marked with a number of small impressions.
The fourth segment of the abdomen of the male is armed
beneath with two defiexed obtuse spines. The legs arc
clothed with short hairs.

Closely allied and very similar in general characters to
An. .Bogotensia, but at once distinguished by the striking
contrast of the colour of its thighs to the rest of the body,
and by the want of the alary tubercies.
The male is slender, subcylundrical; the female broader,
especially across the middle of the body; black, glossy,
destitute of spines or tubercies. The antennic are about
two-thirds of the length of the body in the male, and about
half its length in the female. The mesothorax is but little
longer than the prothorax. The male has the three ter-
minal ventral segments very much swollen, but not extend-
ing beyond the eighth dorsal segment; the anal styles arc
larger and uncurved. The operculum of the female is thin,
acute, and bent upwards at the tip. The legs are mode-
rately long, simple, entirely black, except the femora, which
arc fulvous red, with the tips black.

Glossy black; the head, pro., mcso- and inetathorax with
an ill-defined longitudinal chestnut-red vitta on each side;
the ltbS and antcnnze pitchy; the body beneath pitchy-
black and rather glossy. The head has two minute im-
pressions near the anterior margin behind the antenntc,
and two others in the front of the crown. The head, pro-
and mctathorax, as well as the abdomen, are destitute of
spines; but the mesothorax is spinulose towards the an-
terior angles. The body is gradually widened from the
head to the middle legs; the metathorax is rather oblong,
the sides slightly dilated. The abdomen of the male is
gradually narrowed from the base to the seventh segment,
which, with the eighth and ninth, form a short oral club,
the ninth being notched at the tip, with two curved sctosc
styles beneath; the terminal `ventral segment does not ex-
tend to the middle of the ninth dorsal one; the eighth
ventral segment being short and constricted at the sides.
The abdomen of the female is gradually narrowed from the
base to the ninth segment, which is rounded behind1 cx-
posing the extremity of the two styles (fig. 5 a ~). The
operculum does not extend beyond the middle of the ninth
dorsa' segment, exposing a flattened bipartite niembranous
piece (5 a ~). The legs are rather short and robust, en-
tirely simple; the fore fernora scarcely curved at the base.

The male is glabrous and coloured in the same way as
the female, but with the markings more suffused (possibly
the cifect of grease). The head is short and broad, punc-
tured on the disc with two minute impressions between the
eyes; the upper lip is prominent and rounded; the antenare
are short and 20-jointed. The prothorax is wider than the
head, with the anterior angles rounded, exposing the api.
racles; the disc is rather uneven and slightly punctured.
The mesothorax is considerably dilated, its dorsal portion
elevated, and furnished at its hind part with a pair of flat,
semiovate, clytriformn, clank greenish-brown wing-cases,
strongly reticulated, but immnoveable, and only extending
over the basal part of the metathorax, which latter is
spotted like the segments of the abdomen, and bears a pair
of' minute rudimental wings, of a dirty straw colour, and
soldered to the surface at its base. The abdomen is don-
gate, gradually narrowed from the base to `the seventh seg-
ment in the male, the three terminal segments forming
an oval mass; the three terminal ventral segments short
and gaping widely, exposing the complicated male organs
of generation. The abdomen of the femaic is broader and
swollen, the lateral margins being more membranous than
the disc; it is gradually narrowed from the base to the
extremity, which is rounded and entire. The operculum
is short and flat, not extending beyond the middle of the
eighth dorsal segment. The legs are dirty olive-brown,
mottled with buff; they arc short and very strong, and
entirely destitute of spines; the fore femorn. are not bent
at the base. The body beneath is pale lutcous-buff, very
slightly spotted with dark brown.

The National Museum in Paris contains several speci-
mens of this species1 which I have examined, and which
differ considerably from each other. The specimen repre-
sented in M. Gay's work is a large female, which bears a
strong general resemblance to, and has rudimentary teg-
mina as fully developed and the abdomen as gradually
attenuated as in, the female of An. pardalina. Others, of
a much narrower form, with the sides of the body nearly
parallel, have the hind margin of the mesothorax dilated at
each side, with a deep rounded notch in the middle. These
are evidently males, the largest measuring as follows :-
Head, 2 lines; prothorax, 2~ lines; rnesothornx (to c~trc-
mity of lateral scales), 3} lines; met.athorax, 3 lines; nb.
domen, 11 lines: total, 23 lines.
Another specimen, which is evidently a female, measures
more than half an inch longer than the specimen figured
in M. Gay's work, its dimensions being :-Hcad, 2 lines;
protborax, 3.~ lines; mesothorax, .1~ lines; metathora~,
~+ lines; abdomen, 18 lines = 33 lines, or 2~- inches. It
has the thoracic portion of the body consiàcrnbly narrower
than the female figured by M. Gay; the protbomax is
nearly square and smooth; the mesonotum rather oblong
and only slightly cmarginnte behind, without any decided
indication of the rudimentary wing-scales; the inetanotum
rather oval, and the abdominal segments gradually atte-
nuated. to the tip. Prom these characters there seems to
me to be reasonable doubt whether this specimen, from
its larger size, can be a female of this spccics with the
wing-covers undeveloped. I should be rather inclined to
consider it as a distinct species, for which I would propose
the provisional specific name of 4n. grijlloides.

The only specimen 1 have seen of this species is a very
imperfect female in the National Collection. It is jet-black,
impunctate, very glossy, and has the head and hind legs
pitchy; it is smooth, and destitute of spines or tubercics.
The head and prothorax are of nearly equal size; the former
has the sides behind the eyes nearly straight, and the
crown of the head is marked with two impressions between
the eyes. The prothorax is slightly margined at the sides,
the anterior angles spiraculiferous. The mesothorax is
gradually widened from the anterior margin to the middle,
from whence to the base the sides are nearly parallel; it is
impressed on each side within the lateral margin and
slightly in the middle of the disc; the hind margin is
straight, and destitute of rudimentary wing-scales. The
metathorax is as broad as the widest part of the meso-
thorax, subconcex; the lateral margin constricted rather
before the middle, exposing the dilated flanks of the meta-
sternum. The abdomen is gradually narrowed from the
base to the extremity; the three terminal segments arc
arched above, the ninth being obtusely rounded and ex-
posing the extremity of the operculum, which extends
beneath the three terminal joints; the two anal styles arc
very short and orate. The four fore legs arc wanting; the
two hind ones are short, strong and simple.

The entire body is glossy black and smooth, the fore
femora alone being dirty buff at the base; the body be-
neath is smooth and polished, with the joints simple. The
head is oval, conve; polished and smooth, with two small
impressions in front of the crown. The antenua~ are short,
16-jointed, the basal joint small, the second square, the
remainder oblong and setose. The prothorax is widest
behind the middle. The mesothorax is constricted at its
base, rather dilated before the middle, narrowed again
behind the middle, and dilated at its hind part; the swollen
anterior part bears a large oral raised tubercic. The mets-
thorax is more than half the length of the mesothorax,
(hinted behind the middle, where, as well as near the base,
it is furnished with a raised transverse ridge. The abdo-
men is long and rather slender, the fourth segment being
the narrowest, whence it is gradually dilated to the eighth
joint, which is swollen at its sides; the ninth joint being
consiclerabh- narrower, shorter, and deeply notched, the
two divisions of the notch being deflexed; the ninth ven-
tral segment is also swollen beneath, and notched at its
extremity, which does not extend to the extremity of the
dorsal surface; the basal segments arc transversely swollen
across the hind part, and the bind ones arc marked with
longitudinal impressions. The legs are very Ion; and
slender, the fore femora but slightly curved at the base,
and all the femoma finely serrated from the middle to the
extremity on thc under side.

The above description is copied from Fabricius, and it
will be ~ecn that it affords no absolute characters either for
the determination of the species or sex of the insect which
served for the Fabrician description, and which was con-
tained in the Collection of Lund. The insect which was
regarded as this species by Mr. G. It. Gray, in the Collec-
tion of Mr. Children, is now in the British Museum Co]-
lection. It is a female, measuring 3 inches 7 lines in
length, and was received from the Rev. L. Guflding of St.
Vince~ts. The description given by Mr. G. R. Gray is-
"Virescens, corporc subplano, subscabro, linen media dc-
vata; femoribus lincis elevatis striatis." The proportions
of the body are-Head, un. 2.~; proth. un. 2; mcso~h.
Un. lOt; metath. lin.4~; abdom. un. 17+lin.5=lin. 22.
The abdomen is destitute of dorsal appendages, and is
gradually narrowed to the extremity, where it is slightly
truncated, exposing the two small anal styles. The oper-
culum varies in length in different specimens; the full-
grown individuals having it extended beyond the last seg-
ment of the body about the length of this joint; in others
it only reaches to the extremity of the body.
The insect, however, which Dr. Burmeister regards as
13. CaIa,,,u,,, is quite distinct from that above described by
Gray. His character is-
B. Calamus, abdorninis segmento 4to supra pone mar-
ginem posticurn lobato. Mns: l~vis, tarsorum articulo Imo

cemS 5.

The male is referred to Stall's fig. 81 (not 87 as mis-
printed in Barrncistcr) ; but StoWs insect is nearly 5}
inches long, and his figure neither represents any lobe on
tlmc fourth dorsal segment of the abdomen, nor any dilata-
tion of the basal joint of the tarsi; whilst the female de-
scri~cd by Burmeister is twice the length of Guilding's
specimen described by Gray. An examination of the
Lundian specimen, if still in existence at Kid, can alone
solve this question.
StoWs figure 8!, on the other hand, is given by Mr. G.
It. Gray as the ~arcn of a species of CladoxeruR ("C. Jill.
foriizis?" G. It. Gray); and in the Paris Museum I found
a similar male sent from `Dc In Mann' by Lcschennult,
named Cladoxerus gracills, fcm.* I entirely agree with
Dr. Burmeister in regarding StoWs figure as the male of
M. Sercille also (tan. Sc. Nat.. xxii. p. Gu) rcgards this llgurc of

The female of this species is tolerably well represented
by Stoll, whose figure exhibits the unarmed head, smooth
hod; and angulated basal joint of all the tarsi. Fabricius
does not refer his P/i. fer~da to Stoll, nor does his descrip-
tion-" Al. magna, elongaut; corpore filiformi, aptero,
viridi; pedibus longitudine corporis; fcrnoribus angulatis,
,poatieia 4 aptce apinosis; antcnna~ uicdiocres, apice fuscie;
corpus totum hcve, glabrum. viride absque clytris et ails"
-quite satisfactorily agree with Stoll's figure. Lichtenstein
quotes both Stoll and Fabricius under his ferula, with the
character-" F/i pedibus aliquanto corpore brcvioribus, tar-
sorum articulo lnio triangulari erecto; anticorunt pedurn
fe~nora et ti6i~z t~pice su6spino.cr." Dr. Burmeister chiefly
distinguishes the female of .13. Arumatia (ferula, F. Dunn.)
from those of .13. Calam us, ~nuricata and simpler by the
smooth surface of the body.
Mr. W. W. Saunders possesses an insect of large size,
which I refer to this species with some doubt. It is a
female, represented of the natural size, in P1. Xxiii. fig. 4
and measures 8..} in. in length; its proportions being-

un. 24; metath. un. 15; abdom. liii. .1S-}+lin. S+oper-
cu!. tin. 2.}=lin. 59. The head is oval, very convex, with
a minute tubercie oa each side near the inner hinder angle
of the eves. The both- is smooth; the thorax with a very
slender raised line on each side within the lateral margin;
the fourth and fifth dorsal segments of the abdomen have
a small foliaccous lobe in the middle of the bind margin;
the terminal segment of the abdomen is nearly square;
the hind margin entire; the two anal styles visible at the
sides. The operculum is granulated, and extends a quarter
of an inch beyond the extremity of the abdomen (fig. 4 a);
it is furnished within with two elongated slender filaments
bent upwards at the extremity, and extending also a little
beyond the abdomen. The legs are long and slender,
destitute of spines or lobes, and the basal joint of all the
tarsi is angulated in the middle of the upper edge. It is a
native of Columbia. If it should ultimately prove distinct,
it may receive the name of .13. Re:npl4an.

This is another insect of which the insuf~cicncy of the
early descriptions renders identification nearly impossible.
Fabricius, who first described the species, saw it in Dr.
Hunter's Museum at Glasguw, and gives "In America me-
ridionali" as its habitat. He, however, refers to Herbst's
ilrch ices, t. 51. f. 2. That figure, however, represents a
species of Bacillus, as above referred to under No. 17.
An examination of the Uunterinn specimen, if still in exist-
ence, will alone clear up the question as to the true Fabri-
dam species. Licbtcnstcin, taking up the species, gives
South America and the opposite islands as its locality.
His figure represents a very slender male insect, rather
more than 4 inches long, with the body neither spined nor
tubercicci; the two terminal segments of the body much
swollen, with two short anal styles at the extremity; the
legs long and slender, annulated with black. "The P/i.
fil~forn.c in the Ohrtmnnni.an Collection," be observes, "is
without doubt a male, full-grown, and yet without any
wings. Time will show whether or not the P/i. fia'jforme
be the male of Pit. Rauntlus "-evidently meaning P/i. fe-
rule (aruma ha), of which be states, "Habitat cum przccc-
dente" (P/i. fil~forinis).
Dr. Burmeister accordingly regards Pit. flifformis as the
male of li. ferula (arumatia); he however describes it as
having the first joint of the tarsi as "distinctius cristato,"
whereas Lichtcnstein expressly alludes to its similarity to
the following joints. Burmeister adds-" abdominis scg-

A male insect in tho National Collection, sent from Tapa-
jos, Brazil, by Mr. Bates, agrees tolerably well with Lich-
tenstein's figure of B. fit jforin ia. It nieasurei rather more
than 4 inches in its total length; the nntenna, lin. 27; the
prothorax, un. 1+; the inesothorax, liii. 13; the metathorax,
un. 9; and the abdomen, un. 19+lin. 4=lin. 23. Its colour
is rufous brown varied with green, the latter colour most
prominent on the thoracic segments; it is very slender and
cylindnic; the body and legs entirely destitute of spines or
tubercies; the seventh and eighth dorsal segments of the
abdomen are dilated, each of the hinder lateral angles of
the eighth being elongated into a deflexed spine; the ninth
segment is small, widened behind and subemarginate, ex-
posing the anal styles at the sides; the three terminal ven-
tral segments are short, with a strong deflexed spine in
the middle. The legs are `very long, slender and simple,
the four hind ones of a dark colour with pale bands. The
basal joint of the tarsi is not cristated. This character
seems to agree with the male of .8. muricata of huger,
which is (rota Pam in Brazil. A larger male specimen
(5~- Inches long), sent from Villa Nova by Mr. Bates, agrees
with the preceding.

I am only acquainted with a single male of this species,
which appears to be closely allied to B. &icornia. It is
long, slender, cylindrical, smooth, except a very few minute
tubercies on the front of the mesothorax, pale rufous brown,
the head and prothorax with a dusky line on each side
behind the eyes. Head widest in front, with two erect,
broad, irregularly notched horns between the eyes. An-
tenna~ long and slender (reaching to the extremity of the
fore tibite); mesothorax long and slender, with a few tuber-
des in front; mctathorax with a small prominent tubcrclc on
ench side at about one-third of the distance from the base.
Abdomen moderately long, the seventh and eighth segments
short, widened behind; the terminal segment still broader,
especially behind; thc outer apical angles rounded; the
posterior margin slightly emarginate; the under surface
furnished along the extremity with numerous small teeth;
the anal styles rather long and thickened, but not visible
from above. The three terminal ventral segments short,
scarcely extending beyond the base of the ninth dorsal
segment, the ninth swollen at its base beneath into a curved
horny tuberele; beyond this, extending beneath the ninth
dorsal segment, is a strong, detached, curved, horny point.
The legs arc moderately long, especiaBv the anterior pair;
the middle and hind Ic morn are rather thickened; the whole
are destitute of spines.

The unique specimen of this insect in the National Col-
lection is much mutilated, wanting the anteunEe, fore legs,
and extremity of the abdomen. I suppose, however, that
it is a male insect. The head is rather small and unarmed;
the mesothorax very long, and (as well as the metathorax)
dilated at the insertion of the legs; these segments are also
unarmed. The abdominal segments arc simple and slender;
the six basal segments bear a small tubercie on each side
close to the base; they arc not furnished with any dorsal
appendage. The four lund legs are moderately long; the
fercora rather incrassated, and armed near the tips beneath
with a strong and acute spine, succeeded by a smaller one;
the tibia and tarsi are slender and simple.

The male is very slender and cylindrical, the thoracic
segments being slightly dilated at the insertion of the legs.
The body is quite smooth, scarcely polished, and destitute
of spines. The general colour is pale luteous with a darker
line down the middle of the back, and a slender pale green
line down each side of the body. The head is elongated
posteriorly, the hind margin slightly elevated, the middle
of the raised edge being depressed; on each side behind the
eye is a dusky line. The mesothorax is very long, the
metathorax about half the length of the pro- and meso-
thorax. The abdomen is slender; the segments very slightly
dilated at the base, the three terminal segments short, the
last truncate and slightly margined behind; the anal styles
deflexed, subconical, and curved inwards at the tip. The
legs are long and slender, the femora slightly toothed be-
neath near the tip.
The female is larger, more robust, and of ~ dirty luteous
brown colour, with shorter legs; the surface of the body is
smooth; the head and thoracic segments finely mottled
with minute lutcous dots; on the crown of the bead behind
is a large, reversed, triangular pale spot, more or less distinct,
enclosing a spear-shaped dark one. The tboracic segments
are quite simple; the mesothorax is greatly elongated; the
hinder division of the inetathorax occupies only two-sevenths
of its entire length. The abdomen is subdepressed, gra..
dually attenuated from the third segment to the extremity,
where it is terminated by a small, elongate, semi-ovate,
constricted lobe, along which runs a flue central carina;
the anal styles arc elongated and straightly porrected back-
wards, being as long as the preceding segment, which is
twice the length of the penultimate one; the opcrculum is
slender and acute at the tip, which scarcely extends beyond
the middle of the last segment. The legs are rather short,
and all the femora slightly toothed near the tip on the under
side; the fernora and tibiae arc more or less distinctly varied
with paler spots.
In the want of an opportunity of examining the original
insect from .tntigua, described and figured by Drury under
the name of Mantis linear-is (Exot. Eut. i. pl. 50), and
which was evidently a male insect, closely allied to the male
above described, it is impossible to determine whether the
latter be really distinct from Drury's insect. (See ante,
p. 24.)

specimen now in the British Museum having been lost and
subsequently reproduced of a smaller size than the other
legs, with the tarsus imperfectly developed. The insect is
very long, slender, and cylindrical, it is a male, and is
entirely destitute of spines or tubercies. its proportions arc

the eighth segment is considerably longer than the nintb~
which is rather square above, emarginate behind, with two
elongated clacate anal styles porrected obliquely beyond the
extremity of the body; the three terminal ventral segments
are dilated, and do not extend beyond the middle of the
eighth dorsal segment. The legs are very slender and quite
simple.
Dr. Burineistcr suggests that this insect may be the
female of his Bacteria trident. Desirable as it is to deter.
mine the sexes of these insects, and justifiable to suggest
the sexual identity of insects described as distinct where
su~fflcicnt evidence exists of such a relation, it is clearly un-
advisable to attempt this where no grounds exist to enable
the student to arrive at such a conclusion. In the present
instance we have a male insect regarded as the female of
another species, whereas the description "corpus ~hfornie"
should have suggested to Dr. Burincister that the insect I
was a male.

long and of equal width; the sixth and following are gm.
dually attenuated to the tip, which is slightly bifid, exposing
the two caudal styles at the sides; the basal and fourth
segments are furnished at the middle of the hind margins
with a dilated foliaceous lobe, and the sixth segment has its
sides furnished at their extremities with two lobes rounded
on the outer edge, and with the hinder angles porrected
backwards. The operculum is very long and slender, ex-
tending far beyond the extremity of the abdomen; the fore
legs arc moderately long and simple; the basal joint of all
the tarsi is angulated above; the four hind legs arc mode-
rately long; the femora curved, furnished near the base
beneath with a triple spine, and with a single one close to
the cxtrcmity; the tibiT have a lobe near the base, and
another towards the extremity on the outer edge.
Ol,.a. The left hind leg is smaller than the opposite one
on the right side, and destitute of lobes, having evidently
been reproduced.

A female of this species in the National Collection is
the only representative of it which I have seen. It is very
long and slender, entirely smooth, and of a green colour.
The head is somewhat larger than the prothornx, and has
two small impressions in front of the crown; the antennie
arc broken off. The meso- and mctathorax are cylindrical,
and only slightly dilated at the insertion of the legs; the
abdomen is of nearly uniform width with the thoracic
segments, arid the six basal segments are of nearly equal
length; the seventh is shorter and more dilated, the eighth
very short, the ninth rather longer and more attenuated,
and slightly carinated with a minute semicircular terminal
appendage, exposing at its extremity two minute conical
points, and at its sides the short obtuse anal styles. The
operculum is very long (about equal in length to the three
basal segments of the abdomen), and extends far beyond
the extremity of the body; it is swollen beneath the eighth
and ninth dorsal segments. The legs are moderately long
and slender, the anterior femora serrated along the upper
edge, the basal joint of the tarsi longer than the remaining
joints united; the middle femora are armed near the base
on the upper edge with two spines; the hind legs are
simple.

This species is allied to 8. atriata, Burmeister. It is
green, opake and smooth, except the abdomen, which has
one central ~ind five slender elevated lines on each side.
The head is small and oblong, without spines or tubereles.
The antcnnzc are gradually attenuated, and extend back-
wards to the middle of the metatborax. The thoracic seg-
Inents arc gradually dilated from the head to the base of
the abdomen, whilst the latter is gradually attenuated to
its extremity. The metathorax is rather more than half
the length of the mesothorax. The operculum of the
abdomen extends slightly beyond the extremity of the
body; it is deeply bi6d at the tip, and but little swollen in
the middle; the anal styles arc short, exscrted at the tip of
the body, and incurred. The legs are short and simple, the
fore fcmora moderately widened along the upper angle, and
all the femora arc quite simple. The basal joint of the
tarsi is about as long as the three following joints in all
the feet.

The materials for this species in the British Museum Col-
lection are mutilated and unsatisfactory, consisting of the
bodies of a male and female insect from Venezuela stuck
upon one pin, whence we may be lcd to infer that they had
been captured in coitu.
The male is very slender, filiforin, destitute of spines or
tubercles. It is obscure ferruginous, with the thorax green
at the sides. The antennm arc slender, extending rather
bc~ond the middle of the metathorax. The three terminal
segments of the abdomen are considerably dilated, the ninth
having the hinder lateral angles rounded and the hind

The female is much more robust and cylindrical. It is
opake dull brown, with paler spots. The head with two
acute spines between the eyes; the sides of the meso- and
metathorax serrated (the latter more widely). The abdo-
men is gradually but slightly narrowed, the three terminal
segments short (the three together being scarcely longer
than the sixth segment), and the ninth is trifid at the ex-
tremity. The middle legs are rather short, with a single
spine on the wider side beyond thc middle, and several
minute ones near the extremity; the operculum is muti-
lated.

This species is at once distinguished by its uniform
width, and by the dilatation of the sides of the fifth seg-
ment of the abdomen. The head is short and square,
with a number of minute raised granules chiefly arranged
in lines. The antennm are lonEer than the head and whole
of the thorax, and finely setose; the basal joint is short
and rather broad, the alternate joints brown at the tips.
The remainder of the body is also rugose and slightly gin-
nulose, the granules of the mesonotum larger and black.
The rnetatborax is rather more than two-thirds of the length
of the mesotborax. The abdomen is considerably longer
than the front part of the body; it has the fifth segment
considerably dilated on each side beyond the middle; the
seventh segment is nearly equal in length to the preceding,
the eighth and ninth are short, and, as well as the seventh,
carinated above. The operculum is narrow, not swollen,
and scarcely extends beyond the seventh segment; behind
it are two flattened, narrowed pieces, and the two anal styles
are very small and terminal. The legs arc short and simple;
the fore fcmor* broad, and flattened along the upper edge.
The basal joint of the tarsi is about equal in length to the
three following joints.

which is armed with two erect spines at the extremity of
its anterior portion, and two smaller and wider apart at the
extremity of the hinder portion; it is also armed with a
small tubercie and a spine on each side in front of the legs.
The abdomen is slender, with the joints slightly widened
near the base and extremity, each however being very
slightly constricted; the first segment has a pair of spines
on its upper surface at the binder part; there is also a cor-
responding but much smaller pair on the second joint; the
seventh and eighth segments are wider than the preceding,
and the ninth is greatly swollen both laterally and on the

This species is at once distinguished by the great length
of the mesothorax, which with the protborax measures one-
third of the entire length of the body. The head is mo-
derately elongated, with the sides parallel. The antennae
are very long and slender. The prothorax is marked with
a blackish line down the middle and at the side, the latter
extending along the sidesof the meso- and nietathorax and
abdomen ; the thoracic segments are but very slightly
granulose; the mesothorax is marked with a black spot
in the middle of the hind part; the inctathorax does not
equal one-third of the length of the mesothomax, its hinder
division occupying about two-fifths of its entire length.
The abdomen is slender, fihiform, the eighth segment longer
than either the seventh or last, which is rounded behind,
subconvcx, with the anal styles beneath de~cxed, nearly
straight, and subclavatc. The legs arc long, slender and
simple, with the base of the tarsus more than half its whohi~
length; the thoratcic and abdominal segments are mar-
gined on the under side with a black lateral line.
The female is much more robust and considerably more
granulose, especially on the ineso. and uictathorax. The
head has the sides parallel, and its bind part has a trans-
verse row of small tubercies. The antennae arc very long
and slcuder. The metathorax agrees in its small size with

that of the ionic. The abdominal segments are very slightly
marked with a slender longitutlinal carina; they arc nearly
parallel throughout their whole length; the terminal dorsal
segment is truncate at its extremity, where it is serrated;
and the operculum is deeply and acutely bifid at its extre-
inity, and extends beyond the extremity of the body. The
legs are long and slender, and entirely simple. The basal
joint of the tarsi is about half the length of the tarsus
itself.

06.. The two specimens of this species in the National
Museum are of the opposite sexes, but appear not to be
fully grown. The body is long, slender and cylindric; the
extremity of the metathorax slightly dilated at the origin
of the bind legs; the surface of the meso- and metatborax
is finely granulose (more strongly so in the male). The
head is destitute of any spine or tubercic. The fore legs
are slender and simple, the middle legs ratber short; the
femora with two small spines near the tip beneath; the
middle tibixe rather dilated near the base on the under
side (the hind legs are wanting); the basal joint of the
tarsi is rather longer than the remaining joints together.
The abdomen is slender, cylindric; the ninth dorsal seg-
ment is deeply slit (to about half its length); the lateral
margins strongly deflexed; on the under side it is furnished
with two short obtuse lobes; the three terminal segments
extend to the extremity of the eighth dorsal segment. The
body of the female is terminated by a minute anal lobe,
the anal styles are `very short and obtuse, and the oper-
culum, which is tint, only extends to the base of the ninth
dorsal segment.

This species, of which I have only seen a single female,
is well distinguished by its very slender form, its long, pos-
teriorly attenuated abdomen, terminated by a slender ap-
pendage like a tenth joint, and its uniform dull, pale grey
colour. The bead is greatly elongated and narrowed be-
hind the eves; in front, betwee'i the eyes and the base of
the antenme, arc three minute spear-shaped impressions.
The antennm arc slender, extending to the middle of the
metatborax. The mcsothornx is very long and of equal
breadth tbrou~iiout, and With a slender raised median
dorsal line (which extends to the extremity of the abdomen).
The mctathorax measures three-fifths of the mcsothornx
in length; its hinder division is very short, not being
more than one-sixth of its whole length. The abdomen

is considerably longer than the anterior portion of the
body; it is gradual) widened to the fourth segment, and is
afterwards gradunlh nttcnuatcd to the tip; the three ter-
minal segments to~ctht.~r arc not longer than the SiXti),
the seventh being equal to the eighth and ninth united;
the last is furnished with a long narrow appendage resem-
bling a tenth joint, with its extremity obtusely pointed.
The operculutn is not at all convex, and extends only to
the base of the ninth segment; the two anal styles are
very short and thin, attached on the under side of the
ninth joint. The legs are long, very slender, and simple;
the tarsi short, with the basal joint as long as the remainder
united.
X suppose, notwithstanding its length, that the unique
specimen which I have seen is an immature female.

The dimensions given above arc taken from the typical
specimen of B. ewnoca in the Ilopean Collection, the figure
above referred to bcing too large and robust. The rneso-
thorax has on each side two longitudinal rows of small
granules. The abdomen is gradually attenuated; the ter-
mimd segment with the two minute but rather broad anal
styles exposed at its extremity. The operculum extends
to the middle of the ninth dorsal segment, basing a curved
and acute horny detached lobe within. The legs are long
and. entirely destitute of spines.
The insect has the appearance of being in an immature
conditiun, the surface of the body having shrunk in various
parts.
A careful examination of the typical specimen of B. ftc-
gill. has satisfied mc that it is only a young larva of the
preceding species. It is Tcprescntcd in the figure above
referred to much too large and robust, and with the oper-
culum much too developed. It lies in fact quite flat, cx-
tending not more than the length of one-third of the eighth
dorsal segment; the remainder of the ventral ~urfaee of
this segment is occupied with two flat oval lateral lobes and
a narrow ventral pointed one; and the ninth ventral seg-
ment bears two cur'i'ed and rather broad appendages, and
two short exserted lateral anal styles. The mesothorax
has the rudiments of the lateral rows of granules. The
head is dirty white, but having shrunk in the middle, it
appears to be marked on each side with a white line.
Mr. Hope has applied the MS. name of .~. tenuis to a
small insect in his collection, represented in P1. XXVII.
fIg. 2, which I have no hesitation in regarding as the male
of B. c~no.~a. It is very slender, cylindrical, smooth, dirty
brown; the head above marked with a longitudinal pale
line on each side behind the antennm; the abdominal seg-
ments arc rather narrowed in the middle, the base and ex-
tremity of each being gradual) widened. The mesothoriti
is long, and marked on each side with two rows of small
black granules placed wide apart; the eighth dorsal seg-
ment i~ half as long again as the ninth, which is notched at
its cxtrcniitv, carinatcd above, and furnished in the middle
beneath with two bug. deflexed, curved, obtuse, setose anal
styles; the eighth and ninth ventral segments arc swollen,
especially the augulated base of the ninth, which does not
extend to more than two-thirds of the length of the eighth
dorsal segment. The legs arc long, very slcnder, and
simple.

The whole insect is of a pale brown colour, with the legs
paler luteous brown, and the extremity of the abdomen
paler; it is covered with minute pale glossy granules, and
has a vcr fine polished line running along the middle of
the thorax and abdomen on the under side; these granules
are fewer on the abdomen. The head is furnished with
two small raised spaces between the eyes. The mcsothorax
is considerably elongated, as is also the metathorax, which
is strongly divided near its extremity into two parts by a
transverse line. The abdomen is entire, gradually widened
to the fourth segment, behind which it is gradually nar-
rowed, the three terminal segments being narrower than
the bead; the last (ninth) dorsal segment is subcmarginnte
behind, exposing a small rudimental joint, and with two
small styles at its outer angles. The operculum extends
nearly to the extremity of the ninth dorsal segment, be-
tweer. which and it are to be seen three pairs of dilated np.
pendages, forming the internal organs of generation. The
fore legs (as well as the antennzc) are broken off in the
unique specimen in the ~ationnl Collection. The four
hind femora are slightly thickened at the tip, with two or
three minute spines, and the tibiae and t.nrsi are simple.
The prosternum and mesosternum are divided into two
parts by a transverse line across the centre of' each.

The National Museum contains three specimens of the
male completely agreeing together. The two horns on the
head are very small, and placed between the anterior part
of the eyes. The body is entirely covered with minute
white granules, which are less distinct on the abdomen.
The mesothorax is strongly dilated at its extremity; the
upper surface of the thoracic and abdominal segments are
destitute of a fine raised longitudinal dorsal line, except
the terminal segments of the abdomen1 which are carinated;
the seventh dorsal segment is conical, the eighth and ninth
obconic, the ninth with a fine slit extending to the base,
but with the edges of only the hinder half of the slit apart.
The two anal styles are short, deflexed, straight, and affixed
in the middle of the under side of the ninth segment.
The three terminal ventral segments arc gradually dilated
from the base to the middle of the ninth segment, which is
slightly swollen, its extremity scarcely extending beyond
the base of the ninth dorsal segment. The anterior legs
have one or two small spines beneath near the tip, and the
basal joint of the fore tarsi is elevated, being widest towards
the tip; the middle femora arc considerably thickened,
armed beneath near the tip with a triangular lobe, ex-
ternally denticulated; the hind fcmora are slender, with
several minute spines near the tip. The proportions of a

The typical specimen of L. pteroilactylua is a female, in
the Collection of the British Museum, and is unquestion-
ably the female of 1. breripes. The two horns on the head
arc very minute and ~carcch' distinct; the mesothorax is
much swollen behind, the metathorax being considerably
wider than the middle of the mesothora.x; the fifth abdo-
minal segment is dilated, the sixth narrowed, the seventh
nearly as long as tIme sixth, narrowed; the eighth and ninth
are short and nearly equal in length, the last being termi-
nated by a distinct semiovate lobe, like a tenth dorsal seg-
ment; the sixth ventral segment is furnished with a dc
flexed point in the middle of its hind margin; the oper.
culum is but slightly dilated, and extends to the extremity
of the ninth dorsal segment, which has its sides notched
and armed with two small tlattencd oval anal styles. The
fore tibia~ hare a small spine near the extremity on the
under side; the fore tibixe have a dilatation near the base
and spe~~ on the upper edge, and the basal joint of the
fore tarsi is dilated into a large rounded plate on its upper
edge; the middle fcmora are much thickened, with an an-
gutated toothed lobe on the under side near the tip, and an

This S~CClCS is nearly allied to P/s. nematodes, Dc iIaan,
p. 132. p1. ii. fig. 6, but is more robust. The head is
elongate behind the eyes, smooth, and moderately con'ex.
The antenn~ arc short, not extending beyond the meso-
thorax. The mesothorax is smooth, glossy, and slender,
moderately dilated (as is also the metathorax) at the place
of insertion of the legs. The nietathorax is about five.
sixths of the length of the me~othorax; its binder division
occupies about one-sixth of its whole length. The meso-

joints gradually but slightly narrowed from the base to the
middle, and then widening again to the tip; the three ter-
minal segments are strongly keeled, the last with the sides
greatly elongated and deflexed, forming two thin append-
ages rounded at the tip, with the anal styles very short

This TI ~ 4s, of which I lu~xe only a single male speci-
men, is closely allied to L. Praan, Westw., but differs in
having a longer body, shorter legs, dentate femora, and a
shorter terminal segment to the abdomen. The body is
slender and subcyhindrical, glossy, and moderately covered
with vcr~ fine granulations. The head is rather short,
with two short erect spines between the eyes; the hind
margin with a row of small elevations; the anternuc ex-
tend to the extremity of the fore tibitc. The snesothornx
is one-third longer than the mctatborax; both are only
slightly dilated at the base of the legs; the hinder division
of the metatborax is nearly two-fifths of its whole length.
The abdominal segments are slightly constricted both at
the base and apex, and in the mildle of the hind margin of
each there is a minute elevated angle; the three terminal
segments are but slightly dilated; they are strongly keeled
above, of nearly equal length, the last being cleft at its
extremity, the lateral posterior angles of which are produced
backwards and downwards into an angulated point; the
anal styles short, slender, obtuse at the tips, and deflexed;
the terminal ventral segments much swollen, especially the
last, which only extends to the extremity of the eighth dorsal

The body is long, rather slender and subcvlindrica], opake,
obscure luteous-brown, slightly rugosc; the meso- and me-
tathorax being moreover marked with a number of mode-
rate-sized black oval tubercies. The head has a sinuated
ridge in the middle between the eyes. The nntennc are
about equal in length to the fore legs. The mesothorni is
but slightly dilated at the place of insertion of the middle
legs. The metatliorax is slightly but gradually widened
from the base to the insertion of the hind legs, in front of
which is a small but prominent tubercie on each side of the
body. The abdomen has the sides nearly parallel, the
fourth segment having a small but very acute decum bent
spine in the middle of its hint] margin; the fifth and sixth
segments are slightly dilated at the sides; the three ter-
minal segments arc short and uniform; the ninth with the
lateral apical angles prominent and directed backwards,
The operculum extends rather beyond the end of the body;
it is deepest at its extremity, where it is rather abruptly
truncate and rugose along the edge. The legs arc short;
all the femora with two or three small spines on the under

This species, of which I hare only seen a single female,
has the body of a dull luteous colour destitute of gloss; it
is elongate, subcylindrical, with the abdomen broadest. The
head is moderately elongated behind the eves, with a few
minute granules and an indistinct row of slightly raised
tubereles across the hind margin. The antenna! arc slender,
and longer than the fore legs; the thoracic segments are
grunulose, the hinder part of the metathorax and the abdo-
minal segments ncnrh. smooth; the metathorax is scarcely
half the length of the mesothorax, and its posterior dicisiou
is nearly three times the length of the anterior. The ab-
domen is widened in the middle, finely margined, and the
three tenninal segments arc scarcely longer than the sixth
segment; the terminal one is subdepressed and cmarginate
at its extreinirr, with the very short broad st'vles visible at
its posterior angles; the operculum is gradually swollen in
the middle, and extends to the extremity of the body. The
legs are rather short and thick, strongly angulated; the
fore femora with the upper edge wide and very thin; the
four posterior fcmora are armed near the tips beneath with
a small angulated lobe; the basal joint of the tarsi is about
as long as the three following joints in all the feet.

Antenna! nearly as long as the fore legs; ineso- and meta-
thorax moderately dilated at the insertion of the legs; ab-
dominal segments with a slender elevated line running

or less tuberculated. The head is armed with two spines
between the eyes; the crown also bears several pairs of
smaller points; the basal joint of the antennzc is diluted.
The prothorax is armed with a pair of small approximating
spines in front and behind; the mesothornx is granulose,
the points becoming larger next the mesini line, and with a
large tubercle in the middle of the hind margin, the lateral
part being dilated for the insertion of the middle legs; the
metatborax is also granulosc, with a larger tubercic in the
middle of the hind margin, its is also the case with the
abdominal segments, except one or two of the apical ones.
One of the two female specimens in the British Museum
is less n~gose, and has the abdomen long and nearly cvlin-
drical, the seventh segment being the narrowest; the ninth
is short, transverse, with the apical angles deflexed, a ml-
flute central lobe, and two minute but rather broad styles
beneath (fig. S~ and ~ ~ 6). The other female has the
middle segments dilated, the ninth being suddenly de-
pressed at a short distance from its base, the apical portion
(which, although apparently soldered to the joint, appears
rather to be the representative of a tenth or supplemental
joint) forming a long lance-like piece, extending considerably
beyond the extremity of the operculum. The legs arc long
and slender; the femora armed near the tips beneath with
a minute spine. On the under side the female is furnished
with a few granules on each segment of the body placed
irregularly along the middle. The three terminal ventral
segments of the variety are evidently soldered into one
joint or operculurn.
The difference in the structure of the terminal segments
of the abdomen in the two specimens of this species in the
British Museum Collection, ted me at first to suppose and
indicate in the lettering of the figures that the narrow one
was a male and the other the female. 1 feel, however, now
satisfied that both are females; the terminal appendage in
the narrower specimen having been subjected to an arrest
of development, and the width of the broader specimen
being probably caused by its having been impregnated. I
have nowhere else met with so remarkable a variation in
the structure of these important organs in the individuals
of the same sex in any species.

The typical specimen of this species is preserved in the
National Collection; it is a female, and is remarkable for
the large foliated and dentated lobes near the base of the
four strongly curved posterior femora; the six strong spines
on the mesothorax and the two on the metathorax are not
arranged symmetrically in pairs. The three terminal seg-
ments of the abdomen are rather short, nearly equal, the
terminal one with its apical angles produced; the oper-
culum extends a little distance beyond the extremity of the
abdomen; the anterior tarsi have the basal joint compressed
and elevated, the tibim being compressed at their extre-
mity; the four posterior tibite arc compressed from the
base to the middle, and the tarsi arc simple.

arc parallel; the upper surface is armed with a number of
small spines placed irregularly; the mctathorax is slightly
wider than the inesothorax, being rather swollen in the
middle on each side and in front of the base of the hind
feet; its upper surface bears a few small erect spines; the
hinder margin, as well as that of the basal segments of the
abdomen, being slightly margined. The abdominal sc~-
merits are gradually narrowed from the base to the extre-
mity, which is furnished with two large oval foliolets;
the sixth segment is constricted in the middle, with its
hinder angles prominent. The fore legs moderately long;
the femora bent at the base, and armed with several spines
on the upper edge, the tibia~ simple; the four hind fcmora
thickened and angulatcd, with a spine near the base of the
upper edge; the under edge with several spines, those near
the extremity being largest; the tibiic rather dilated, with
a small spine near the base. The operculurn has a small
spine at its base, and extends to the middle of the ninth
dorsal segment. The meso- and mctasternum and abclorniual
segments beneath are armed with a few very small tuber-
des.

I am induced to consider the insect represented in P1. II.
f. 6 as a half-grown female rather than a full-grown male of
this species. Like the fully-developed female (of which the
figure in my Oriental Entomology' gives a representation),
the specimen has the exsertcd style at the extremity of the
body resembling a tenth joint; but the operculum does not
extend beyond the extremity of the ninth joint, leaving ex-
posed at the sides the inner appendages of the organs of
generation. The operculum also is not 3-jointed as in the
males, although it exhibits two transverse impressions.
The spccimeu is from the Philippine Islands, and is in the
British Museum Collection.

This species is well distinguished by the two large com-
pound spines on the prothorax, and by the large triangular
strongly spincd space on each side of the anterior part of
the mesothorax. The general colour is brownish-black in
the male, with the spines and central line down the thorax
ferruginous. The female is ferruginous brown, with the
abdomen darker coloured, the spines and small tubercics
being more ferruginous. The mate has the body much
less rugose, but with the spines more acute; the female is
covered with small granules, and the mesothorax has the
triangular lobe on each side more dilated, flattened, and
spined than in the male. The bead is nearly square, with
two strong spines on the crown behind the middle, with
several smaller tubercular spines. The anterior lateral
angles of the prothorax are spiracular, surmounted by a
small spine; the disc on each side is armed with a strong,
obliquely erect. bifid spine, each followed, in the female, by
a row of small tuberculiform spines. The mesothorax has
a transverse row of small Spines across the base; the flanks
are armed with a row of about six small spines; the disc in
the male is armed ou each side near the front with a strong
spine, beyond the middle with a pair of erect approxima-
ting spines, and another pair above the insertion of the
middle leg. Along the middle both of the meso- and meta-
thorax runs a slender, slightly elevated, ferruginous line;
the flanks of the metathorax are also spined, and the disc of
the anterior portion is armed with a pair of strong, obliquely
erect spines. In the female the spines become more com-
pound, the anterior pair of the Tncsothorax being united to-
gether, and to the two middle spines, by a raised transverse
lozenge-shaped space, with the edges serrated; the dis-
coidal carina is furnished with two rows of small tubcrcles.
The thorax beneath is unarmed. The abdomen is consi-
derably narrower than the metathorax; the segments arc
nearly sqnarc in the male and very finely rugose, but trans.
verse in the female and finely granular, with a transverse
ridge of tuberctes near the bind margin. The terminal seg-
meats of the abdomen in the male are but little swollen;
the terminal dorsal segment slightly cmarginate in the
middle, and the last ventral segment rounded at its extre-
mitv; the terminal dorsal segment in the female is can-
nated, with an impressed tine running down the middic of
the canina; the operculum large, bitt not extending beyond
the extremity of the abdomen. The legs are moderately
long in the male, shorter and stronger in the female; the
femora, especinib in the latter, are armed with small spines
on the upper edges; the under edge in the four posterior
femora armed with two spines towards the tip; the tibize
are rugose rather than spined; the tarsi arc short, with
the basal joint small.

Allied in general form to the preceding species. Ob-
scure brown, opake and nigose both on the upper and under
sides, finely setose. The head is rather longer than wide,
with small tubercular spines between the eyes and on
the hind part. The antenna~ are very short and 16- or
I 7-jointed. The prothorax is about the size of the head,
with two oblique granulated raised lines; the hinder mar-
gin also tuberculated. The mesothorax is gradually di-
lated, with an elevated tuberculated ridge down the middle;
the lateral margins also granulated, and with lateral curved
elevated granulated lines. The metatborax is gradually
dilated to the front of the place of insertion of the hind
legs, where it is strongly angulatcd and suddenly narrowed,
the hinder division separated from the anterior by a curved
impressed line. This portion of the body, as well as the
abdomen, is marked down the middle by an elevated tu-
bercular carina and the hind margins of the abdominal
segments arc armed with larger tubercular spines, the
outer posterior angles of each segment being prominent;
the ninth dorsal segment is much depressed and subemar-
ginate, exposing the anal lobe resembling an extra segment.
The operculum is swollen at the base, and scarcely extends
to the extremity of the exposed lobe. The legs arc short,
the anterior fernora curved at the base; all the femorn are
armedwith small tubercular spines. The xncsostcrnum is fiat,
with a very fine raised central line, and a row of tubercies
on each side, outside of which the mesosternum is angu-
lated. The ventral segments of the abdomen are slightly
t.ricarinated along the middle.

I have seen only one specimen of this species, which
appears to me to be a female not arrived at its full growth.
The head is small, with the crown elevated behind into a
conical protuberance, rugose along its edges; the anterior
part of the face, with two converging rows of tubercles,
running from the base of each antcnmc and meeting in the
middle of the face between the eyes. The antenna are
short, about 23-jointed, the basal joint robust and pris.
matic, flat above. The prothorax is wider than the head,
with the anterior angles rounded; the disc uneven, with
two tubercies near the middle. The ineso- and metntlio-
mx are of equal width throughout, and furnished with alt
elevated ridge down the middle terminating in the anterior
margin of the mesothorax in two prominent tubercies; the
disc and sides are slightly uneven; the posterior division of
the metathorax is very short, with two diverging raised
lines in the middle. The abdomen is depressed and has
the sides even and continuous, of nearly equal width
throughout; the terminal segment narrowed, truncated,
and serrated at tile extremity; each segment has two
curved elevated lines in the middle, and an oblique impres-
sion on each side; the fifth segment is marked near its
base in the middle with two round black spots, the eighth
dorsal segment is elevated at its hinder extremity in the
middle; on the under side the body is simple and unarmed,
with the middle of the thoracic and abdominal segments
with a slightly raised longitudinal carina. The operculurn
is but slightly developed, nearly flat, and extending only
to the middle of the eighth dorsal segment. The legs arc
short, rather thick, and slightly rugose; the basal joint of
the tarsi scarcely longer than the foflowing joint.

Dark brown, varied with ferruginous granulations, opake,
rugose, and strongly spined. The head is rather short,
with the crown considerably elevated and armed with about
five Spines, varying in size on each side. The antcnnrc are
rather short (broken at the tips), with the basal joint flat
above, with a spine on the outside at its extremity. The
prothorax is rather short and square, with a strong obtuse
spine on each side near the anterior angle, and the disk
has two rows of small spines. The inesotborax is much
swollen at the sides of its hinder portion; it has two di-
verging spines near its fore margin, and a large compound
spine on each side behind, with a pair of corresponding
spines in the middle of the rnetathorax, which is also armed
with a pair of strong diverging spines in the middle of the
lateral maTgms. The abdomen is much narrower than the
rnet.athorax, and is gradually narrowed from the base to the
sixth segment; each segment has two tubercies at each
side near the base, and four others arranged in pairs
near the middle of the hind margin; the seventh and
eighth segments have two stronger obtuse spines between
the middle and the fore angles, the eighth being elevated
in the middle into a strong crest; the ninth segment is
nearly flat, obconic..truncatc, tuberculated at the sides and
emarginate at the extremity. The operculum is small,
slightly convex, carinated down the middle, and extends
to the extremity of the eighth dorsal segment; the anal
styles arc very short. The legs are short and tubcrculated;
the femora with a small spine on the upper edge at the
tip; the tarsi short, with the basal joint scarcely longer
than the following.

Entirely ashy-brown, opake, with the anterior triangu-
lar portion of the meso- and metathorax paler. The head
is oblong, with two strong diverging obtuse spines between
the eves; the crown is elevated behind and armed with
two pairs of erect obtuse spines. The antcniue are short,
IS-jointed; the basal joint broad and flat above the
outer edge, with two obtuse teeth; the five terminal joints
are more slender than the preceding and pale luteous. The
prothorax is subquadrate, rugose above and at the sides.
The inesothorax is rugose in front, its hind part is roundly
dilated (as is also the hind part of the metathorax), and
each is armed with four obtuse spines; the former has also
two conically elevated tubercies close together in the middle
near the hind margin, and on each side of them are two
smaller points. The metathorax has a central conical tu-
bercic near the hind margin of its anterior division, the
hinder division being very short. The abdomen is narrow,
with the sides of the second and five following segments
nearly parallel, slightly rugosc above, each segment, more-
over, being a little swollen near its base, as well as near its
extremity on each side; the seventh segment is wider than
any of the preceding, with the hinder angles considerably
produced and with an obtuse tubercle on each side; the
eight segment is narrower, with a strongly elevated carina
in the middle, and an obtuse tubercic on each side; the
ninth segment is subquadrate, with a tubercic on each side
and the apex cinarginate. The terminal ventral segments
are very much swollen. The legs arc short and thick,
slightly tuberculated (the hind, thighs more strongly than
the rest); the tarsi with the basal joint short.

This is one of the most repulsive-looking species in the
entire family, owing to its uniform dirty brown colour and
strongly armed appearance. The male is considerably nar-
rower than the female, and the spinnlose lobes upon the
different parts of the body are more elongated, terminating
in longer and more acute spines. The bead is short, with
the face dcflc~ed; it is rugose, and armed with two strong
denticulated lobes on the crown, behind which are two
smaller spines. The antcnnm are long and slender, with
long joints. The prothorax is transverse, armed with two
spines in front and two smaller behind. The mesothorax
is oblong in the male, nearly square in the female; it has
two small spines near together in front, and two large trian-
gular denticulated lobes at the sides, with two small spines
behind in the middle; it is also spined along the edges.
The metathorax is shortcr than broad in the femaic, with
a pair of small triangular denticulated lobes in front (pro.
duced in the manIc into acute spines); the middle is can-
nntcd, and the sides are dilated into triangular spinose
lobes. The abdomen is rugose serrated along the edges,
narrower in the male, l)rOad in the female: the first and
second segments in the male with a pair of spines, and the
fifth and sixth with two small dcnticulated lobes; in the
female all the six basal segments have a pair of denticu-
lated lobes, those on the second and third scgmcnts being
the smallest, and those on the fifth largest, subovate and
denticulated; the three terminal segments are broadly di.
latcd, the last joint erect in the male, terminating in two
small rounded lateral lobes in the female. The legs of the
male arc longer and more slender than those of the female.
All the feinora and tibizn arc furnished with numerous
small obtuse tubcrclcs, arranged in pairs on the feinora.
The tarsi are short, with the basal joint scarcely largcr than
the following joint. (The under side of the terminal seg- I
macnt had been devoured by dnt/ireni in the only two speci.
mens which I have seen.)

The head of the unique male in the National Collection
is small and armed with six erect spines arranged in pairs.
The antenom are long and slender, the labrurn and mandi-
bles pale buff~, the latter black at the transverse tips; the
general colour of the body is brown, slightly varied at the
sides with pale buff. The mesosternum armed with two
or three small deflexeci spines at each side. The prothorax
is armed at the base of each fore leg with two divergent
spines. The mesothorax is armed with two compound
spines on each side, and with several erect and diverging
spines arranged across its dilated hinder part; there is also
a similar arrangement of spines across the dilated hind
part of the metathorax; each of the six basal segments of
the abdomen is also dilated at its c~tremiLv, where it is
armed in the same manner with Spines; each of these ab-
dominal segments has likewise the hinder margin beneath
produced in the middle into two small contiguous lobes;
the three terminal segments in the male arc short, bent
upwards and dilated beneath, the seventh being armed with
a. dCBeNCd spine, as well as the under edge of the swollen
operculum. The legs are pale buff, considerably varie-
gated with brown; the femora of the two fore legs hai~e
two middic triangular fohiaccous lobes on the inside, the
four hinder femora being more strongly spineci both along
the front and hind edge, and all the tibitt have a small
lobe on the inner edge between the base and middle.

This species is closely allied to B. Thestylis, but it is
shorter in thc proportion of the different parts of its body,
and is much more strongly spined. The head is short,
broad, round, and very convex, armed above with two pairs
of spines, the hinder pair being the largest. The antcnnie
are very long and slender, irregularly annulated with buff.
The prothorax is armed with two erect spines at its hinder
part. The mesothorax is long and slender, considerably
dilated at the insertion of the legs (as is also the metatho-
mx), armed with about twelve spines arranged in three ir-
regular transverse series. The metathorax has about ten
similar spines, four arranged transversely near the middle,
two at the extremity of each of' the divisions, and two lateral
ones. The bind part of each of the abdominal segments is
dilated and dcflcxed; the middle of the hind margin both
dorsally and ventmally armed with two spines. The three
terminal segments arc widened, the last dilated at the sides,
margined behind, and subtruncnte; the three terminal veti.
tral segments arc much swohicu, extending to the extremity
of the eighth segment, which has the lateral margins emar.

I have seen only one female individual of this species,
which differs from all the others with which I am ac-
quainted in the shape and appendages of the abdominal
segments, tuberculated legs, &c. It may possibly be the
female of ii. To/ima, but I have no proof of such a fact.
The head is short, very convex, with various minute spines
on the crown, two being of larger size than the rest. The
antcnmc arc at least as long as the fore legs. The pro-
thorax is furnished with numerous small granules and two
small erect points in the middle of the binder margin.
The mesothorn"~ and metathorax are also granulose, ~rith a
central slender raised line and two short spines on the disc
in front of the middle and two on the hind margin; the
metathorax is short, with two small spines in the middle.
The abdomen has the basal segments gradually dilated into
an oral mass, convex above, rugose; the basal segment
with two small spines in the middle, and two larger towards
the sides on the hind margin; the second segment has the
hinder margin in the middle raised into a broad thin plate,
with a spine on each side and two converging carinzc in the
middle; the third and two following segments are broad,
with the middle raised into a much narrower lobe, the disc
with converging carina~ and the lateral margins dilated
behind; the sixth segment is much narrower than the pre-
ceding; and the three terminal segments are much com-
pressed, and as long as the four preceding segments united,
with an acute carina along the middle, the sides slightly
rugose; the seventh segment being as Ion; as the eighth
and ninth united. The operculum extends to the extre-
mity of the abdomen; it is but slightly swollen in the mid-
dle. The legs arc of moderate length, armed with nume-
rou~ small conical lobes on the f~mura and tibim those of
the fore legs being less strongly marked than in the hind
legs; the tarsi have the basal joint rather longer than the
three following joints united.

Obscure blackish-brown and opake, the surface irregu-
larly granulose. The bead is widened in front to the eyes
with two erect spines on the crown in the middle and seve-
ral smaller ones near the hind margin. The antenntc arc
scarcely longer than the mesotborax, with the basal joint
large, oval and flattcned. The prothorax has two raised
longitudinal lines posteriorly dentated. The mesothorax is
gradually widened from the anterior margin to the middle,
behind which its sides are straight; the disc is irregularly
granulated, with a central longitudinal raised line. The
metathorax is oblong, with a similar raised central line.
The abdomen is rather wider than the metathora.'~; the
basal segments ~bort, the ~fth and following gradually nar-
rowed and rather longer; the sides of cach joint arc emar-
ginate, so that each side of this part of the body forms a
series of scallops; each segment, moreover, is furnished
down the middle of the back with two curred narrow
rai~cd lines, enclosing between them an elongate-oval space,
and the sides are further marked with curved raised lines;
the ninth segment is deeply impressed transversely at a short
distance from its base, its apex being acurninateci; beneath
it bears two small oval styles, the operculnm extending
beneath the seventh, ei~htb, and base of the ninth joints.
The legs arc rather short; the fern ora with very small tuber.
des on the fore edge; the two hind femora dilated at the
base behind. The basal joint of nil the tarsi is short. The
body beneath is similarly coloured, opake and carinated as
above. The male is small anti narrow, with the sides of
the body parallel, the terminal segments of the both being
dilated and angulated beneath; the head is armed with
tubercics instead of spines, and the hind legs arc slightly
dilatcd at the base.
An immature specimen of a female measuring I G.} lines

The general colour is rusty-brown, the surface granulato..
rugose, the under side of the body being opake, slightly
rugose, with the abdominal segments simple. The head
is rugose and furnished above with two large and four
smaller spinose leaflets, which arc elevated and laterally
obliquely porrected, the larger ones being rounded on their
anterior upper margin, the crowii of the head is furnishcd
moreovcr with two spines; the basal joints of the anLcnna~
are rugose (the terminal joints arc broken off in theunique
specImen in the National Collection). The prothorax is
rugose and spined at its upper side, with two diverging
spines near its hind margin. The mesothorax is spined
along the sides, which arc gradually dilated to the base of
the middle legs; the anterior part bears a triangular rugose
spn~~e, armed with spines at the sides, and there is a central
longitudinal elevated line with two strong spines in the
centre. The xnctathor& is about half the length of the
inesothorax, considerably dilated at the sides in frout of
the base of the hind legs, armed with two strong spines
near its base, and the sides also spined. The abdomen is
rugose above; the extremity of the basal segments with a
minute compound lobe in the middle of the hind margin,
which becomes fohiaceou.s and much larger in the fourth
and fifth segments, but gradually diminishes on the hind
segments. The abdoincu is as wide as the mesothornx, but
narrowed at the base of the seventh segment. The oper-
culum extends beneath the whole of the seventh, cighth,
and ninth segments, not however extending beyond the
latter. The fern orn are irregularly folinceo.dcntate, both
along the fore and hind edges, and the tibi~ are irregu-
larly but widely serrated on the outer edge. The tarsi have
the basal joint slightly larger than the second joint.

The whole insect is opakc, and considerably varied in its
colour from green to rusty-brown and lighter buff; it is
covered with small granules or spines, and is armed with
numerous conical leaflets, which arc denticulnted at the
edges. The head is armed with two conical spinose lobes
ozi the crown, behind which arc two erect spines. The
zintcnnzr~ arc long and slender, with the tips of the joints
(in the basal ball of the antcnn~e) darker-coloured than the
basal portion. The prothorax is armed with two erect
spines in front, and four in a transverse row bchind. The
mesothorax, in addition to the pair of large triangular spi-
nose leaflets, is armed with four pairs of erect spines. The
metathorax also bears a pair of smaller spinosc triangular
Icalicts, and two pairs of dorsal spines, one pair close to
the fore margin, and one pair beyond the middle. The
six basal segments of the abdomen arc armed at the sides
with triangular spinose lobes; and on the upper surface
near the base of each is a pair of small spines wide apart,
with a pair of large spines approximated together in the
middle of the hind inargm, accompanied in the third and
fourth segments by a spinose erect lobe; the three terminal
segments arc ~~yy much compressed, the eighth segment
being furnished above with an ovate erect serrated lobe;
the ninth segment is produced in a slender plate at its ex-
tremity; the operculum extending to the extremity of the
abdomen, but with its extremity deflexed. The legs arc

long and slender, considerably variegated in their colours;
the anterior femora and tibirc irregularly spinose and ser-
rated; the four hind femora with five or six spines on each
of their angles, that near the apex being the largest. The
middle right leg in the specimen drawn bad apparently
been reproduced1 being smaller than the opposite limb, and
destitute of spines. The size of the spines of the body
varies in different individuals. One specimen in Mr. Fry's
collection has the abdomen destitute of the lateral lobes,
whilst the dorsal lobes of the third, fourth and eighth
segments arc larger than in the specimen which I have

Uniformly opake, red-brown, with the sides of the body
nearly parallel; the cntirc surface of the body covered with
minute granules and short slight irregular lines. The head
is oblong and simple. The antennm nearly half the length
of the body and very slender. The mesothorax long and
slightly widened at its extremity, as is also the mctathornx,
which has its hinder division very short and slightly mdi-
cated. Thc second segment of the abdomen is furnished
with a large erect leaflet at its hinder margin, and the fol-
lowing scgmdnis arc also furnished on their hind margins
with a series of small tubcrclcs, from which run fine striolin
into the disc of the segment; the ninth segment is slightly
wider than the rest, it has a small spine on each side, and
it is notched at its extremity, a small lobe appearing be-
tween the divisions. The operculum extends beneath the
sevcnth and eighth and base of the ninth dorsal segments.
The legs are of moderate length; the anterior simple, with
the femora curved at the base; the intermediate femora arc
furnished on the upper fore edge with three large rounded
leaflets, the bind edge being tuberciilntcd; the hind femora
are irregularly and slightly serrated, as arc the four posW-
rior tibia~. The basal joint of all the tarsi is nearly equal
to the three following in length.

This species, of which I have seen only a single female
iudividual, is entirely of a dull brown colour, slightly varied
with luteous; it is finely rugose, with slender elevated lines
and minute gTanulations wide apart. The head is elan.
gated behind the eyes, with a dark mark down the centre
of the crown. The antenum arc long and slender, the
basal joint oval and depTessed The mesothorax is mode-
ratclv elongated and gradually widened, with a raised cen.
tm! line extending also along the metathamax, which is
gradually wider than the mesothorax, and about three-fifths
at its entire length; its hinder division is short, with a
raised, slightly curved line on each side. The abdomen is
not longer than the thorax; it is wide and subdcprcsscd,
with the terminal segments gradually attenuated; on either
side of the slightly raised median line is a curved line simi-
larly raised, and another nearer the lateral margins scarcely
defined. The three terminal segments are strongly can-
nated; the seventh joint considerably longer than the pre-
ceding; the eighth and ninth of equal length, cach being
nearly equal to the sixth. The ol)crculum is swollen at
it~ base; it extends a little beyond the extremity of the
abdomen, and is deeply cmarginate at its tip. The legs
are slender; the fore femora with the upper edge dilated;
the four posterior femoma with several small rounded lobes
in pairs upon the upper edges of the thighs; the tibiae also
slightly and irregularly lobed; the tarsi are short, with the
basal joint not longer than the three following united.

1 do not consider it requisite to adopt Xl. Montrouzier's
suggestion for suppressing Boisduval's generic name for
this group, because some of the species arc not so strongly
spined as the type. The Kara6idion australe which led
to the suggestion, has, in fact, the hind legs of the male
even more strongh', although less numerously, spined than
in E. liorrida.

The figure of this fine insect given by Boisduval, as well
as the much better one published by Messrs. Audoulu and
Brulh~, represent the male. Xl. Servile, however, very
carefully describes the structure of both sexes, which differ
chiefly in the form of the abdominal segments (Ti. n. Orth.
p. 27S).
The last-named author having the P/ia3ma dslatat,im of
Shaw in view, considered, that as tbat insect, although a
female, was provided with rudimental wings, it might, from
its large size, be suppostd to be a fully developed female of
the present genus, and hence that the Eurycant lea Isorrida
of Boisduval was most probably only a larva, which, being
a male insect, would from analogy ultimately acquire more
fully-developed wings th~~ those of the female, F/a. dila-
tatum. Burmeister (Handb. d. Eat. ii. 570) also considered
Eur. itorrida to be a larva. On the contrary, I feel con-
vinced that this species is an apterous one, and that it is
already known to us in its ultimate form. Not only hnvt
the insects themselves all the appearance of maturity, but
the figure of the larva of the present species, ~ by De
Ilnan, as well as the analogy afforded by the new species
described below (of which several specimens in various
states of growth arc contained in the National Collection),
sufficiently prove that these insects are no longer in the
larva state, whilst their want of the slightest rudiments
of wings or tegmina equally proves that they are nevtr
destined to acquire organs of flight. Hence the observa-
tions of Serville and Burmeister on the probability that
this genus would ultimately be found to merge into Ikir-
ropteryr, cannot be adopted.

of this curious species :-" On Ic trouvc dans les licux om-

Male pitchy, slightly varied with chestnut, and glossy; female more chestnut-coloured, with the sides more luteous. The head is almost square, marked in the female with a dark cordate spot between the eyes, and six longitudinal dark stripes on the hinder part; in each sex there are two minute punctures on the front part of the crown. The antennæ extend to the extremity of the fore tarsi. The prothorax is somewhat larger than the head, the mesothorax twice the length of the prothorax, and the metathorax about tbree-fourths of the length of the mesothorax, but wider, with the sides swollen, especially in the male, and armed with small spines. The abdomen in the male is narrower than the thorax, with the sides nearly parallel; it is as broad as the thorax in the female, with the segments gradually attenuated from the middle to the tip; it is bright chestnut-coloured, very glossy, with the six basal segments varied with small irregular black spots arranged in two series on each side of the median line, and an oblique impressed line on each side. The male has the body beneath pitchy, glossy, destitute of tubercles, and with the margins of the abdominal segments paler luteous. The under side of the body of the female is glabrous, destitute of tubercles, paler luteous-chestnut, with the middle and hind part of the prosternum, the hind part of the mesosternum, and the middle of the metasternum darker chestnut. The terminal segment of the body is truncate in the male, with the outer angles produced, and armed beneath with minute transverse teeth; it is also notched in the middle, and is furnished beneath with two small oval lobes; the three terminal ventral segments in this sex are simple. The terminal segment of the abdomen in the female is small, suboval, emarginate in the middle. The opcrculum extends beneath and beyond the three terminal segments. The four anterior legs are nearly similar in size in both sexes, but the hind pair in the male have the femora enormously dilated, carinated above and toothed beneath; the tibiæ greatly bent, and shutting upon the femora beneath and between the strong teeth; the two hind femora in the female are but slightly thickened and spined beneath.
A young specimen of the female in the British Museum Collection measures 2¼ inches in length, and has the operculum not extending beyond half the length of the ninth dorsal segment. It agrees in general form with the full-grown female, except in being somewhat more slender.

Pursuing the principle laid down in the introductory
observations of this work, we have now arrived at those
groups which in their imago state acquire more or less per-
feedy developed organs of eight, either in both sexes or in
the males, the females being in the latter case either en-
tireic destitute of even rudimentary wings and wing-covers,
or having them very small. In all cases, however, except
indeed in the females of the singular genus P/s ylfiurn, the
tegmina arc of small size, and incapable of forming a
defence to the wings; to supply which want, a provision
is made in the anterior area of the hind wings being of a
more coriaceous nature than the hinder portion, the former
being moreover longitudinally veined, whilst in the posterior
area the veins arc arranged like the ribs of a fan; so that
this portion of the wing alone folds up, and is then covered
by the flattened cost.al area. in P/s ylloim, however, by a
singuiar modification, the wing-covers of the females, when
shut, are so large that they nearly cover the abdomcn,-a
beautiful adaptation indeed, since the delicate texture of the
dorsal membrane of the hind part of the broad and flattened
body, as well as the large mass of eggs which it contains,
require more defence than could have been afforded either
by abbreviated tegmina, or wings even of large size folded
up in the oTdrnary manner. Lience, as well as from the
sluggish habits of these insects, the inntility of a pair of
mcrnbranous wings; and we accordingly find them reduced
to mere rudiments (except in one species described by Dc
Hanu). The males, on the other hand, have the true
wines of large size and very delicate in structure, with the
costa] area itself quite membranous; but yet the tegmina,
preserving the true family character, arc only of small size,
and useless as means of defence to the wings.
Some difficulty will doubtless be experienced in respect
to specimens of winged species not yet arrived at maturity,
in which the wings and wing.covcrs only appear in a very
rudimental state, as contrasted with others in which these
organs, in the final state, arc also merely rudimentary. I
believe, however, that a careful examination of their struc-
ture will sufficiently exhibit the difference between these
organs in the two different conditions of existence. Jo
Plate XXVII. fig. 4, I have represented the pupa of a
winged species, in which the rudimental wings extend as
far back as the bind margin of the metanotum: they are,
however, not free in their movement, and quite different
in texture from the wings of, for instance, the species

figured in the following Plate (XXVIII. fig. 4), or the
female represented in Plate XI. fig. 2. The condition of
the organs of flight in the immature states of the genus
Plqfihiurn is represented in Plate XXXI.
Another difficulty results from our imperfect knowledge
of the opposite sexes in so great a proportion of the species
described in this work. The great diversity in the sexes
of many of the insects described by the earlier writers upon
the f~tmily, led them not only to consider the males as
distinct species from the females, but also as belonging to
different genera placed in different sections of the family.
Wherever it has been possible, this difficulty has been cleared
up in the present work: but there are many male insects
I described in the following pages, especially in the genera
Nccroscia and Pliasma, which in all probability possess
wingless partners; whilst it is equally probable that many
of the wingless female insects already described in the pre-
ceding pages, especially in the genus Bacteria, may prove
I to possess winged males. The study of such species as
Monans'lroptera inuncans, and the remarkable insect which
1 have described under the name of Prostasi.,, is especially
instructive - showing, in the latter case, that a female
insect, which may be completely mistaken for a female Ba-
cillus, possesses a winged male. The classification of the
species can only therefore, at present, be regarded as ap-
proximate; nor will it be perfected until we are acquainted
with a far greater number of the true pairs of the species
than we arc able at present to determine.
Following the order suggested by the amount of alary
development, the following arrangement commences with
those groups in which the wing-corers and wings are deve-
loped in the slightest degree, and terminates with those in
which they are of large size, and fitted for flight in both
sexes. A character connected with the organs of flight, of
some importance, but which has not hitherto received so
much attention as it deserves, and which must be given to
it when the knowledge of the sexes of the different species
is more extended, exists in the furcation or simplicity of
the main vein of the costal area of the wings; the furcate
I character occurring occasionally in both sexes, and some-
times only in the females.
Considerably greater importance has been given to the
possession or absence of ocelli, as affording sectional divisions
in the famib', than I am disposed to concede to this pecu-
liarity; these organs being sometimes scarcely capable of

being distinguished from small frontal tubercics, whilst in
other instances they arc of large size. Species also which
are otherwise closely allied together, arc either furnished
with, or svant these organs. One instance also occurs. in
FL Cacius, in which some of the male specimens possess,
whilst others want, the ocelli.
The comparative lengths of the parts of the thorax, which
has been relied upon as a primary divisional character in
the family, in like manner appears to me to be of compa-
ratively little generic value: that it is, on the contrary, of
high specific importance, will be at once perceived from the
uniform employment I have made of it in my specific cha-
racters and measurements.

I. havc here arranged together, provisionally, several
species which agree in the minute size of the organs of
flight, in what 1 regard as the final state of their existence.
In the species from India and Mexico the tegminn are not
at all developed, whilst they exist in a very small and ru-
dimental state in the Australian species. In other respects
the species have close relations with other groups. The
female of .1. rittata approaches Pygor/~~i~c/uta; .1. tIe-

arranged in .ticanlltoderua; whilst some of the Australian

Plate III. fig. I represents an insect in the British Mu-
scum Collection which I had at first regarded as the female
of a distinct species, and had proposed to name un. cres-
piwnies, the operculuin being as fully developed as in the
full-sized females of An. de.cpecta. It, however, so closely
agrees in all its general characters with the females of An.
ck~ipec~a (differing only in the slighter development of the
tubercies, spines, and leaflets), that 1 think it more prudent
to consider it as a small fcmale of that species. The body
is pale hiteous opake brown, with the wing-scales pale yellow
with a black line on each side; the legs are slightly varied
with small brown points; the body beneath is concolorous
and similarly rugose; the thoracic and abdominal segments
marked with two longitudinal raised lines on each side.

Opake dull brown; elongate, cylindrical, the meso- and
metathorax being rather dilated in their hind part. The
head is tuberculated in its hind part. The antenmc are
muhtiarticulate, the basal joint of modcn~tc size. The pro.
thorax is armed with three pairs of erect spines and smaller
lateral tubercies. The inesothorax is long and slender,
except at its hind part, which is dilated; it is armed with
several spines at its anterior and posterior parts, two of
larger size being close together and adjoining the hiud
margin. The metathorax bears two erect spines a little in
advance of its middle, and immediately behind these are
two minute clytriform scales lying close upon the back, of
a pale rosy colour with a black line down the middle of
each; the bind part of the meththorux is dilated, with the
sides spined in front of the hind legs. The abdomen is
lone, slender, and cylindrical, with the seventh joint gra-
dually widened at the hind part, and the eighth gradually
narrowed to its extremity; the ninth segment is widened
behind, with its outer angles deflexed and bent inwards, the
inner edge being armed with strong spines set transversely,
and furnished with two hirsute styles; the terminal ventral
segments not exten cling beyond the eighth dorsal segment.
The legs arc rather short, with the femora thickened to-
wards the tips; the anterior femora arc curved at the base,
and the inner cd~e is armed with three small spines near
the tip; the middle and hind femora are armed with
several smaller and two larger spines next. the tip. Al) the
tibi~ arc simple. The body beneath is paler brown, opake,
with the segments simple, covered with very minute whitish
points, which arc more numerous on the anterior part of
the mesostcrnum.
Is it possible that this can be the male of the next
species?

This species is distinguished by its wide flattened form,
its granulated surface, and the pale longitudinal stripes on
the upper surf~tce of its body. The head is armed with
small pointed tuberdes, as well as the protborax, on which
those next the median line arc larger and arranged in pairs.
The antennae are broken off at the twenty-second joint. The
mesothorax is considerably dilated at the sides in the middle,
the lateral margins being serrated; in the widest part the
disk is raised into two elevated conical tubercics; beyond
the middle it is narrowed, but is again dilated at the place
of insertion of the middle legs. The meuttborax is ob-
long, serrated at the edges, dilated at the base of the hind
legs, and furnished on the middle of its upper side with two
small elytriform scales. The abdomen is wide, with the
sides of each segment dilated, the disk with a longitudinal
raised vitta and several longitudinal intern] darker lines and
marks; the three terminal segments arc considerably nar-
rower than the rest; the ninth is entire, and furnished at
the sides with a pair of small styles; the operculurn ex-
tends beyond the ninth dorsal segment, appearing like an
extra joint from above. The legs arc short and robust;
the two fore femora are curved at the base; the four poste-
rior are tuberculated along the fore edge and irregularly
serrated beneath; the tibim nrc slightly dilated within near
the base, the outer edge slightly and irregularly lobed.
The body beneath is opake and entirely covered with very
minute whitish granules.

The male is scrj slender, cylindrical, smooth, pale lu-
teous buff. The antennae arc rather longer thau the fore
femora. The mesothorax is marked with two very fine
black lines down each side. The tegrnina are small, nar-
rowly ovate, pale luteous-colourcd, areolated, with small
black dots enclosed in the areohe. The wings are minute,
steel-blue and glossy; the costal area greenish at the ex-
tremity with black dots, sanguineous at the base. The ab-
domen is slender (the three terminal segments are wanting
in the unique male in the National Collection); the basal
segments have a rudimental lobe almost indistinct in the
middle of the hind margin of each. The legs arc long and
slender, the four hind ones finely serrated on the under
side of the femora.
The female is more rohust and brown, with the meso-
thorax and abdominal segments granulose; the tegmina
and wings are coloured as in the male; the middle of the
central abdominal segments is more distinctly lobed; the
terminal segment is slightly notched in the middle, with
the two very short thick anal styles visible at the sides.
The operculum scarcely extends beyond the base of the
ninth dorsal segment. The legs are shorter and more ro-
bust; the four hind fcmora arc more strongly serrated on
tbc under edge.

was, at first, tempted to believe that the unique speci-
men in the British Museum Collection was one which had
acquired an extra development in its transformations. The
abdomen is attenuated from the base to the apex, where it
is furnished with a pair of anal styles as long as the eighth
and ninth dorsal segments; it is of a luteous colour, smooth,
impunctate, but not glabrous. The head has a rather deep
impression between the eyes. The mesothorax is finch
granulated, and furnished at its hinder extremity with a
pair of minute oval tegmina. The metathorox is also fur-
nished with two minute rudimental wings, extending a very
short distance beyond the extremity of the tegtnina. The
four hind femora are armed beneath, between the middle
and the tip, with two to four minute spines; the tibiic arc
slender and simple. The operculum is small, scarcely ex-
tending beyond the middle of the eighth dorsal segment.
The antcnna~ anti two fore legs are wanting in the singit.
female specimen which I have examined.

Long and slender; the male very slender and fihiforrn,
entirely of an obscure red-brown colour, with the surface of
the body smooth, except the upper surface of the ineso-
thorax and base of the metathorax, which are densely
covered with very minute granules. The head is of mode-
rate size and unarmed. The rnctanotum of the male is
simple; but that of the female is furnished with two
minute, free, moveable, ova!, reticulated scales, rcscmbling
rudimental tegmina. The abdomen is long and simple;
`he terminal segments in the male nrc short, forming an
oval mass, the last terminated by two small 1obe~ exposing
the short caudal styles. The terminal segments of the
fcrnalc exhibit a structure I have rarely met with in the
family: the ninth segment has its apical outer angles
rounded, with the short anal styles visible at the sides;
the extremity is slightly emarginate, exposing a minute tcr-
xninal rounded lobe. The operculum is long and deeply
incised at the tip; it extends far beyond the terminal seg-
ment, and is accompanied on either side by a slender com-
pressed elongated style, channelled externally, with a deep
slit at its apical end, and, with the extremity of its upper
edge prolonged into a spine, detached and lying outside of
the upper edge of the lower division; within the space thus
formed lie two long and flattened slender filaments, nearly
as long as the operculuxn, incurved towards their tips. The
legs are long, slender, and simple; all the tarsi, however,
have a small node at the base of the first joint, which is
setosc on the under side.

Considering the possession of a pair of wIngs in the
males and the absence of alarv organs in the females as the
leading character of this group, we find severs] distinct
types of structure among the males as well as amongst the
much fewer females with which we are acquainted. The

elongated, pointed, and bifid at the tip; whereas in the
Australian Ph. Caprella, the Manilla Ph. longicorne, and
the New World species allied to P/i. gracite, it is of the usual
shape, and in the Brazilian P/i. Le Peletierli it is greatly
elongated: on the other hand, the females of Ph. Pytlio.
niua have the oviduct twice the length of the three terminal
segments of the body, and in Ph. Le Peletierü, fern., it cx.
tends a short distance beyond the extremity of the abdo-
men; whilst in P/i. Acantlaopua, fern., it is not visible at all
from above, the terminal dorsal segment being truncated.
Corresponding variations may possibly be simultaneous in
both sexes of the different types of form, but they do not
nppear to be concurrent with the geographical distribution
of the species. The males of some of the smaller species
approximate very closely to some of the more slender
species of Yecroscia, and it is not improbable that it will
be found necessary to remove them to that genus or to
P/s asnac, should their females prove to be winged.
in the uncertainty which exists as to the apterous or
winged condition of the females of the types of the genus
Ckzdozerus (Cl. aerratipes, gracilia, &c.), I have preferred
retaining the generic name given by Mr. G. B. Gray to the
male of the Brazilian species (P/i. Le Peletierli). Hence, if
these females should ultimately prove to be winged, it will
be necessary to remove them from the genus and restore
to them the generic name of Cladoxerus.

I have adopted the usual plan, where the sexes of a spe-
cies have been described under different names, of retaining
that of the male in preference to that of the female, although
the latter has been employed for both the sexes by B~r-
meister and Charpentier. I have the greater pleasure in
doing this, as commemorative of th~ name of my late friend
the Count Le Peletier de Saint Fargenu, one of the most
ardent and laborious of entomologists.
The elongated opcrculum of the male, with the remark-
able arrangement of the chief veins of the costal area, arc

Having obtained a specimen of this fine insect for the
Hopcian Museum through the kindness of M. Westermana
during my visit to Copenhagen in the summer of lS~8, I
am induced, from its auniogy with the females of the two
preceding species, to infer that its male must be a winged
insect, and, that it will here find its proper generic position.
The characters above given will serve, in addition to those
from Burmeister, copied in page .5S, to distiziguish it from

Hab. Fccjee Islands (D. Macgillirray). B.M., &c.
This fine species, which is one of the most striking re-
cent acquisitions in the family, was collected by Mr. Mac-
gillivray in Ngau, one of the Feejee Islands.
The male, of which 1 have only seen a single specimen,
quite recently sent home by Mr. Macgihlivray, is very long,
slender, and cylindrical. The bead is destitute of ocdlli. The
mesothorax long, and slightly dilated at the insertion of the
forc legs. It is lutcous, with a greenish tinge; the two
rows of dorsal spines arc much stronger than in the females,
and black; there arc also two rows of minute spines on
each side, and two still smaller along the prosternum. The
mnctathorux has a row of very small points along the flank,
with a deep double impression near the hind extremity of the
mctastcrnum, beyond which is a poLat on each side. The
abdomen is long and fihiform; the three terminal segments
small. The tegmina small and truncate, greenish, with the
lateral margin yellow. The wings arc large; the costal
area pale lutcous bufT greenish at the base, with a yellow
line, the hind part with a row of small brown dots; the
principal `rein is furcntc in the left wing; the hinder area
is very pale buff, rather darker at the tip, the veins pale
reddish brown. The legs are long, with the feinorn rather
strongly serrated.
The female has the head small, oval, convex, and desti-
tute of spines or tubercics, with a small transverse impres-
sion between the eyes. The antcnn~ are long and slender,
and consist of about twenty-nine or thirty joints, gradually
becoming very long after the ci;htl~ joint. The prothovo~c is
small, oblong, the surface irregular, the fore margin excised,
the anterior angles truncate, a small deep puncture within
each angle. The mesothorax is the widest part of the body,
being much dilated before and slightly contracted behind
the middle; the upper surface is entirely smooth, except
towards its sidc~, where it is slightly punctured; the con-
necting lateral membrane with a row of small black spines.

The metathorax is about two-thirds of the length of the
mesothorax, oblong convex, smooth, with the lateral margin
on each side armed with a similar row of small black spines;
the mx basal abdominal segments are large, smooth, convex,
and destitute of spines, with an acute lateral margin; the
three terminal segments are small and narrowed, the eighth
segment being the shortest, the ninth gradually attenuated
and rounded behind, and with the two short caudal styles
scarcely visible at its sides. The opcrculum is very long
and boat-shaped, extending the length of the three termi-
nal dorsal segments; beyond the extremity of the abdomen
it is furnished within with two compressed, narrow, sabre-
shaped appendages, as long as the operculum itself. The
legs arc moderately long, the thighs strongly, and the under
edge of the tibite less strongly serrated.
A female specimen in the National Museum, smaller
than the usual-sized individuals, has the sides of the mcso-
thorax almost parallel.

dividual, which I have examined and sketched, from the
I Leyden Collection. The type of the female in the Berlin
Museum is a gigantic insect, of which I have given the
proportions above. The sixth ventral segment has a small
spine in the middle of its hind margin; the terminal dorsal
segment is truncated or rather slightly tnilobed, and the
operculum is bout-shaped, and extends nearly to the extre-
mity of the last dorsal segment. The anal styles arc very
minute.

The mate is long and very slender, destitute of spines,
except on the legs. The head is much broader than the
prothornx, oval, very convex in its hinder part, the middle
of which is elevated into two minute conical tubercies of
unequal size. The mesothorax is long, smooth, and of
equal width, except at the hind part; it is of the same
length as the metathorax. The tegmina arc oborate,
much constricted towards the base, the middle being raised
into a large rounded tuberclc; they arc dirty ashy brown,
with the base of the outer margin lutcous. The wings are
large, but narrow, very slightly tinged with brown, and
with darker brown longitudinal veins. The costal area is
pale greenish brown, pale luteous along the base of the
outer margin; the chief vein is furcate in both wings at
half an inch from the base; the transverse rcinlet.s are very
numerous, straight, and distinct. The abdomen is long,
cylindrical, and smooth; the seventh segment gradually
widened, and the ninth deeply slit at its extremity; the

anal styles short; the terminal ventral segments short and
much swollen.
The female has the body smooth, but much thicker than
that of the male. The head is very convex behind, but
without the two tubercies. The mcsothorxix widened gra-
dually. The metathoriix is one-third shorter than the
mesothorax; it has a minute tubercie in the middle. The
abdomen is long and thick; the sixth segment is lobed on
each side; the seventh longer than the sixth; the eighth
and ninth short, the latter cmarginatc-tnzncate at its cx-
trcmitv; anal styles short and deflexed. The operculum
does not quite extend to the extremity of the body. The
legs in both sexes arc strongly serrated along their different
angles, those of the male being longer and more slender; the
basal joint of all the tnrsi is compressed along its upper edge.

A unique male of this species forms part of the National
Collection. It is remarkable for the great length of the
abdomen, spinose legs, and especially the structure of the
terminal segments of the abdomen. It is slender and cylin-
drical, the body being destitute of spines. The bead rather
large, oval, and subdcprcsscd, nearly smooth, with a pale
patch in front, and another on each side behind the antenme
pale yellow. The antenn~ have the extremity broken off
at about I -} inch from the base; the joints remaining are
long and finely hairy. The mesothorax is slender and
cylindrical. The tegmina are small and narrow, with a
strong carina elevated considerably in the middle. The
wings arc moderately large, but not wide; they are pale
brown, with the costal area rather darker brown; the chief
vein is furcate at a short distance from the base. The ab-
domen is very long and fihiform; the seventh dorsal seg-
ment gradually widened, the eighth gradually narrowed,
the ninth elongated and deeply bifid, the two divisions
gaping considerably and denticulated ott their inner surface,
with the two anal styles inserted on the under surface, and
not so long as the divisions of this terminal segment; the
three terminal ventral segments are abbreviated, not ex-
tending to the extremity of the eighth dorsal segment. The
legs, especially the anterior pair, are elongated and rather
slender; all the femora rather strongly serrated on all their
edges; the tibuc less strongly serrated, the four posterior
with a more conspicuous spine on the outer edge towards
the base; the basal joint of the tarsi rather flattened and
dilated.

The head is marked with two short stripes on the crown,
followed by two lines posteriorly diverging, and two lon-
gitudinal lines behind the eyes. The anteazuc arc rather
short, 21-jointed; the joints from the fifth to the tip long
and slender. The prothorax has a triangular black spot in
the middle in front, and two lateral dark lines. The ineso-
thorax is long, slender, and cylindrical, with a slender black
line on each side. The teginina arc small, with the outer
apical angle slightly produced, the central carina dark and
rather strong. The wings arc pale, slightly stained with
yellowish brown; the costal area rather darker, its fore
margin dirty white, with the extreme edge for a short
distance from the base black; the transverse veinlets ab-
breviated. The abdomen is long and nearly filiforzn; the
three terminal segments bastate; the mouth slightly emar-
gionte at its apex, exposing the two porrected anal styles;
the seventh and eighth dorsal segments with small black
dots; the three terminal ventral segments short, swollen,
aot extending to the extremity of the eighth dorsal segment.
The legs are vezy long, slender, and siniple; the basal
joint of the tar~i, especially in the fore legs, very long.

Closely allied to Cl. Crtjplzaleua, Wcstw., but consider-

base. I have, however, only seen a single specimen of each,
not in fine condition, and can scarcely decide on its true
difference from that species. The head is rather broad;
eyes large, with a dark mark between them. The antenna~
arc rather wore than 2 inches long, 24-jointed; the joints
long and finely hairy. The inesothorax is very long,
slender, and cylindrical. The tegmina are small, narrow,
and rounded behind, with a strong angulated carina; the
fore margin is pale greenish. The wings arc of moderate
size and rather narrow, nearly transparent; the costal area
with a very slight greenish-brown tint. The abdomen is
long and filiform; the three terminal segments broadly di.
hated, the seventh segment being gradually widened from
the base to the extremity; terminal segment small, emargi-
nate in the middle, exposing the two porrected obtuse anal

tibia, that on the opposite side wanting the spine. Tarsi
with the basal joint very long.

The great length of the mesothorax and its very slen-
der proportions render this a very conspicuous species, of
which, however, I am only acquainted with the single male
represented in the accompanying figure. It is very long
and slender, destitute of spines, smooth, of a greenish-
brown colour, with the antcnnm and legs red-brown. The
head is wide, with two very small conical tubercles between
the eves, and a small circular impression behind the clypeus;
it is fulvous-coloured. Eyes very prominen:. Antennu~
long, filiform; the joints scarcely distinguishable and very
numerous, rather long in the middle and short towards the
tips. ?dcsothorax very long and fihiform. Tcgmina small,
rather oblong, with the carina strongly elevated towards the
base, brown, with the anterior margin white. Wings mo-
derate-sized, slightly stained with dusky; costal area
browner. Abdomen long and slender; the seventh and
eighth joints widest; the ninth square, snbtruncate behind,
with a raised semicircular space towards the extremity; a
white spot on each side of the eighth segment, and the
upper side of the ninth also white; terminal ventral seg-
ments abbreviated and very much swollen, scarcely extend-
ing beyond the extremity of the eighth dorsal segment;
anal styles curved, obtuse, not extending beyond the extre-
mity of the ninth dorsal segment, the under surface of
which is set with numerous short points. Legs long,
slender, and simple; basal joint of the tarsi more than half
the length of the entire tarsus.

Burmeister, in his Revision of the Order in Germar's
`Zcitschrift' (ii. p. 4!), and De flaan (p. 131), have re-
ferred this genus to Cladoxerua, Sen. (Pltibalosorna, supr.),
evdentlv, however, without having had an opportunity of
seeing the insects in nature; the former, at least, bad failed
to recognize the species, as I found. the mate in the Berlin
Museum, described by him under the name of Cypliocranic
acantlzomera; thus provin~, in effect, its generic distinction
from Cladozerus, and its much closer affinity to CypAo-
crania.
The fine female insect figured by me in the `Arcana En-
tomologica,' p1. 49, is so closely allied to the female of 3!.
inuncans, that I do not hesitate to refer it to the genus,
although it possesses extremely minute rudimental teg-
Inina; as is also the case with the insect in the Berlin Mu-
seum from the coast of A.fricn, described below under the
name of M. parallela.
It is with much greater doubt that I refer the large
apterous Brazilian female insect, also figured in my `Ar-
cans,' ii. pl. 61 (D. gibtosa, Burm), to this genus: not
only its geographical range, but also its unarmed legs
and peculiar-shaped thorax separate it from the Old World
species.

The male of this curious species is slender and subcylin-
drical, of a brownish luteons colour, with the abdomen
glossy. The head is rather longer than wide, rugose above,
especially behind, with large eyes. The nntcnnte arc short,
about 20-jointed; the basal joint broad and fiat. The
prothorax is rugose, and armed in front with two short
spines; two larger spines also arm the mids.llc of the front
margin of the mesonotum, which is covered with minute
whitish granules, as is also the mcsosternum. The teg..
mama arc small, oval, and with the middle of the canina mo-
derately elevated, the disc of the teginina within the cnrina
being marked with a black spot. The wings are of mode-
rate size, opake whitish, with a rather darker outer margin;
the costal area pale luteous, with the fore margin browner,
and with the chief veins (especially the median one) marked
with black lines; the latter is furcate near the base. All
the legs are finely serrated, with the four posterior femorn
armed along each of the two upper angles with four eqiu.
distant spines, the third being the largest and subfoli-
aceous. The extremity of the abdomen in the unique male
which I have seen is distorted, but the terminal ventral seg-
ments are but slightly swollen and very short. The tarsi
are short, with the basal joint not so long as the remaining
joints.
The female is opake brown, more rugose than the male.
The head subquadrate, with the hind margin very rugose.
The antennfc are still shorter than those of the male, with
the basal joint more dilated. The pro- and mesothorax arc
spined as in the male. The metanotum has on each side,
near the middle, an oblique row of short diverging spines;
and there is a conical rugose lobe just in front of each of
the posterior coxu~. The abdomen is cylindrical and ru-
gose; the anterior segmcnts have two small erect spines in
the middle of the anterior margin, and a diverging one
at each side of the posterior margin; the three terminal
segments have a raised and flattened irregular carina along
the middle, which in the eighth segment is prolonged
and furcate, and the last joint is spinose above; the whole
under-surface is armed with small spines. The operculumn
is swollen at. its base, and extends to the extremity of the
body. The legs are short and rugose; the spines larger
thait those of the males. The tarsi are very short, with
the basal joint not longer than the two following joints.

actionsb as well as the capture of' both scxcs of another
closely allied 8pcciCs in Borneo by Mr. Wallace, have proved
that Serville's speculations as to Parkinson's insect being
a fcmale of the genus Eurycanthu, of which males only,
supposed to be in an immature state (ultimately to become
winged), bad been described, are entirely groundless, and
lead us to conclude, without doubt, that the male of if.

This species approaches ~ closely to 17. Dc Haanii as
the latter does to II. Mullen, Dc U. It is, however,
very much larger (a number of specimens being uniform in
size), and is distinguished by the group of four spines at
the base of the tegmina, and the mottled appearance of the
latter.
The general colour is reddish brown, obscure, slightly
rugose, and armed with numerous small and a considerable
number of larger spines, those upon the body of the male
being much stronger than those of the female, while the
legs of the latter are shorter, stronger, and more strongly
spined. The head is armed on its bind part with eight
strong spines, arranged in two rows; the anterior lateral
angles of the protbornx have two strong spines, and there
are two near the hinder angles; on the middle of the disc
in front are two erect diverging spines, and a transverse
row of spinclets near the hind margin. The upper surface
of the inesothorax has a somewhat elevated triangular
space, bearing a strong pair of spines in front, a pair in the
middle, and an elevated group of four between the places
of insertion of the tegmina; a raised line also runs ob.
liqucly on each side from the fore angles to the base of the
tegmiun bearing a row of minute spines, and the extreme
lateral margin bearo about six spines on each side. The

mesothorax of the male is conical; of the female consider-
ably wider at the base than the hind part of the prothorax,
and gradually widened backwards. The mctathorax has
the sides much swollen and rounded, and strongly spined
on the margin, with a very strong spine on each side oppo-
site the middle of the tegmina. The abdomen of the male
is subeylindrical, gradually uarrowcd to the fifth segment,
the edges spined as well as the upper surface, a pair of
spines in the middle of the disc of each being the largest.
The female has the abdomen broad, subdcpressed, nar-
rowed from the fifth segment, the lateral margins finely
~pined, the upper surface armed with very minute spines,
the three terminal segments spineless, the ninth carinated,
and furnished at the tip with an oblong joint-like append-
age with four small teeth on each side; the three terminal
ventral ~cgmcnts in the mate are much swollen. The
operculum of the female extends to the extremity of the
anal appendage. The tegmina are oval, the extremity
being nore pointed, the base with a strong pale carina
extending one-third of their length: the wings extend to
the base of the abdomen. The legs of the male are mo-
derately long; those of the female shorter and more robust,
strongly spined throughout, the spines of the inner edge
of the hind tibi~ very strong and curved. The mesostcr-
num is armed with three small spines on each side, arid the
metasternuin with two; the basal segments of the abdo-
men with four longitudinal rows of spines; the cox~ of
all the legs aTe also strongly spined.
The species is named in h'rnour of G. R. Gray, Esq.,
whose writings upon the family have so greatly contributed
to our knowledge of the species.

Pitchy black, opake, with a chestnut tinge; strongly
spined on the bend, thorax and legs; the abdomen with
smaller spines, the spines tipped with dark fulvous. Head
nearly square, with two small spines between the eyes, and
eight larger on the hind part in pairs. Antcnnm 26-jointed,
the basal joint of moderate size, the last joint rather longer
than the two preceding together. Prothorax wider than
the head, widest behind, divided into two parts by a trans-
verse impression; the anterior part with four strong spines,
the posterior with two. The metathorax is gradually di-
lated; its dorsal portion is ratsed an(I narrowed behind to
the base of' the tegmina, it is rugosc, with a transverse row
of six strong spines in front, two wide apart in the middle
and two close together behind, and two smaller ones close
to the origin of the tegmina; the lateral deflexed part is
armed with numerous strong SpineS. The tegxnina are oval,
extending rather beyond the bind part of the metathorax,
and catirely covering the short wings; the sides of the
metathorax arc swollen and strongly spined. The abdo-
men is nearly as broad as the metathorax in front, and grit-
dually narrowed to the extremity; the six basal segments
are armed with small spines in the middle of the upper
surface as well as along their lateral margins; the ninth
segment is carinated down the middle, emarginate behind,
terminated by an oblong carinatcd appendage notched at
its sides and apex. The operculum is swollen, and extends
beyond the end of the ninth segment, but not beyond the
exposed anal lobe. The legs arc of moderate length, the
anterior feinora not curved at the base; all the femora an-
gulated, and strongly spined along each angle; the tibi~ are
strongly serrated, the hind ones with incurved spines on the
inner edge.
The body beneath is opake; the mesosternum on each
side with a row of three short spines, and two more in the
middle behind; the metasternum has two spines on each
side, two in the middle, and two in the middle of the hind
margin, which extends backwards between the bind legs;
the three basal abdominal segments arc also furnished with
two spines ou each side near the middle.

I have here restricted the genus to the large species, of
which an excellent figure of the female was first published
by Drury under the name of Mantis giga~c, the natural
history of which has since been investigated in the Island
of St.Vincent's by the late Rev. Lansdown Guilding, whose
specimens of both sexes, with the eggs and larva~, arc pre-
served in the British and Uopciau Museums; to this is
added the Platycrana venustula of Serville, and a third
West Indian species.
The other species introduced into the genus by Gray
appear to differ in no generic respect from his 4plopus mi-
cropterus. it seems to me to be most probable that the
Pl~.siophyllum Havaniense of MacLcay's MSS. (P/ui .nna
H., ante, p. 34, Plate XXII. fig. 7) may be the full-grown
female of P1. rca ieEE ida, or an allied species; in which
case, we shall have females of the group without any rudi-
ment of wings or wing-covers. The peculiar manner in
which the horns of the head are developed in the female of
this insect indicates an intimate relationship with the fe-
males of Hap kipus.

probably uniform green, the specimens having been pre-
served in spirits. The surface of the body is smooth, but
not glossy. The head is deflexed in front, the crown fur.
nisbctl with two tubcrcles, the right-hand one being the
larger; the hind part of the head has several small spines.
The autennm are of moderate length, the joints beneath are
black, beyond the middle also every fourth or fifth joint is
dark at the tip. The protbornx has two small spines at
its hind margin; the mesothornx is gradually widened,
with a few minute tubercics or spines on its disc, two near
the fore nu~rgin being more distinct; the sides of the meso-
thorax and metathorax are white, the former also armed
with a row of small spines. The tegmina arc small and
somewhat triangularly ovate, green, with the costal margin
beneath black; the wings are `very small and hyaline;
the costal area broad, coriaccous, green, with a black spot
beneath. The abdomen is long, tbc anterior segments
iuthcr broad, the remainder gradually narrowed to the end,
the three terminal ones being more suddenly narrowed.
The opercuhim is boat-shaped, as lung as or longer than
the two or three terminal segments of the abdomen. The
legs arc short and robust; the anterior femora with two
or three and the four posterior femora armed beneath with
six or eight spines; the tibia! dilated near the base, the
tips with several small spines; the basal joint of the tarsi
short.

Females broader, subdepressed, with the abdomen
greatly elongated, and the oviduct extending considerably
beyond the extremity of the abdomen.
Bead in both sexes with two unequal-sized tubercies,
that on the right side generally the larger. Ocelli want-
ing. Antenme of moderate length. Mesothorax con-
side rably elongated, often spinose. Tegmina small, oval,
shorter in the females. Wings of the male large; those of
the female `very small, not longer than the tegniina, not
reaching to the extremity of the metathorax, with but few
longitudinal veins. Legs comparatively short, thick in the
female, and oftt~n spined. Anal styles very smalL in the
female, more elongated and deflexed in the males.
The species of this group, as here restricted, are natives
of the West Indian Islands, the habitat of Ambovna given
by Stoll to H. ;nicroplerus being clearly erroneous. As a
group, they arc very closely allied to Diapherodei gigas
of Drury; indeed Gray unites several of them generically
with that insect. I cannot, however, separate them from
H. micropterus. It would therefore perhaps be more
natural entirely to sink the genus Diaph erodes, uniting
its species with the others.

the head, prothorax, and extremity of the abdomcn, as well
as the antenna! and legs, arc tinged with green. The head
is convex, with two slightly raised tubcrcles on the crown

behind the eyes. The antenntc are rather thick, with
about fifty-six short joints. The mesothorax is long, with
about a dozen small black conical spines disposed in irre-
gular rows along two-thirds of the anterior length. The
tegmina arc elongate ovate, not strongly angu]ated before
the middle; they arc of an elegant yellow colour, with five
bright green longitudinal streaks along the chief veins.
The wings are opake white, with a delicate pinkish tint,
especially towards the anal margin; the longitudinal veins
almost colourless; the costal area is coloured in the same
manner as the tegmina, the chief vein being furcate at the
distance of about half an inch from the base. The abdo-
men is very Ion; and cylindrical, slightly widened at the
base; the three terminal segments widened, the extremity
rather angularly emarginate in the middle; the three ter-
minal ventral segments moderately swollen, not extending
beyond the eighth dorsal segment; the anal styles extend-
ing backwards, and forming a small forceps The legs are
short and rather thick, especially the four posterior femora,
which are spined beneath; the basal joint of the tarsi is
about as long as the three following joints.

This species is very closely allied to .17. Evadne, but is
at once distinguished by its longer limbs, narrower wings,
and peculiar coloration. The head is very convex, and
armed on the top of the crown with two acute conical points,
black at the tip, the right one being the larger; the sides
of the head are whitish. The antennw are `~`ery long,
rather thick, composed of about sixty short joints. The
prothorax is armed with two small spines near its anterior
margin. The nicsothorax is slender and cylindrical, armed
with six or seven spines placed in two rows irregularly. The
teginina nrc elongate ovate, brown, glossy, with a strongly
raised conical tubercle near the base; the outer margin and
two elongated patches beyond the middle are white. The
wings are opake white, slightly tinged throughout with
pink, the whole of the veins being dusky coloured; the
costal area is pale brown, with a number of small elongated
whitish patches; the base is black. The mesostcrnuin is
armed with six small spines arranged in two longitudinal
series, and the metasternum with two pairs of similar but
rather larger spines; the sides of the latter are marked with
a narrow fulvous stripe. The abdomen is long, slebder and
cylindrical; the terminal segments white at. the sides, and
scarcely dilated; the three ventral segments short, not ex-
tending to the extremity of the eighth dorsal segment, and
but little swollen, and the anal styles are rather thick and
obtuse at the tips. The coxrn of all the legs arc fulvous,
the legs themselves green, moderately long and slender,
with the four posterior femora armed beneath with a few
small spines.

Neither Drury nor Fabricius mention the two mesotho-
racic spines (indeed Fabrickis says that the character of
the thorax constitutes the clncf difference between this spe-
cies and H. bispinosus). Drury's figure, however, clearly
exhibits the two erect black spines in front of the meso-
thorax. According to his figure, the head is also desti-
tute of the two tubercles, which arc likewise unnoticed by
Fabricius, who expressly describes them in H. 6ispinoaua.

Stoll incorrectly considered that the insect which he re-
presented in his figure 77 was a male in the pupa state, and
also that it came from Amboyna. There is no doubt, how-
ever, that it is a female arrived at the perfect state, and
that it is a native of the West Indies. The insect consi-
dered as this species in the Berlin Museum by Burmeister
is a female, with the following proportions :-

It has the legs shorter and thicker than is represented
by Stoll. The two tubercies on the bead are obtuse, the
right one being larger than the left. The protborax has
two pairs of tubercics in front; the niesothorax is armed
with numerous but small spines; the four hind femora
have three or four strong teeth along their hinder edge;
the sixth abdominal segment is a little dilated on each side
behind, and the operculurn is considerably broader at the
extremity of the body than the ninth ventral segment.

The original type of this species is contained in the
British Museum Collection. It is a female, and is wider
and more robust than the preceding. The bend is armed
with one strong tubercie on the right-band side of the
crown, and there arc two pairs of small spines in front of
the mesonotum. The wings do not extend to the extre-
mity of the nictanotum; they are, however, considerably
larger than those of the preceding species. The legs arc
also longer than in that species; the sixth abdominal seg-
ment has the sides rounded and rather dilated.

I am unable to satisfy myself whether the insect in the
Cabinet of the Linucean Society, described as above by
Mr. G. B. Gray as a male pupa, is not in reality a male irnago
with rudimental tegmina and wings. The specimen whilst
licing has evidently undergone some accident, as the left
hind leg is scarcely more than half an iDch long, whilst the
right-hand one is longer than the entire abdomen. The
bead in this specimen, as also in the female, is armed with

two spines, the prothorax with seTeral pairs of smaller
spines, and the mesothornx with numerous spines placed
irregularly; the sides of the metathorax in the femaic are
also spined, as well as the under side of all the femorn in
the male and female. The male bits the three terminal seg.
inents of the body thicker than the preceding; the female
has the sixth abdominal segment rounded, and rather di-
l~ted at the sides; and the operculuin of the same sex ex-
tends nearly an inch beyond the extremity of the abdomen.

The male of this species is quite slender and subcylin-
dric, with a glossy surface, and in its dried state of a
light bnightish brown colour, with the sides of the head
and of the terminal segments of the abdomen white. The
head is oblong, very convex, with t*o strong short horns
in the middle of the crown, that on the right side being
the larger; they are tipped with a short acute black point;
there are also two small black granules on the hind part of
the crown of the head. The antennae arc long and slender;
the jOtnts are about twice as long as thick, there being
sixty-four joints in each antenna. The protborax is fur-
nishcd near its fore margin with two black points; and the
mesothorax has four pairs of similar points, the hinder part
being quite smooth. The tegmina arc about two-thirds of
the length of the mesothorax, oval, with a strongly elevated
protuberance in the middle; they are of a dirty glaucous-
grey, with the edges varied with white markings. The
wings are about half the length of the entire body, milk-
white, with a slight rosy-brownish tinge; the anterior part
dull glaucous-grey, darker at the base, with white markings,
especially on the fore margin. The abdomen is very long
and slender; the sixth segment with a. small lobe on each
side; the three terminal segments rather wider than the
rest, and short; the terminal ventral segment not extending
beyond the eighth dorsal segment. and considerably dilated
at its base; the two terminal styles porrected and obtuse.
Legs short and strong; the anterior pair simple; the four
posterior fernora slightly spined along the under edge;
basal joint of the tarsi about as long as the three following
joints. Meso. and xnctasterna with a few black points.
The female is of an opake dirty glaucous-white colour.
The horns of the head of unequal size, as in the male. The
~,ro- and mesothorax much more thickly marked with
small points, black at the tip. The tegmina arc short and
nearly rounded, thickly reticulated with paler nerrures, and
with a moderately raised tubercie beyond the middle. The
wings are nearly equal in length to the tegmina; their an-
terior portion is dirty greenish-brown; the hind part
thickly reticulated with black veins. The abdomen is very
long and gradually attenuated to the tip; the oviduct is
~y long and boat-shaped, the cxscrted portion being
nearly equal to the four preceding segments in length.

dilated and foliaceous; the fernora strongly emargirLate on
the inner margin; the four posterior lobed; tarsi with
small compressed joints. Abdomen of the female with the

I am induced to follow M. SenjUe in separating the
curious insect upon which he has founded this genus (toni
the preceding group, although it is certainly very closely
allied to such species as Haplopus inieropterus (angula!us,
Burm.) and H. spin:pes, G. R. Gray (PA. angulata, Pal. 33.);
the dilatation of the legs, the lobed condition of the hind
ones, the curious mirror-like patch at the base of the costal
area of the wings, and the dilated sides of the sixth abdo-
minal segment seem to warrant this step, which wiU, I have
no doubt, be fully confirmed when the male shall be dis-
covered.

Deceived by the locality of Australia given to this species 1
by Mr. G. II. Gray, as well as by his short, incomplete, and
not quite accurate description, I had regarded the male in
the British Museum Collection as a distinct species; but
an examination of the tvpkal specimen in the Hopeian Col-
lection at Oxford has convinced mc that it is identical with
it. Mr. hope's specimen is also n male, and it has no
locality attached to it; so that the locality of Australia
given to it must have been conjectural. Both sexes are
contained in the Royal Museum at Berlin, and the female
is also in the Leyden Museum.
The foUowiug is Mr. G. R. Gray's description of this
S1)CC~CS :-" Brunneus, cornubus inter oculos duobus longis,
compre~ts; thorace rugoso; nlis brunucis, margine supe~
non nigrcsccntibus, basi nigris, nervis obscunis et albo ma-
culatis; tegtninibus in medio paulurn elevatis; pedibus
longis gracilibus simplicibus hir~utis."
The male is very slender, with a disproportionately long
abdomen, the hind legs not cxtcnding beyond its extremity,
and with a comparatively short mesothorax. It is ashy-
coloured, with the abdomen brown, and the legs obscurely
fasciated. The hc~d and anterior parts of the thorax are
granulated; the former with a large double setose horn,
porrected in front, arising between the eyes. The ccclii
arc large; the anterior placed in front of the frontal horns,
and the lateral ones at their sides. The antenme are up-
wards of 2} inches in length, finely setose ; they consist in
the British Museum specimen of thirty-eight joints, but
some at the tip arc probably broken off; the joints arc elon-
gated, the base of each pale, and the apex darker. There is
a small spine on each side of the bead between the eyes and
maudibles. The mesothorax is not longer than the head
and i~rot1ioiax united; it is slender and subcvlindnical. The
abdomen is very long; the three terminal joints short, the
last emarginate at the tip, exposing the ends of the short
anal styles; the three terminal ventral segments are ab-
brcviittcd, the last not extending beyond the middle of the
eighth dorsal segment, it is moderately swollen. The teg-
mina are elongate-ovate, with a strongly elevated tuberele
between the base and the middle; the fore mnr~in is
whitish, with a black oblong patch. The wings are large;
the costal portion pale brownish-buff, with a dark brown
spot at the base; the hind portion brown, with pale buff
spots irregular in size, but mostly circular and arranged on
the longitudinal veins. The legs are slender and setose;
the anterior pair considerably elongated; the fore femora
with a small spine on the upper edge in the middle; the
middle and hind fcmora with a small spine near the base
beneath, and a little further removed from the base, above;
all the tibim have two small spines on the outer edge, one
before and the other beyond the middle; the tarsi are
short, with the basal joint of the fore legs rather dilated.
The female has the wings half the length of the abdo-
men. The mesothorax is proportionably longer and much
wider than in the male, with two pairs of tubercles on its
upper surface. The third, fourth and fifth segments of
the abdomen are produced on the hind dorsal margin into
two small pointed lobes; the eighth segment is very short;
the ninth longer, truncate at its extremity; and the oper-
culum does not extend beyond the middle of the ninth
dorsal segment.

JIab. In Malu~ca (II. Wallace). In Mus. Saunders.
Specimens of this species of large size have been col.
lected by Mr. Wallace in Malacca, which I at first con-
sidered sufficiently distinct to lorm a separate species. I
can, however, after more mature consideration, onk. regard
them as forming a local varietx, in which the body is quite
smooth, the head broad, and the eyes large. The antenna:
are long and slender, upwards of 70-jointed, the joints
beyond the middle becoming more and more indistinct,
except at mtcrsftls of four or five joints, which gives the
appearance of long compound joints. The bead is pale
lutcous, with seven longitudinal dark streaks on its hinder
portion, the middle ones being transversely united between
the eyes. The prothorax is square, the anterior angles
spiraculiferous, transversely impressed across the middle,
and marked with blackish stripes, two of which form a `V
in the middle of the front half; the mesothorax is also con-
sidcrablv varied with blackish, which colour leaves a pale
frontal hastate and two rcuiform lateral patches of luteous.
The metathorax is nearly as long as the pro- and meso-
thorax united. The abdomen is long, narrow and convex
in the male, wider in the female, with a dark longitudinal
median stripe, hating two larger oval and scveral smaller
dark spots on each side of it. The legs arc moderately
long and simple, luteous-cotoured; the femora and tibiae
with the extremity and ii fascia across the middle black;
the tarsi black, except the pale basal joint. The wings
arc brown; the costa! area pale green, with numerous

black spots and dots, len~ing the veins green; median vein
~impk. The terminal segnients of the abdomen of the
male are vc~ much swollen both above and below, and the
a~rnl styles arc dcftexed, broad, and eniarginate at the cx-
trcnnty. The female has the terminal joint rounded and
entire, the operculum very much swollen, and the anal styles
short and oval.

This species is allied to the preceding in being entirely
destitute of the rudiments of tegmina ; it has the an-
teuna~ very long and slender, the legs annulated, especially
near the extremity of the femora, and the costa of the
wines obscurely clouded. It n~rees in size with the male
of d. ajizie, Dc Uaan; but the wings are at least one-third
larger, and the lust segment of the under side of the body
shorter. The general colour is pale brown. The body is
narrow and subcvlindrical. The head is rather wider than the
prothc~rax, and is marked in the middle of the crown behind
with a small clark spot. The prothorax is rather longer
than the head, and the mesothorax is about one-third longer
than the prothorax. The autenu~ arc long and slender,
`with the joints short; beyond the middle they are marked
at irregular distances with a dusky ring at the extremity
of one of the joints, leaving two, three, or even four joints
between the dusky and slightly incrassated joints. The
tcgnLiua arc entirely obsolete. The wings nrc `vciy pale
brown, and rather opakc, with the costa! area darker In-
teous-brown, slightly clouded with irregular ill-defined paler
patches; all the veins are pale brown, the principal longi-
tudinal vein darker than the rest, and slightly spotted with
pale dots towards the base. The legs are slender; the fore
femora nearly straight at the base; all of them are ob-
scurely annulated with dusky, and with a more decided
ring near tile tip; the intermediate tibi~ are armed he-
neath with several minute Spines. The abdomen is lou~
and slender, slightly clavate at the tip, the last joint de-
flexed ant]. emarginate at its extremity; the two anal styles
rather long, defiexed and incurvcd; the seventh ventral
segment is distinct, but the two following arc coalesced
into a somewhat conical segment, scarcely swollen beneath,
and extending nearly to the extremity of the ninth dorsal
segment.

This specks seems, at first sight, closely allied to P/i.
Foratenii of Dc Ilaan; but the very peculiar shape of the
wings and the dilated anal styles of tbc male, together with
the reticulated costa! area of the wings of the male (not
noticed in this sex by Dc Hun, although he describes it in
the characters of the female of his Foratenii), the much
larger saze of the insect, and smaller bead, prove it to be a
distinct species. The general surface of the body is smooth,
opake, and black. The head as wide as the metathorax,
with the eyes large. The tegmina are minute, stipuliforin,
with the outer angle of the apex slightly produced. The
wings are dark brown, with black longitudinal veins; the
costal area is of the same colour, but its anterior margin
is Luteou.s, and it is thickly reticulated with veins of the
same colour. The abdomen is long and slender, clavate
at its extremity; the anal styles deflexed and incurred,
gradually widening to beyond the middle, and with the apex
obliquely truncate; the seventh ventral is distinct; but
the eighth and ninth arc coalesced into a convex joint,
not suddenly swollen at the base. The legs are short and
rather thick; the anterior femora straight at the base.

This species is considerably elongated, and is further di-
stin~uished by the minute spiniform tegmina. It is closely
allied to 4. Daunus, but has shorter legs and larger wings.
The nccompanyiu~ figure is taken from a specimen from
Malacca, which agrees with the origiuai type in the British
Museum, except that the wings arc slightly longer and
broader. The head is small, luteous brown, obscurely
marked with brown spots and lines. The nntemuc are
rather short and very slender; the joints pale at the ba~c,
dark at the extremity. The prothorax is about one-fourth
longer than wide, cylindrical, with a slightly impressed
median line. The mesothorax is rather wider than the
prothorax, and about twice as bug as it is broad; its sur-
face is slightly granulose, and varied with paler dots and
small dark spots in front and behind. The tegrnina arc
reduced to ~wo small, acute, obliquely elevated black spines.
The metathorax is about the length of the mesothorax, its
hinder division occupying about two-thirds of its whole
length. The abdomen is long and slender; the basal seg-
ments with, two black spots in front of each; the three ter-
minal joints short. The operculum swollen at the base;
the apex much compressed, extending to the middle of the
ninth dorsal segment. The wings are moderate-sized, pale
brown, with the longitudinal veins rather darker, the trans.
verse ones scarcely `c~sible; the costal area is luteous brown,
with numerous small, irregulaT, more or less distinct whitish
spots. The legs arc short, setose, single; the fore femora
thick, scarcely excavated at the base; the tibim slender,
and slightly ringed with pale luteous; hind legs uniformly
coloured beneath.

This is one of the largest species of the genus, and is
well distinguished by its short mesothorax, spiniform teg.
mina, setosc legs, and the round spots of the costa of the
wings. The head is small; the eyes prominent, but not
so wide as the mesothorax; it is dirty luteous, with a
square blacL patch in the middle of the hind part, and with
two blackish streaks behind the eyes. The antennce are
slender, with the joints gradually elongated, and with the
tips of the joints dusky; they are nearly destitute of hairs
(the tips arc broken off in the only specimen I have seen).
The protborax is longer than the head, dirty luteous, with
a dark patch in the middle of the fore margin, and a dark
lateral spot behind the eyes. The inesothorax, as well as
the mctathorax, has a large pale luteous spot in the middle
of its anterior dorsal portion. The abdomen is dirty lu-
teous, considerably varied with dusky markings; the three
terminal dorsal segments arc short, the seventh being con-
stricted at the base. The operculum is slightly boat-
shaped, and extends nearly to the extremity of the Inst
dorsal segment; the anal styles arc defiexed and obtuse.
The tegmina arc small, erect, and spiniform at the extre-
mity, the base of each curved and dilated. The wings are
`very pale brown, slightly darker along the apical margin;
the Costa darker luteous brown, varied with a considerable
number of white spots, the principal longitudinal `vein
being clouded with black for about half its basal length;
the other veins, transverse as well as longitudinal, are
whitish. The legs are short, rather thick, and hirsute; the
fore femora arc slightly curved at the base; the femora arc
all dirty pale luteous, with a dusky ring near the extremity;
the tibim are also black at the tips, which are slightly di-
lated; the tarsi are also annulated with dusky, the basal
joint being about as bug as the three followiug.

Of this species I hare only seen a single perfect male,
of which the wings arc comparatively smaller than those
of the supposed male of ~1sc. Daunus; they are, in fact,
more analogous to those of the female. It is rather longer
than the male of 4./avicorne, Dc Hun; but the uniform
minute maculation of the costa! area of the wings at once
distinguishes it from that species. The head, pro- and me-
sothorax arc pitchy-coloured, the remainder of the body
being reddish brown. The bead is small and rounded,

joints numerous and very indistinct. The surface of the
body is very finely viliose. The prothorax has an irn-
pressed line down the middle of the anterior half. The
metatborax has the sides nearly parallel. The abdomen
is slender and cylindrical, the terminal segments very much

Most nearly allied to 4. nflne, Dc Ilnan, but larger,
and with comparatively larger wings in the female; the
thorax and costa! veins of the wings differently coloured.
Long, slender, of equal width throughout, smooth, very
finely v~llose, destitute of spines or tubcrclcs, of a brownish
lutcous colour varied with dark brown spots and streaks.
Head slightly convex, with a fine impressed longitudinal
line in the middle of the hind part; on each side behind
the eyes is a. slender lutcous line, and several others less di-
stinct. The antennm arc of moderate length and slender.
The prothorax is about two-thirds of the length of the me-
sotborax; the surface of both is smooth, and varied with
dark longitudinal stripes on a paler ground, the central dark
line being the broadest, and interrupted in the middle by
a small bibbed pale oval spot. The tegmina arc small,
erect, and spiniforrn. The wings of the male arc of mo-
derate size, those of the female reaching to the middle of
the fourth dorsal segment of the abdomen; comparatively
narrow, of a very pale brown colour, slightly darker along
the outer margin, with rath~r darker longitudinal veins; the
costal margin brown along the anterior portion, the hinder
portion irregularly clouded with whitish and brownish-buff
markings; the median vein simple. The abdomen long
and simple, varied with dark longitudinal marks; the three
terminal joints very much swollen in the male, those of the
ventral surface large, extending beyond the ninth dorsal
segment; the apex bent upwards, obtuse at the tip, and
slightly emarginate, widely gaping, enclosing the dilated
male organ terminating in an acute point; the anal styles
thick and dcaexed, dilated, oval, pointed, setose. The
operculum very compressed, extending to the extremity of
the ninth dorsal segment, widely gaping at the extremity,
exposing four slender curved appendages dilated at the
base. Four fore legs simple, short; fore femora slightly
sinuated at the base; hind pair longer, slender, scarcely
sctose.

This species was regarded by M. Serville as identical
with the P. Peleus of Mr. G. It. Gray. Having, however,
fortunately obtained in Paris the fragments of the three
typical specimens described by Servile, I have ascertained
its distinctness not. only from that species, but also from any
of the preceding. In the very pilose legs it approaches
P. piloiipes of Dc Haan; but that author's description of
the identity in the size of the wings of both sexes, and the
maculation of the third vein of the costa! area, sufficiently
distinguish it from Dc than's species. It also approaches
ii. of ite of Dc Huan, but the shorter wings and swoUen
terminal segments of the abdomen of that species sufli-
cicntlv separate the two; the latter character also, as well
as the simple anal styles and larger size, distinguishes P.
Daunu.c from Serville's insect, although they agree in the
dissimilar size of the wings in the opposite sexes.
The Servilean specimens are in a deplorable condition;
but the abdomen of the male is perfect, and shows that the
terminal ventral segments are not in the least swollen, and
that the anal styles arc short, but very broad and deflcxcd,
with the extremity cmarginatc-truncatc. Servile describes
the legs generally as very pubcsccnt; but I can only dis-
cover this character in one pair of legs, and suppuse them
to be the posterior.

This group is evidently an artificial one, containing seve-

possessing rudimental or short wings and wing-covers.

According to information given by Mr. Nightingale to
the Entomological Society of London (July 6, 1835), this
species of P/i aamida is one of the most injurious insects
inhabiting the Bars Tona Islands of the South Pacific
Ocean, where it is sometimes so abundant, feeding upon
the cocoa*nut trees, and devouring both the old stock and
the young shoots, that orders are issued by the chiefs to
destroy them by cutting them in pieces, thereby to pre-
vent the damage which they inflict on this tree, which con-
stitutes, in fact, the chief support of the community. Simi-
lar particulars of the habits of this species arc also given
in `Williams's `MissionaTy Enterprise in the South Seas,'

This species is at once distinguished by its large size, the
disproportionate length of the mesothorax, and the very
small tegmina and wings. The head is nearly square,
rather flattened above, with the hinder margin raised into
four small elevations. The antcnnoc are long and very
slender; the basal joint flattened above; they arc uniform
brown. The inesothorax is very long and subcvlindrical,
with the middle ridge but slightly indicated; the surface is
marked with a number of minute acute granules placed
wide apart, of which also there is a row of about fifteen
along each lateral margin. The hind part is dilated at the
place of insertion of the middle legs, and on the upper side
arc affixed the two minute scale-like black tcgrnina. The
mctathorax is considerabh wider than the mcsothorax, with
the wings affixed at about one-fourth of its length from the
fore margin; they are small, being about two-thirds of the
length of the mctathorax; they are rich rosy-coloured, with
seven or eight longitudinal black veins gradually widening

clouds and spots. The abdomen is long, narrow, cylin-
drical, and unarmed; the three terminal segments are
short (equal to the fifth in length); the ninth having its
hinder lateral angles deflexed and acute, with the apex sub-
truncate, the angles oC the truncation produced into two
very small points, having the short anal styles, which are
obtuse and rounded at the tips, beneath them; the centre
is also slightly porrected and minutely furcatc. The legs
arc long, slender, and compressed; the four posterior
femorn with two small spines on the underside near the
tips; and the basal joint of the anterior tarsi is elevated on
its upper side into a large rounded leaflet. The operculum
is simple, nuvicular, and extends to the extremity of the
abdomen.
A second specimen in the National Collection is rather
smaller than the one described above, with the costal area

the fourth and fifth segments, which have a longitudinal
raised space in the middle of the hind margin terminating
in a small membranous lobe; the seventh segment is much
narrowed, forming with the two following segments an
oblong-ovate mass. The operculum is very wide, and ex-
tends slightly beyond the extremity of the abdomen. The
tegmina arc elongate-ovate, with the ordinary carina near
the base strongly marked. The wings are rather short,
extending to about the hind margin of the third abdominal
segment; the costa! area is brown at the base, forming ill-
defined dark spots towards the middle of the area, which
is pale straw-coloured, the apical portion being rich chest-
nut-red; the hinder area is steel-blue, with numerous white
spots, one of larger size than the rest near the middle of its
anterior portion. The legs arc long; the fore femora
strongly serrated along the upper edge; the tibi~ with
numerous minute spines; the middle femora with a large
foliaceous lobe, pointed at the tip, at about one-third of the
length from the base of the upper edge, with two small
acute lobes between it and the apex; the hind femora with
several small spines and a larger lobe before the middle; the
four hind tibia~ with a small lobe on the outer edge near
the base, and several small spines on each of the edges.

The accompanying figures are taken from the two typical
specimens (male and female) in the Hopcian Collection.
The head is furnished with two pairs of tubercies close to
the hind margin. The ocelli are large in both sexes. The
antennm of the male are setose, with the joints long, the
basal joint narrow (the extremity is broken oW). The pro-
notum is flat, and widened behind, with the lateral margins
slightly elevated. The mesonotum has a raised, somewhat
heart-shaped space, armed with short lateral spines, as well
as with several on the disc; there is also a curved row of
short spiucs on each side, running from the anterior lateral
angles to the base of the tegmina, and the extreme lateral
margins arc also spincil. The tegmina in both sexes arc oval,
with a very slight angulated elevation in the middle. The
wings are large; the costal area pale ashy buff, irregularly
varied with brown, the chief vein furcate; the membranous
area pink, gradually shaded off to brown, the longitudinal
veins strong and dark brown. The abdominal segments arc
furnished on each side with thin niernbranous lobes, acute
at the hind angle, very much smaller in the male than in
the female; the former has the terminal dorsal segment of
the abdomen elevated in the centre, whence it is furcate to
the extremity; the anal styles are long and obtuse; the
operculum of the female is simple, and extends to the cx-
tremitv of the abdomen. The legs are rather short in both
sexes, with the femora serrated externally in the female.

The 5imple structure of the abdominal segments of the
unique male of this species, preserved in the I-Iopcian
Museum, separates it from the genuine species of Pri~opua,
with which it agrees in the membranous and serrated ap-
pendage of the legs. I do not doubt, when the female
comes to be known, that it will be necessary to form a
separate genus for its reception, it being here placed pro-
~isiona1ly in that of .Veroderua.

the wide separation of the two groups.

I have followed Dc Haan in adding several species to
this genus, which, however, seem to differ in various im-
portant particulars from the original type (of which I have
iiot been able to find any specimen in the Paris Collections,
but which seems very closely allied to P/iasma ~pino.~um of
Fabricius = Ph. cornicep~, G. it. Gray, of which the type
is contained in the British Museum). It is indeed possible
that the Eastern species of this group will require forming
into a distinct genus when a better knowledge is obtained
of Servilic's type.

This species is very closely allied to P/c. Diacis, Dc
Haan, but differs in the uniform size of the spines of the
bead, the shorter mesotbomaN, and the differently con-
structed terminal joints of the abdomen. The head is sub-
quadrate, rounded at its hinder part, granulose, the gra-
nules arranged in lines; eyes very prominent; a row of
four, small, equal-sized spines across the bind part of the
head, and a small round black spot on each side behind
the eyes. The antcnnzc are rather short, dark brown, with
numerous small luteous rings. The prothorax is finely
granulose, as is also the mcsothomax, which is gradually
widened behind, and armed with a few very small spines in
its anterior half. The tcgmina arc oval, obscure, blackish
brown, with the inner margins paler; the carina is coni-
cally elevated rather before the middle of its length, and
is dilated in its hinder portion into a large semicircular
lamina. The wings are stained blackish brown, with the
costa! area darker, the veins varied with black or blackish
dots, the median vein simple. The abdomen has the fifth
and sixth segments wider than the preceding, and mar-
ginatcd; the seventh and eighth arc subquadrate, the eighth
I with a lobe in the middle of its hind margin; the ninth seg-
ment small and conical, with the two small anal styles se-
I tose; the terminal ventral segments form a large operculum
extending beyond the tip of the abdomen, with its truncated
extremity subdenticulated. The fore femora are dilated,
and suberose along the under margin. The tibije short,
and dilated at the base and apex. The four hind legs
short, with the femora denticulated beneath.

Having carefully examined and drawn the original typi-
cal individual of this species, described by Mr. G. R. Gray,
and having also before me Scrvillc's types of his two
species, C. ver:tfa.,ciata and C. ver,irubra, in the Ilopeian
Collection, I am able to refer the two latter to C. Gohatli.
The type of C. rers~faaciata is a smaller female, and
has lost all its distinctive colours, probably from having
been originally preserved in spirits of wine. I have alsu
recently obtained a remarkably beautiful specimen of the
female from Morctou Bay, of which the following are the
dimensions :-Long. corp. curu operc. uuc. 8%; cap. Un. 5;

In this specimen the mesothorax is nearly smooth; the
colour of the membranous portion of the wings is hyaline
tinged with green; the prothorax has a broad brown fascia
on each side; the abdomen is dark fulvous brown, with
the extremity and the operculuin dark green.
The AcropAylla Tgp/ueua of Gray, which Dc Esan
gives as the mate of Cyphocrania Goliatli, is the male of
Tropidoderus Cltildrenii.

Dc Haan has suggested (Oil/i. Orient. p. 129) that this
species is only a variety of C. inaculata. The two species
are, however, quite distinct; and as P. Ence/adus appears

Lichtcnsecin's figure of this species is evidently more
faithful in some respects than his description: thus, the
tegmina, which he says arc "brevissimis," arc in f~ct oh-
long-ovate, and as long as the metathorax; and the fore legs
are not so broad as to merit the term "latissimis." It is
described as a male, and as a native of China I can scarcely
doubt, however, but that it is an African insect, of the
female sex, and that it is, in fact, the female of Palophzca
Hawortlili, ante, p. 90. The armature of the legs, the
qundrinodose mesothorax, the bibbed fourth and fifth seg-
ments of the abdomen, and the emargination of the terminal
segment. observable in Lichtcnstcin's figure, are all found
in the Berlin and Leyden specimens of the female, which
is Burmeister's Haplojnis ceratop/~yltus. It is indeed not
improbable that the Lcyden specimen may be the original
Holthuysian type described by Lichtenstciu.

This fine species is nearly the size of Pit. reticulata of
Patisot de Beauvois; but the wings and wing-covers are
scarcely more than half the size of those of that species.
The entire insect is of an obscure lutcous ashy or pale buff-
brown colour, the surface baring a great number of mi-
nute black granules. The head is oval, with two larger com-
pound tubercies between the eyes, and with small tubercles
on the back part of the head arranged on each side in
three longitudinal rows. The nntenua2 are shorter than
the mesothornx, with the basal joints of moderate size.
The prothorax is rugose, and of equal length with the head.
The mesothorax is armed with three or four small spines
on each side of the median line, placed irregularly. The
mctathorztx has the posterior portion greatly elongated.
The abdomen is very ton;, and nearly equally broad, and
simple, except the fourth segment, which has a double lobe
on its hinder margin on the upper side; the eighth segment
is ~ short, the ninth truncated at it.s extremity; the
sercnth ventral segment is but little swollen, and extends
to one-third of the length of the ninth dorsal segment; its
extremity is emnarginate; the two anal styles are short aud
thick. The tegmina are oval, equal to the head and pro-
thorax in length, with a slightly elevated space between the
base and the middle. The wings arc twice the length of
the tegmina, extending, when closed, to the extremity of the
first segment of the abdomen; the costal area is uniform
reddish brown, with the median vein furcate; the hind
area is steel-blue and glossy, with the base slightly tessel-
lated with somewhat paler spots. The fore legs are long
and nearly simple. The four hind legs have the femora
furnished near the base and apex beneath with a small lobe,
also on the upper side near the base and in the middle;
the tibia~ hare two lobes before and beyond the middle on
the outer edge, and a small one on the inner edge towards
the base; the tarsi arc simple. The legs arc slightly
banded with dark brown. A specimen in the British
Museum has the fore and middle legs on the right-hand
side imperfectly developed.

A single specimen of the female of this fine species is
coutained in the Natiouni Collection. It is long, narrow,
and subconvcx, the abdomen being the widest part of the
body. The head is ova!, granulose, with two pairs of
rounded tubercies on the crown. The antenn~ arc broken
at the tips, twenty-six joints only remaining. The meso-
thorax is long, granulose, and armed with two diverging
black spines near the middk of the disc. The basal seg-
ments of the abdomen are narrowly margined at the sides;
the fourth has a transverse membrane near the tip; the
three terminal segments are narrowed, rugose, the terminal
one entire; the anal styles very short. The operculum
slightly boat-shaped, not extending to the tip of the abdo-
men. The te;rnina arc oblong-ovate, with a strong carina
running from the base, forming an elevated lobe before the
middic. The costal area of the wings is pale greenish
brown; the base paler, with a large irregular black spot;
the posterior area brown, with irregular fascivc of pale spots,
and also with small round pale spots upon the longitudinal
veins. The legs are strong; the femora dentatcd; the
fore tibize with an elongated membrane on the upper edge,
reaching from the middle to the extremity, with two in ci-
sions; the four bind tibitt have a single spine on the outer
edge near the base, and with several on the inner edge; the
uir~i arc compressed.

The male of this handsome species is unique in the
splendid cabinet of M. Westermann of Copenhagen. It is
long and slender, and of a brown colour varied with luteous.
The head is oblong; eyes prominent; ocelli obsolete, the
hind part raised into a transverse row of very small eleva-
tions; on each side behind the eyes is a longitudinal luteous
stripe. The antcnn~ are long and slender; beyond the
middle they are slightly marked with pale rings placed
wide apart. The prothorax is armed with two pairs of
spines, one at the fore margin, the other in the middle.
The mcsothorax is also armed on its upper surface with a
series of still larger acute spines, arranged not quite regu-
larly in pairs. The tegmina are small, subovate, with the
median carina suddenly, but only moderately, elevated into
a small conical tubcrcle; they arc grcyish luteous, with
brown veins. The wings are large; they arc of a pinkish-
white colour, varied with a number of irregular broad
greyish-brown fascia~, the veins in the dark parts being
much darker; the costal area is buffish brown, slightly
varied with brown and lutcous, with the veins blackish, the
median one being simple. The legs arc long, slender, and
unarmed, fulvous-coloured varied with brown. The abdo-
men is long and slender; the sixth segment constricted in
the midd]e, carinated along the centre; the seventh seg-
ment shorter and subconical, the eighth considerably con-
stricted in the middle, and the ninth subqundrate, slightly
emarginate at its apex, the anal styles not being visible
from above; the terminal ventral segments arc considerably
swollen, the ninth extending only to the extremity of the
eighth dorsal segment, acute, with the tip also emarginate.
The nwso- and metasterna are spinulose.

This species has the body almost smooth, and brownish.
The head and prothorax of equal length. The mesothorax
rather dilated between the anterior margin and the middle,
and rather constricted behind the middle. Tue met.atho-
mx is dilated beneath, its hinder division considerably
longer than the anterior. The abdomen is elongate, sub-
convex, narrowed from the base to the fourth segment, the
fifth widest at its extremity; the three terminal segments
short, the terminal one with the lateral posterior angles
slightly produced. The tegmina arc oval, and rather
longer than the mctatborax, and about half the length of
the wings; the latter have the costal area pale dirty yellow

patch near the base; the hinder portion is ornamented
with macular fasciw of brown, darkest towards the base.
The fore legs are long and simple, as are also the middle
~Jatr; the hind pair arc thickened, the femora strongly
spined, and the inner edge of the tibii~ with about six short
strong incurced spines; the sides of the inetasternum and
the posterior co~ are also spined.

I have followed Servile in giving Phaaina edide, Licht.,
as the type of a genus distinct from the preceding, and
have added to it two other species, which agree with it
tolerably well in general form, although, from several of
their details, they will require a separate section for their
reception.

Jamaica species, figured by Drury, being however omitted).
According to Valentinus, quoted by Houttuyn, this species
is eaten by the Malays for food.

mesonotuTu is, however, narrowed behind to the base of the
tegmina, which, when closed, do not extend over more than
two-thirds of the metanotum; they are shortly ovate and
strongly reticulated, and rather more than half' the length
of the wings, which, when closed, extend to the middle of
the second abdominal segment. The abdomen is long,
simple, and subconvcx; the segments gradually narrowed
to the extremity and margined at the sides, tho anterior
ones with two lines of small impressions on each side; the
terminal segment is rounded, exposing the two small styles
as well as the extremity of the operculum, which is eon-
stricted close to the base. The legs are short, strong, and
angulnt.cd; the middle ridge of all the femora beneath
armed with a few slight and scarcely distinct spines.
The specimens from the Philippine Islands have the mc~

This species is closely allied to P1. i1.~piieu~, but is at
once di~tinuishcd hr the relative size of the wing-covers
and wings, more slender abdomen, smooth mcsothorax, and
denticulated femora. The head is obovate and convex, very
smooth; it is produced into a promuient angle in front of
each ccc, behind each of which is also a slightly curved
1on~itudinn1 impressed line. The antennit are rather iongcr
than the pro- and mesothorax; the first joint moderately
robust, the third and immediately following joints very
short, but gradually elongated. The prothorax is marked
on each side of its hinder portion with a slightly impressed
oval line, each preceded by strong punctures. The mcso-
thorax is smooth and oblong, with a slender raised line
running along each side to the base of the wing-covers,
this line being punctured on its inner edge; near the hind
margin it has two deep impressions, between which is a
minute scutellum-like plate. The abdominal segments arc
smooth and nearly square, each slightly constricted at its
base and apex; the eighth and ninth joints attenuated, the
latter angulated along the middle of its upper surface. The
operculum is constricted near the base; it is boat-shaped,
and extends very slightly beyond the extremity of the
ninth dorsal segment. The anal styles are short, broad,
and obtuse. The tcgtnina arc os-al, pale green, very strongly
and thickly reticulated, the membrane along the anterior
and posterior edges towards the base being brown; the
strong discoidal vein is slightly elevated. The wings have
the costal area pale lutcous at base, greenish at the apex;
the veins more strongly coloured than the membrane; the
chief vein is furcate both towards the base and about the
middle of the wing; the hind portion is pale lutco-fulvous,
with the longitudinal veins fulvous, the transverse ones
nearly colourless. The legs arc short and strong; the
femora finely spined beneath.
The unique specimen in the British Museum has the
left fore-leg not fully developed.

I am not satisfied as to the amount of variation to which
this species is subject, but believe it to be greater than
would at first sight be credited. In the llopeian Collec-
tion arc preserved a male and fcmalc, ieceivcd from Mr.
MacLerty as distinct, under the name of .Diura Saturn us;
the female agreeing with Gray's figure in the size of the
wings aud tegmina, but with the legs and anal styles mon
elongated, the latter being 13 lines long, the entire insect
being S inches long. Other female specimens, of much
smaller size, varying from S to 6 inches long, have the
wings scarcely so long as the tegmina. In these also there
is considerable difference iu the length of the anal styles.
Another specimen, abont S~ inches long (including the
anal styles, 13 lines long), has the wings as large as in
Gray's figure, but much more strongly tessellated than the
ordinary individuals, the general colour of the specimen
being reddish brown.

This species is remarkable for having the wings strongly
tessellated in both sexes, those of the female being scarcdv
more than half the size of those of the male, and for thi'
minute size of the anal styles of the male. The body is
long and slcndcr. The general colour is dark reddish
brown. The head of the male is wide, with large eyes, and
the three occili are distinct in both sexes; the antenrac in
the male are moderately long, slender, and finely setose,
about 2-I.jointcd; those of the femalc arc much shorter,
but composed of the same number of joints. The meso-
thorax is armed along its upper surface with about six
pairs of small pointed tubcrclcs, placed rather irrcgularh;
and the lateral margins are also armed with a few smaller
ones. The tcgmina arc oblong-ovate, with the middle of
the central canina scarcely elevated. The wings arc white,

rior pair nearly simple, but the four hinder with the lower
angles (especially of the fernora) finely serrated. The ab-
domen of the male is long and slender; the terminal ven-

I have only seen the male of this species, which is very
long, slender, and cylindrical, entirely of a lutcous pak
brown colour (the specimen had, howc~er, been preserved in
spirits of wine). The head is rather large and subdcprcssed;
the eyes very large, as well as the three ocelli. The antcnnte
are short nnd thick, 23-jointed, the joints narrowed at the
base, and setose. The me~othorax is long, armed `with four
pairs of short thick spines. The tegmina are elongate-
ovate; the median carina moderately elevated. The wings
are large, stained along the outer margin with darker brown;
the costal area darker, especially along the basal half,
with the median vcin furcate near the base. The abdo-
men is very long and slender; the last joint truncate, with
the truncation curved ; the anal styles as long as the three
terminal joints, thittened, and slightly pointed at the tip.
The legs are of moderate length and serrated, the anterior
tibia~ being simple; the four hind tibi~ with a bispinose
folinceous lobe near the base on the upper edge.

I at first thought it possible that the insect here figured
might be the male of C'yp/~ocrania Goliat1~, but the arrange-
ment of the spines of the hind legs and mesosternum will
scarcely allow of such an idea.

This is one of the most elegant species in the family. It
is very slender, especially in the mesothoracic portion of
the body. The head is oblong and polished; the eyes large,
as well as the three ocdlli. The antenna~ are Ion; and
straight, about 24-jointed, the joints being remarkably
long. The anterior half of the body is of a rich fulvous
colour; the legs rather paler, with a slight greenish tinge.
The prothora.x is rather irregular on its upper surface, and
the mesothorax is marked by an impressed line down the
whole of its length. The tegmina are small, oblong, with
the middle of the carina but slightly elevated; they arc
fulvous yellow, with the inner margin marked with three
rows of small black spots occupying the areas between the
transverse yellow veins. The wings are large, of a beau-
tiful rosy hue, with darker rosy longitudinal veins; the
costal area rich yellow, with fulvous longitudinal veins;
the fore margin tinged with green, and the hinder margin
with a brown dash, intersected by the pale longitudinal
veins; the principal vein is not furcate, but it unites before
reaching the apex of the wing with the next vein, and this
united portion again unites close to the tip with the fol-
lowing vein. The legs are very slender and simple; the
basal joint of the tarsus about as long as the following joints
united. The abdomen is long, cylindrical, brown, and
poli~hcd; the three terminal joints arc short, and termi-
nated by two slender, straight, porrccted styles; the ovi-
positor is straight, scarcely swollen, and reaches to the
cxtremity of the ninth dorsal segment.

This species is long and slender, of an obscure blackish-
brown colour, opt~ke. The head is nearly square, but
slightly convex, with the three ocelli on the crown, the an-
terior one considerably in advance of the others; on each
side behind the eyes is an obscure pale streak. The antennzc
are long and slender; the joints arc very long, and each
alternate joint has its base marked with a broad whitish
ring; beyond the middle ench joint is composed of a great
number of minute articulations. The prothorax is oval,
the anterior angles being truncated and spiraculifcrous.
The mcsonotum is scarcely longer than the prothorax, ~nelv
rugose, and with two oblique rows of small tubercies on
each side extending to the insertion of the tegmina: the
latter are small and nearly square, the centre strongly ele-
vated into an obtuse angle, the ridge of which is marked
with a dull whitish line. The wings arc large, opake
whitish, with a slight fulvous tinge, which is the colour of
the longitudinal veins; the veins and veinlets along the
outer margin of the wings arc brown; the costal arcit is
blackish, with the principal vein furcate near the base.
The abdomen is long, narrow, of nearly equal width through-
out; the terminal ventral segments considerably swollen and
angulated, not extending beyond the eighth dorsal segment;
the anal styles dcflexed and orate. The legs are Jim; and
slender, destitute of spines; the basal joint of the tarsi is
as long as the three following joints.

This species is well distinguished by its short and hi-
spinose mesothorax, and by the peculiar markings of the
costa] area of the wings. The general colour is dark brown
variegated with olivaceous green. The head is very convex
behind, and raised into a large conical tubercie; the three
ocelli are very large. The antenna~ are pale luteous, very
long and slender, but only 24-jointed; the apical joints are,
however, finely and minutely annulated; each joint has the
apical half brown. The mesothorax is very little ionger
than the prothorax, armed before its middle with two erect
obtuse points, preceded by two more minute ones; its lateral
margins are also armed with two or three small spines.
The tcg:niua arc larger than the inesothorax ; the central
carina is very strongly elevated and rounded, the apex Is
obliquely truncated, and the disk strongly reticulated with
the fine pale vcinlets. The wings are large; the costal area
pale olivaceous green, with numerous irre;ular.sized broad
brown waved spots; the chief vein is furcate near the base;
the hinder area smoky coloured, with darker loiigitudinal
veins. The abdomen is dark brown; the terminal segments
short, and conical at the tip ; the oviduct small, but reach-
to the extremity of the abdomen; the two anal stylc~
short, obtuse, setose, and convergent at the tip. The legs
are long, slender, and simple, alternately marked with
browii and olivaceous s1iots; the tarsi arc long, the basal
joint being about as long as the three following joints.

Of this elegant species I have only seen a single speci-
men, which I regard as a female with some doubt. The
anterior part of the body is grass-green, with purplish-
brown markings, the mesothorax and abdomen being in-
teous brown. The head is oblong and green, with a cir-
cular yellow patch between the eyes surrounded by a black
ring, and having a slender dark line down its middle; the
hind part of the head is marked with seven longitudinal
pale yellow lines. The antcnnm arc reddish brown, the tips
of the joints darker, basal joint yellow. The pro- and mc-
sothorax are green, with several dark purplish-brown longi-
tudinal lines with slender yellow ones between them, the
sides of the latter grass-green. The tegmina arc elongate-
o~ntc; the carina scarcely elevatcd in the middle; the inner
margin, and a patch extending from it to the middle of the
canina, of a purplish-brown colour. The wings nrc large and
~~bite, the longitudinal veins slightly fulvous; the costal
area has its anterior half grass-green, the posterior half
yellowish, with irregular purplish-brown patches; the me-
turn vein is fureate. The legs arc short and simple ; they
are greenish-litteous coloured, with the tips of the femora
and tibi~ dusky. The abdomen is long, and of a lutcous-
brown colour; the three terminal joints are rather short,
and gradually attenuated, with the anal styles porrected
and obtuse: the opcrculurn is not at all prominent, and
scarcely extends beyond the extremity of the seventh dorsal
~e~meut; it is pointed at the tip, and is followed by two
flattened plates united by a straight line down the middle,
and these again by an entire, oval, slender membrane.

This species is remarkable for the great comparative
length of the abdomen, the spinose tegmina, and the short-
ness of the hind legs. The head is subquadrnte, its ante-
rior part pale yellow; eyes prominent; ocelli three, luteous.
The head, prothorax, mesothorax, tegmina, legs, and costal
area of the wings are greenish ashy, not glossy; the an-
terior parts of the body rugose, with minute pale granula-
tions. The antennrc are nearly as long as the body, with
pale annuli; the mesothorax is short, as well as the ineta-
thorax, being of nearly equal length. Tegmina small, sub.
ovate, rugose; the carina moderate, armed near the base
with a small erect spine. Wings with the costal area ashy
green, the principal rein furcitte, hinder portion of wings
slightly tinged with brown. .~4bdomcn long, slender, dark
brown, slightly glossy, rather clavate at the tip; apical
dorsal segment with a small notch in the middle of the bind
margin; anal styles short and rather thick; terminal ven-
tral segments scarcely swollen, extending rather beyond the
base of the ninth dorsal segment.

amlzgua, although it differs slightly in several respects
from Servile's detailed description of the species. The
female, as will be seen from the measurements given above,
is considerably larger; the spine on the tegmina of the
male is not so large, and is more deflexed than in the
female; the antenum of the male arc very )ong and slender,
consisting of about forty joints, the joints long and slender,
slightly hairy, and scarcely distinguishable from each other;
near the extremity of the antcnum in the female there is a
white annulus about a line long; the costal area of the
wings in the female is greenish brown, with a few slightly-
marked pale spots near the apex, none of which arc dis-
cernible in the male; the posterior area is of a dirty buffish
white, with buff veins. The legs arc dirty brownish green,
with the femora and tibüc darker at the tips; the ante-
rior and middle tibite arc also slightly marked with paler
annuli.

dark central patch, the middle of the central carina being
but little elevated; the principal vein of' the costal area in
the wings of both sexes is furcate near the base; the trans.
verse veins in this part are rather wide apart, and black.
The wings of the male are of full size, but those of the fe-
male are scarcely longer than the mesothorax. The abdo-
men of the male is cylindrical, with the seventh and eighth
segments rather swollen; the terminal ventral segment does
not extend beyond the eighth dorsal, and is not swollen
and more membranous than usual; the last dorsal segment
is small, and arched at its extremity, with the anal styles
short, cylindrical, obtuse, and setose; the abdomen of the
female is longer and more robust, the sixth ventral segment

and the oviduct is membranous, and does not extend be-
yond the middle of the eighth dorsal segment.

This obscurely-coloured, very slender species is well
distinguished by the very short legs, annular antentue, and
granulated anterior part of' the body. The head is small,
oblong, convex; eyes very globose and prominent; between
them in the male is a circular dcpre3sion, within which the
ocelli arc placed; the two posterior ones on raised pale.
coloured tubercics, giving the appearance of a pair of greatly
enlarged ocelli. In the female the ocelli are small and less
conspicuous. The antennm arc slender, about ~O-jointcd,
brown, with the majority of the joints pale at the base; the
terminal joints are very indistinct, and close to the tip is a
rather broad white ring. The pro- and mesothorax arc finely
but rather distantly granuloac. The tegmina arc amid], oval,
with the veins strongly marked, and with a moderately dc.
vated tubercic a little before the middle of the chief vein.
The wings are rather long and narrow, equally developed
in both sexes, stained pale brown, with the veins rather
darker; the costal area pale Iuteo.greyisb, varied with
darker purplish-brown clouds; the principal veins marked
alternately with short black streaks; median vein furcate
at about one-fourth from the base of the wing. Legs,
especially the four hind ones1 very short, slender, and
simple. Abdomen very long and slender, the terminal seg-
ments in the male not dilated above, and scarcely so beneath,
widely gaping at the tip; anal styles small, and buff. The
terminal ventral segments, in the only female I have seen,
may possibly have been injured,-tbe plate analogous to the
o~iduct being flattened, and only extending to the extremity
of the seventh dorsal segment, and notched at its tip, fol-
lowed by two pairs of lateral compressed plates, narrow,
and pointed at the tip, and another bifid flattened plate
with the two anal styles.

This is one of the most curious species in the family,
and is distinguished not only by the brilliancy of its colours,
but also by its remarkably short mesothornx, scarcely more
than a quarter of the length of the metathora; its straight
anterior femora, large subglobosc head, large wings, &c.
The head is large and fulcous red, with three occili in a
triangle between the eyes. Tbe antenna~ are long and
slender, with several broad whitish annuli. The prothorax
brown, with two pairs of black patches on the back; the
anterior lateral angles arc circularly incised. The meso-
thorax is `very short, gradually raised and widened behind.
The tegmina arc pale reddish brown, with minute dots of
black in the reticulated spaces. The wings arc large and
bright orange-colour&J, with a broad black border, the tip
being pale luteous; the costal area is reddish brown, with
a multitude of minute black dots within the reticulated
spaces; the chief `vein is furcate near the base. The meta-
thorax is wide; the abdomen gradually narrowed to the tip,
dark brown-coloured; the three terminal segments short,
entire; anal styles short, cxscrtcd; operculum moderately
swollen, extending to the extremity of the abdomen. Legs
moderately long, slender, and simple; femorn blackish;
tiblie and tarsi annulated with luteous and blackish. Tarsi
with the basal joint rather longer than the three following
joints united. Body beneath of a nearly uniform rich
brown colour.

The only specimen I have seen of this species has the
abdomen broken off beyond the third segment, so that it
is only from its slender form that I conjecture that it is a
male. It is slender and cylindrical, dusky brown, and desti-
tute of gloss. The bend is rather larger than the prothorax;
eyes prominent; the middle of the head rather rugose, and
with two rows of granules extending towards the hind mar-
gin. The antennzc arc very long and slender, brown, with
paler annulations. The mesothorax is long, slender, and
finely granutose. The tegxnina are ovate, considerabh
shorter than the znetathorax, with the apical margin o1>.
liquely truncate; they are brown, with darker veins, and
with a strongly elevated tubercle towards the base. The
wings arc of moderate size, slightly stained with brown,
with dark brown longitudinal `veins; the costal area pale
brown, with numerous darker small patches and spots,
especially towards the disc of the wing; the chief vein is
furcate. The abdomen is long and slender. The legs are
of moderate length, slender, simple, dusky, and slightly
varied with paler dots.

This species approaches P1g. brevipenne, Burzn.; but
that species is described as possessing ocdlli, and as having
the wings three times as long as the tegmina, the latter
being mucronated in the middle; in all which respects it
differs from the one now under notice. The body is long,
rather slender and subcylindrical, of an obscure blackish
colour with a greenish tinge; the head and thorax covered
with small granules; the abdomen rugose. The head is
rather wider than the prothorax; the eyes moderately pro-
minent, without ocelli; the crown of the bead with two
small spines on each side. The antenum reach to the middle
of the metathorax; they are 20-jointed, the joint$ being
long. The tegmina are elongate-ovate, rather narrow be-
hind; they are of a dark greenish colour, with darker
veins; the carina is strongly elevated near the base into a
rounded lobe. The wings are about twice the length of the
tegmina, with the costal area ashy green, the base pale
obscure rosy; the posterior area smoky, with pale strigxc
between the transverse vcinlcts. The abdomen is long,
with the sixth and seventh segments dilated, and the eighth
and ninth narrowed, the last being longitudinally carinated
above, the carina terminating in a rather deep incision;
anal styles short, obtuse, and slightly protruded; the
seventh ventral segment is strongly angulntcd. The legs
arc rather short; the anterior fcuiora rather dilated and
rugose; the basal joint of the tarsi not longer than the
three following joints.

This is a very curious species, distinguished by its ro-
bust body, very short mesothorax, and very long simple
legs and antennm. The head is rounded, convex, entire,
with three very minute ocelli; the eyes very prominent.
Antcnnm long, slender, and uiultinrticulate, every fifth or
sixth joint being separated more distinctly from the follow-
ing than the others, making, at first sight, the antcnnm
appear as if composed of long joints each reducible into
several subarticulations. The prothorax is subconical; the
anterior lateral angles senucircularly truncate; the hind
margin with a broad black transverse fascia. The meso-
thorax is short, broad, subconical, and simple. The teg-
mina are small, suborate, ernarginate on the hinder margin,
the reticu]ations pale-coloured; the central carina but little
elevated. The wings arc very wide; the costal area dark
brown, with very numerous transverse parallel luteous
veinlets; the main vein furcate near the base, the two dis,.
sions uniting together again near the tip; the hinder area
is smoky.coloured, with brunneous longitudinal veins. The
abdomen is robust, swollen in the middle, and convex; the
three terminal segments narrow, the eighth moderately
elevated; the operculum boat-shaped, deepest near the
base; the anal styles short and porrected. All the legs
are long and simple; the tarsi long; the hind ones two-
thirds of the length of the hind tibiae.

in both sexes. Bead generally unarmed, with or without
ocelli. Antennic generally very long, and often annulated.
Thorax elongated, cylindrical. Mesothorax generally about
thrice the length of the prothorax or shorter (in the species
destitute of ocdlli). Tegmina small, generally subqua-
drate, and from one-fifth to one-eighth of the length of the
wings. Wings large; costal area with the main vein sim-
pie in both sexes, or bifurcate in the female only of some
of the species. Legs long and slender, neither spined nor
dilated; basal joint of the tarsi very elongate. Abdomen
elongate, cylindric, subclavate in the males; anal styles
very short.
Inhabit India and the Islands of the Eastern Ocean.
Restricted as this group is, according to the views of
Servile and Dc Haan, to the Oriental species allied to
Pluzsn,a. the species are very numerous. In the following
arrangement I have not attempted to tabulate the species,
although I have followed the distribution proposed by Dc
Hann, commencing with the species with spines on the
head, after which arc placed some species with spines on the
thorax, followed by the unarmed species having an elon-
gated mesothorax. Dc ihnn has distributed the latter
according to the colours of the wings and legs, which has
led to artiñcial results. The genus is terminated by those
species which have the mesothorax comparatively short.

it is destitute, like the male, of ocelli, and the wings arc
more tessellated; the truncation of the tegmina, together
with their white apical margin, is very peculiar.

This is a very slender and delicate species, well distin-
guisl&ed by its conically elevated head and short truncated
tegmina. with the hind margin pale green. The head is
much larger than the prothorax; the three ocelli distinct.
The antenn~ in the male arc longer than the entire body,
blackish, with a white ring near the tip. The antennm and
legs of the female are shorter than those of the male. The
pro- and mcsothorax arc slender, but widened behind; the
disc covered with minute white granules. The tegmina
arc very short., with a strongly elevated conical tubercic in
the middle, the hind margin narrowly edged with pale
green. The wings arc dusky; the costal area in the male
reddish and unspotted, in the female reddish brown with
numerous darker clouds; in the former the principal vein
is simple and pale-coloured, but it is furcate in the latter.
The abdomen iz very long and slender in the male; the
eighth joint longer than the preceding or following, the
latter belis; very short; the three terminal vcntrnl se;-
nicuts arc con~idcrably dilated, the ninth extending to the
extremity of the eighth dorsal segment. In the female the
abdomen is more robust, with the opcrculum extending to
about the extremity of the eighth dorsal Segment. The
legs of the male arc very slender and reddish, the t.arsi
whitish, with the base of the first joint dusky; the legs of
the female are shorter and more obscure, but with pale
tarsi, the basal joint being about half the whole length of
the tarsi.

This species is well distinguished by its very long slender
form, spined head and thorax, and posteriorly maculated
tegmina and wings. The head and thorax arc dull pale
greenish and finely granulated, the remainder of the body
brownish and smooth; the head is armed on the crown with
about ten erect spines. The auteiui~ arc about two-thirds
of the entire length of the body; they arc obscurely co-
loured, with a slight pale annulus near the tip. The pro-
thorax is small, with a few small erect spines across the
hinder margin, The mesothorax. is armed in front with
two pairs of strong spines (those on the left side being con-
anent, except at the tips, in the only specimen which I have
seen); the disc of the remainder of t1~ mesothorax is
armed with a few much smaller spines. The tegmina are
small and subquadrate, with a strongly raised obtuse tu-
bercie in the middle; the hinder margin with two pale
spots on the edge. The wings are brown; the costal area
darker, with several small pale spots on the fore margin,
and two or three larger dud more distinct near the tips.
The abdomen is very long and slender, the fifth segment
with its hinder edge elevated in the middle; the three ter-
minal segments rather swoUcn, the last emarginate at the
tip; the two terminal ventral segments are swollen, the
last not extending beyond the extremity of the eighth
i dorsal segment. The fore legs arc wanting in the sped-
men drawn; the four posterior are rather short and simple,
obscurely coloured, with the tips of the femora and tibi~c
darker; the basal joint of the tarsi is not more than half
the whole length of the latter.

This obscurely-coloured species is easily distinguished by
its conical bead, short legs, and rather thickened hind
thighs. The general colour is obscure brown, slightly
varied with buff and luteous. The head is conically ele-
vated in the hind part of the disc, the surface being armed
with acute granulations; the face is marked with a small
triangular black spot. The antennm are long and slender,
multiarticulate, finely setose, the joints very short. The
pro- and inesothorax arc slender and finely granuiose. The
tegmina are small and ovate; the median carina rather
strongly angulated between the middle and base; the chief
veins are varied with buff and black spots; they are not
straight, but slightly undulated throughout their whole
length. The wings arc moderately large, stained blackish
brown, with the longitudinal veins somewhat darker-co.
loured; the costal area is darker brown, the chief vein not
furcate, blackish, with numerous small luteous dots. The
abdoincn is long, slender, and simple; the terminal segments,
especially the eighth, strongly elevated and angulated at
the summit, the ninth joint obliquely deflexed; the three
terminal vcntrnl segments are not swollen beneath, the
ninth extending beyond the extremity of the ninth dorsal
segment. The legs are slender and short, resulting chieñy
from the shortness of the tibia~, which arc not so ]ong as
the femorn; the hind fcmora are rather thickened and den-
ticulated along their whole length; the basal joint of the
tarsi in all the legs is about the length of the three follow-
ing joints united.

of the abdomen and the comparative shortness of the mc-
sothorax, with its recurved spines. The bead is rather
flat and simple; the three oceUi are very minute, but
distinct. The antenna arc very long (at least 4 inches)
and slender. The protborax is the same size as the bead.
The mcsothorax is about 2.} times the length of the pro-
thorax; it is rather narrower than the prothorax in front;
its disc is rather fiat, each side having about eight thin
acute recurved spines. The metathorax is oblong, wider
than any other part of the body, its hinder portion rather
longer than the anterior. The abdomen is long, narrow,
and simple (twice the length of the entire thorax); the
three terminal segments are widened (they have, however,
been crushed); the seventh and following ventral plates
extend only to about the middle of the eighth dorsal
segment. The anal styles nrc short and obtuse. The teg-
mba are short, broad, and subtruucate at the extremity.
The wings are large; the anterior area pale dull green, the
median vein furcate; the posterior area is pale brown, with
a large, somewhat triangular pale buff spot near the Apex.
The legs are long, slender, and simple; the femora finely
serrated; the tarsi with the basal joint as long as all the
remainder together. The body beneath is pale and simple,
except the mesostcrnum, which has two rows of deflexed
spines.
The pupa is smaller (3~ inches Ion;), with the meso-
thorax similarly spined; the rudimental tegmina are very
minute (about one line long), oval, and the rudimental
wings ore subovate, ~ lines Ion;, touching each other along
the inner margin in the middle of the back.

median line. The tegmina arc small, oblong-quadrate; the
median carina slightly indicated, with the ordinary conical
elevation almost obsolete. The wings are long and rather
narrow, subhynlinc, with the 1ongitw~inn~ veins luteou.s

simple and paler coloured. The abdomen is long, subcylin-
dric, with slightly raised longitudinal lines along the lateral
margins; the apex gradually attenuated and simple, the
tip trilobed, the middle lobe rather elongated and rounded;
the anal styles short, porrected, and conical. The ovi-
duct scarcely swollen, extending to about the middle of the
ninth dorsal segment. Fore legs (wanting in the only spe-
cimen I have yet seen); four hind legs simple, moderately

that its colour, now a uniform dull luteous buff, was pro-
bably green when alive. It is elongated, with a very slender
mesothorax. The head is oval, rather flattened above, with
a small impression on each side behind the eyes. The
antenn~ arc slender (broken ofF about half an inch from
the base). The prothorax small. The mesotbornic slender,
cylindrical, granulated. The tegmiun small, oval, with a
moderately strongly nugulated carina. The wings of mo-

The female of this species (the male not having yet been
received) is distinguished by its elongated incsothora~ and
abdomen and its short legs, the anterior femorn being di-
lated along the lateral margins. It is slender, destitute of
spines, the mesonotum alone being finely tuberculated.
The head is rather wider than the prothorax, subconvcx,
pale at the sides, with a slender curved dark line extending
backwards from the eves. The antcnntc arc of moderate
length, verv slender, obscure brown, with numerous pale
rings; basal joints pale. The xnesothorax is about three
times the length of the prothorn.x. The tcgmina arc short,
subovate, glaucous, reticulated with the dark veins. The
wings are subhyaline, being only very slightly stained with
brown; the costa] area is darker, redder brown, with small
darker clouds, and with dark spots along the mid.vein,
which is furcate. The legs arc sbo~t, setose, simple, dirty
bufF, with darker rings and marks; the anterior femorn
dilated along the edges. The abdomen is very long and
slender; the eighth and ninth segments short. The opcr-
culum is rather small, reaching to the middle of the ninth
dorsal segment; the anal styles short and very broad.

This species, of which I have only seen a single speci-
men of the male, approaches N. jEtalus, of which it might
at first be supposed to be the opposite sex,; the armature of
the bend and legs seems, however, sufficiently to disprove
this relationship. The head is nearly ovate; the eyes mode-
rately prominent; the ocelli wanting; the inner margin of
each eve is armed with two small spines, and the hind part
of the crown of the head is raised into a rugose tubercie
armed in front with minute spines. The mesothorax is
rather short and subrugose. The teginina are nearly square,
with the costa elevated into a strong crest, rounded in front.
The wings are large and pale, wth the costal area darker
and clouded. The abdomen is elongated, as wide as hc
mesothorax; the fourth1 fifth and sixth segments a little
dilated at a short distance from the base of each; the seventh
and eighth short, and rather wider than the preceding; the
ninth subquad rate, rather constricted in the middle on each
side, with the apical angles rounded off, and the hind
margin emarginate in the middle. The anal styles arc
short, obtuse, and not exposed; the three terminal ventral
segments arc short, only extending to the base of the ninth
dorsal segment; they arc moderately swollen, the eighth
being very short and transverse. The legs arc rather short
and robust; the four posterior fcmora with two or three mi-
nute spines on the under side near the tips; the basal joint
of the tarsi is not longer than the three following joints.

This species is shorter and more robust, especially in
the mesothorax, with shorter legs than many of the allied
species. The head is short, with the eyes prominent; it
is destitute of ocdili, and is of a lutcous colour; the crown
is rugose and armed with minute spines, as is also the pro-
thorax. The antcnn~ extend to the middle of the meta-
thorax ; they are luteous, with the tips of the alternate
joints black. The mes3thorax is robust and nigose, being
covered with numerous spinulose granules. The tegnhinn
arc subquadrate, with the carina strongly elevated into an
oblong lobe; they arc lutcous buff, with the base, outer
margin, and tips blackish. The wings arc pale, and slightly
tinged with rosy bro~~-n; the costal area is blackish in front,
liLteOus behind, the base pale luteous with a black patch.
The abdomen is more slender than the metatliorax, gra-
dually thickened to the fifth and sixth segments; the three

The only female specimen which I have seen of this spe-
cies very closely resembles Necroscia Sal,nana:ar (P1. XVI.
fig. 6) in its general form and proportions, but differs in its
uniform fulvo-lutcous colour, in the possession of three
distinct, although small, ocelli, in the more strongly granu-
lose mesonotum, in the uniform colour of the costal area of
the fore wings, and in the two small horns with which the
sixth ventral segment is armed at its extremity. The head
is rather longer than wide, with a slight circular impression
between the eyes, within which the ocelli arc placed; the
hind part of the head is slightly raised, and divided by a
longitudinal impressed line down the middle. The antenna~
are very long and slender, with very numerous joints
scarcely discernible. The mcsonotum is covered above
with minute granulcs,without any raised longitudinal carina.
The tegmina arc small, ova!, obliquely truncate at the ex-
tremity. The wings are large, somewhat byalinc, and co-
lourless; the costnl arcs, pale fulvo-lutcous; the median
vein concolorons with the body, simple, and rather darker
than the remainder. The abdomen is wider than the thorax,
nearly parallel; the last three dorsal segments short; the
tenninal one ernarginate, exposing a minute rounded lobe
at its apex; the anal styles are of moderate size, concolo.
Tons, porrected, and resembling a small open forceps; the
sixth ventral 8egment has a small deflexed spine on each
side at its extremity; the operculnni is nearly straight and
compressed, its apex acutely bifid.
I have not thought it necessary to give a figure of this
insect, as it bears so grr.at a general resemblance in its form
and proportions to Yecroscia Salmana.ar.

This species is distinguished by its smooth, cylindrical,
glossy body and peculiar colouring. The head is oblong
and cylindrical, smooth, and destitute of spines; the eyes
of moderate size. The antenna~ arc rather short, black, and
slender, about 22-jointed, the joints of equal thickness to
the tips. The pro- and mesothomax are slender and unarmed,
the latter long; they are of a green colour, as weU as the
tegmion, which are elongate-oval, with the central carina
but slightly elevated. The wings are of moderate size,
pale brown; the cost.al area green, with the hinder portion
tessellated with small brown spots within the numerous
areolets; the median vein is furcate near the base. The
abdomen is long, slender, and brown-coloured, with the
articulations paler; the three terminal segments are rather
dilated; the three terminal ventral segments not extending
beyond the extremity of the eighth dorsal segment. The
legs arc long, slender, and simple, except that each femur
is armed beneath near the tip with two minute spines; they
are dark green, with the tibiae and tarsi greenish black.

I have only seen a single female of this species, which is
dosclv allied to P/i. Firaciryjiterum of Dc flun (ii!. 13. f. 2),
from which, however, it differs in being more slender and
smaller, the legs thinner and more elongated, and the wings
considerably longer, reaching nearly to the middle of the
fourth abdominal segment. The general colour is an ob-
scure rusty brown. The pro and mesothorax granulose.-

with the two basal joints dilated and flnttcncd. The me-
sothorax is rather more than four times the length of the
prothorax; it is very slightly, but gradually, widened from
the front to the base of the tegnhina, which are oval, with
the median carina scarcely elevated. The wings are opake
whitish, with fine brown veins; the costa! area brown,
slightly clouded with darker shades. The abdomen is
simple; the terminal segments slightly dilated; the apical

This species is closely allied to N. P/,riusa, but is well
distinguished by its short 3-ocellated head, its unicotorous
antennie, the proportions of its prothorax and unarmed me-
sothorax, shorter tegmina, reticulated wings with the me-
dian vein of the costa! area furcate, differently constructed
terminal segments of the abdomen, and fasciated legs. The
head is flattened above, with the three small ocdlli distinct;
the eyes very prominent. The antenna~ `very long and
slender, uniformly brown. The prothorax is of the usual
length. The mesothorax slender and simple, widened be-
hind. The teginina short, aubquadratc, obliquely trun-
cate, with the median carina formed into a strong conical
c]evation in the middle. The wings are long and narrow,
pale brown, the middle marked with numerous hyaline
waves; near the tip is a rather indistinct transverse paler
cloud; the costal area itself is but slightly darker titan the
rest of the wing, and unspotted; its median vein is furcate
before the middle of its length, the two branches uniting
together before the tip, and the united vein again joining
the next rein still nearer to the tip of the wings. The ab-
domen is long and slender; the last joint alone pale futvous
buff; this joint is truncate at its extremity, the sides being
strongly deflexed, the deflexed angles armed within with
short teeth; the eighth dorsal segment is nearly twice
as long as the seventh; the three terminal ventral seg-
ments are very short, scarcely reaching beyond the base
of the eighth dorsal segment. The legs are long and
slender, with the tarsi lutcous; the fore legs are dark
brown, the four hind ones black at the tips of the femora;
the tibi~ are also black, with two or three broad luteous
rings.

The male of this species is very much elongated, sub-
cylindric, and of a dull brown colour varied with luteous
markings. The head is as wide as the metatharax, rather
flat above, with the eyes very prominent; between the eyes
is a dark patch, within which arc two small luteous dots
resembling ocelli; the hind part is marked with several
dark lines. The antennxe arc long and slender, luteous at
the base, with the joints darker at the tips; beyond the
middle they are slightly marked with broad paler annuli.
The prothorax is long and narrow, being about ball' the
length of the rnesothorax; it is obscurely coloured with
three dark lines down the middle and sides. The meso-
thorax is narrow, slightly dilated behind; it is brown, with
three small luteous spots arranged in a triangle near the
fore margin, and behind these is a central larger luteous
spot; the hind part is more obscurely coloured: each side is
armed with about ten small spines. The tegmina nrc ob-
long, truncated behind, with the carina elevated into a small
cone in the middle; they arc brown, with the outer margin
Zuteous. The wings arc uniformly smoky brown, with a
large triangular patch close to the tips luteous; the veins
arc but slightly coloured; the costal area is somewhat
darker brown, with the fore margin dirty pale buff; the I
veins are marked with darker dots; the median vein simple,
united near its apex with the following vein. The abdo-
men is-long, very slender, cylindrical, and dark brown; the
terminal segments fulvous; these are dilated; the last fur-
cate at its extremity, the (urcation armed beneath with small
spines; the anal styles arc deflexed, thick, and obtuse at
the tips; the three terminal ventral segments arc very
short, not extending beyond the middle of the eighth dorsal
segment, and considerably swollen; the middle legs (the
only ones left in the unique specimen which I have seen)

The only specimen which I had, at first, seen of this spe-
deS is a very imperfect one in the National Collection. It
is long and slender, subdepressed, with the middle segments
of the abdomen forming the widest part of the body. It is
smooth, and destitute of spines or tubercles. The general
colour is buff with a greenish tinge; the abdomen brownish.
The head is small, and destitute of occhli; it, as well as the
pro- and inesothorax, is marked with a slender, central, dark
longitudinal line. The tegmiua are small, oblong-ovate,
subtruucnte at the extremity; the carina but slightly ele-
vated; front margin brown. The wings moderate-sized,
rather narrow, nearly colourless; the costal area yellowish
buff; the median vein furcate at a short distance from the
base. Abdomen very long, widest in the middle, gradually
attenuated to the tip; three terminal dorsal segments not
different in appearance from the preceding, but shorter;
the terminal one slightly notched at the tip, exposing the
two `very minute anal styles. The operculum is small and
acute, not extending to the middle of the eighth dorsal seg-
ment, followed by two elongated flattened appendages ec-
tending beneath the ninth dorsal segment. Legs wanting.

This species is very long and slender; the wings, although
of large size, scarcely covering more than two-thirds of the
abdomen. The general colour is uniform pale reddish
brown with a tinge of buff, the costa! area being more or
less clouded with grey and luteous. The head is oblong,
finely granulated on the crown with a fine central longitu-
dinal impressed line. The antenn~ are very long and
slender, the basal joint small; the terminal joints very nu-
merous, but indistinct. The pro- and mesothorax arc finely
granulated on the back and sides. The tegmina arc oval,
truncate at the ends, very slightly angulated ncar the middle
of the main carina. The wings are somewhat opake, of a
very pale greyish buff, with the veins luteous or slightly
tinged with rosy; the costa! area more or less mottled with
grey and lüteous; the median vein simple. The abdomen
is Ion; and simple, gradually attenuated to the tip, with
the anal styles elongated and posteriorly porrected; the
oviduct is not swollen, and does not extend quite to the ex-

This obscure species is well distinguished by the abort
multj.sinuated femora and tibizc, as well as by the sub-
lineated granulation of the mesonotum. The head. is
nearly square, slightly elevated at the hind part, and gm.
nulose. The antenn~ are long and very slender; the
joints short. The mesothorax is gradually broadened behind,
being wider than the head at its base; the granules are
larger than on the pronotum, especially those towards the
fore part, where they form several irregular lines. The
tegmina are oval, with the subbasat elevation of the median
canna slightly marked; the veins arc not very prominent,
but arc marked with severn] short whitish spots. The
wings are of moderate size, brownish, with the longitudinal
veins darker brown; the costa! area is obscure and darker
brown, varied, especially towards the extremity, wrh greyisb
buff; the chief vein is simple, varied with brown and lutcous.
The abdomen is wider than the mesothomnx, of nearly equal
width throughout, each of the six basal segments being
rather dilated on each side towards its base; the three ter-
minal segments are gradually narrowed; the seventh and
eighth with an elevated tubercic near the middle of the
hind margin. The ovipositor is conical, depressed, with a
~ carina on each side from the ba.,c to the middle,
enclosing on each side a raised polished spot, giving to the
ovipositor, when secu from beneath, the appearance of a
fox's face, the nose or tip of the ovipositor being slightly
emarginate. The legs are rather short; the femora and
tibia~ (except the tibjic of the fore legs) rather dilated, and
multisinuated along their whole length; the basal joint of
the tarsi is simple, and about as long as the three following
joints.

The only specimen which I bare seen of this species
is a male. It is nearly allied to N. lola,, but is smaller,
much more slender, and with the femora not toothed be-
neath near the tips. The head is quadrate, with the eyes
large and prominent; the bind part of' the crown is ele-
vated convexly. The antenn~ are very long, brown, with
the two basal joints dull luteous. The mesothorax is very
long and slender; it is nearly smooth on the upper side,
with but the slightest traces of granulation. The tegmina
are small, elongate-ovate, with a pale green line running
outside the ordinary, rather slightly marked carina, and
with a very smstll conical elevation towards the base. The
wings are ~ubhyaIine, being very slightly stained with
dusky; the longitudinal veins pale brown; the costal area
dark green, paler at the base, and with the second rein not
furcate. The abdomen is very long and slender; the three
terminal segments short and but little swollen, the ninth
having its apical lateral angles defiexed, with short spines
on their inner margins; the caudal styles are obtuse, and
inflexed at the tips; the three terminal ventral segments
arc short, extending rather beyond the middle of the eighth
dorsal segment, and but slightly swollen. The legs are
long, slender, and simple; the femora destitute of a small
spine near the tips beneath; the tarsi are slender, with the
basal joint longer than all the following united together.

This male species, of which I have seen but a single in-
di~idunl (interesting on account of the partial development
of one of the fore legs), is long, very slender, and cylindric,
with the body entirely smooth, except the mesotborax,
which is very finch granulose throughout its entire sur-
face. The head is nearly square, but slightly convex, with
two minute black dots between the eyes, and a fine im-
pressed line down the middle of' the back of the head, cx-
tendiug also through the pronotuin; the mesonotum having
a fine central carina. The antenam are long and vez~y
slender, each composed of' about seventy joints, each
fourth joint being black; the remaining joints being of the
general colour of the insect, which is of a luteous brown.
The tegmina are small and nearly square; the central
carina elevated into a conical tubercie towards the base.
The wings arc large and somewhat hyaline, slightly stained
with brown, with pale brown veins; the costal urea tinged
with rosy brown, and varied with darker rosy-brown irre-
gular and ill-defined spots, especially in the middle of the
fore margin, the chief vein being also dotted with brown.
The abdomen is long and simple; the three terminal seg-
ments shightly dilated, the last qundrate, with the extre-
mity truncate and much deflexed; the three terminal ven-
tral segments extend to the extremity of the body, and arc
but slightly swollen beneath. The legs are short, slender,
and simple, except the femora, which have a minute spine
on the under side near the tip; the basal joint being as
long as all the rest united.

Loiag, slender, subcylindrical; the female more robust,
with the hind part of the mesothorax and the metatliorax
dilated. The general colour of the head and thorax is ful.
vous or luteous, varied with dark brown markings. The
bead is unarmed, and furnished with two small round
tubercies between the eyes, which appear to he developed
into ocelli in the mule; the bind part of the head is marked
with eight more or less distinct dark lines. Tue nntcnnm
are very long and slender (one-fourth longer than the entire
insect in the male); the basal articulations arc luteous; itt
the distance of half an inch from the base the joints be-
come very short, a single joint at equal distances apart
(about a quarter of an inch) being pale at its base, and
there being also a ring of white near the tip. The pro-
thorax is marked with two rather angulated lines down the
middle. The mesothorax is marked with several dark
patches, especially one on each side near the tegmina; its
disc is covered with small lutcous granules. The tegmina
are subquadratc, with the carina moderately elevated in the
middle int.o a rounded lobe; they are black, with the
wings are long and rather narrow; the costal area is green,
with the veins (both longitudinal and transverse) paler,
marked with a number of dark brown clouds furming mdi-
stiuct fascixe; the chief longitudinal vein is simple. The
posterior area is brown, more or less strongly tinged with
rosy red. The legs are luteous buff, with dark brown
rings; they are slender and simple, with the basal joint of
the tarsi long, and pale yellow, with the tip black. The
abdomen is brown, with the articulations paler; that of the
male is very slender, with the three terminal segments
rather short and slightly swollen; the last segment attenu-
ated and notched at the tip; the three ventral segments are
moderately swollen, c~tendin; a little beyond the base of
the ninth dorsal segment. The terminal segments of the
female arc simple, the opereuluin c~tending to half the
length of the ninth dorsal segment.

I am only acquainted with a single very mutilated spe.
czrnen of this species in the National Collection. The ab-
domen is broken off at the third segment, but the whole
form of the insect seems to indicate it to have been a male.
It is long, slender, aubc'vlindrica), entirely dark brown;
the head, pro- and mesothorax ñnely granulose on the
upper side. The head is destitute of ocelli; it is subovate,
with the eyes moderately prominent. The tegmina are
small and obovate, obliquely truncate at the tips; the Ca-
rina is but moderately and gradually elevated near the base.
The wings are of moderate size, pale brown, with the costal
area dark brown, the base pale buff. The legs arc mode-
ratcly long and slender, destitute of spines or lobes. The
abdomen is slender, cylindrical, and smooth; the six ter-
minal joints broken off.

I have only seen a single male of this species, which is
well distinguished by its very Ion; and slender mesothorax
and its obscure greenish-brown colour. The head is sub.
quadrate, the hinder part not at nil elevated. The eyes
rather small, but `very prominent. The antenna! long,
slender1 and blackish. The inesothorax finely granulated
above, about four times the length of the prothorax. The
tegmina cbscure greenish, small, oval, scarcely carinated,
and but slightly angulated towards the base. The wings
are scarcely stained with brown; the costal area is greenish
brown, paler green along the inner margin; the veins dark,
the principal ones varied with minute whitish spots; the
second vein is not furcate. The abdomen is very long and
slender; the terminal segments rather widened, but not
swollen, the last with the edges deflexed at the tip, and
armed with minute teeth on the inside; the anal styles are
thickened, and obtuse at the tips; the terminal ventral
segments have, I believe, been injured in the unique male
which 1 have seen. The legs are long and slender; the

This handsome species is closely allied to N. Marmessus,
Westw., but is at once distinguished by its more sombre
colours, reticulated wings, basal (ascii] of the tegmina, &c.
The female also bears a considerable resemblance in general
form to the female of that species, figured in P1. XIX. fig. I.
The general colour is reddish brown. The male has the
head rather large and convex, of a bright orange colour.
The eyes large and prominent. The antenna! very long
and slender, blackish with three white annuli, the third
being close to the tip. The pro- and mnesothorax have the
upper surface finely granulated; the latter is rather widened
in its hind part. The tegmina arc rather broad, sub.
qundrate; the carina strongly marked, acute along its ridge,
and elevated between the middle and base into a conical
lobe rounded at its top; the base of the tegmina is occu-
pied by a broad eutirc yellow fascia. The wings are large,
pale brown, with the base and apex uniform brown, the
middle portion occupied with numerous slender white trans-
verse reticulations; the costal area is pale reddish brown,
scarcely darker than the posterior area, and with the veins
scarcely distinct; the median one simple. The abdomen
is long and slender; the apical segments short and simple;
the anal styles produced into a pair of small curved forci-
patcd appendages, setose, incurred, and thickened at the
tips. The terminal ventral segments arc short and consi-
derably swollen. The legs are very slender and simple, and
of an orange colour.
The female agrees with the male in general colours, but
has the body more robust and the legs shorter; the me-
dian vein of the costal area is furcate at about 71~ lines from
the base; and the operculum is acutely boat-shaped, and
extends to the extremity of the abdomen.

This species is closely allied to N. Marmeaaua, but differs
in its colours and in the clavate anal styles. It is very
slender and cylindrical, greenish brown and opake. The
bead wide, with very prominent eyes; ocdlli obsolete.
The antcnn~c arc longer than the body, very slender, dark
brown, with four white rings placed at equal distances
apart, the last being close to the tip. The pro- and meso-
thorax are simple. The tegmina are small, subovate, red-
dish brown; the carina black, acutely, but not strongly,
anguhited before the middle; the outer margin white.
The wings large, brown, with scarcely distinct paler trans-
verse clouds between the longitudinal veins; the latter are
rather darker reddish brown; the costa! area is reddish
brown, scarcely darker than the hind part of the wing;
the median vein simple and pale green; the fore margin at
the base is reddish brown. The abdomen is blackish
brown and slender; the terminal segments short, and but
slightly swollen, the last with its lateral posterior angles
produced; the anal styles porrected, incurved, and gra-
dually clavate to the tips; the three terminal ventral seg-
meats arc constricted at the base of each, the last extend-
ing to the end of the last dorsal segment. The legs arc
long, very slender, and simple, and of lutco-fulvous colour.

This very slender species is well distinguished by its iri-
descent wings, and the white granules on the pro- and
mcsothorax. The head is rather broad, unarmed; eyes
large; front of head dirty whitish, with the upper lip
tinged with green. The antcnna~ are very long and slender,
dark brown, with three distant white annuli. The mcso-
thorax is slender and nearly cylindrical; the under surface
and sides pale greenish buff; the disc, like that of the pro-
thorax, dark brown, with a fine raised longitudinal median
line, the surface covered with numerous minute whitish
granules. The tegmina are very small, nearly round; the
middle of the central carina very strongly elevated and
rounded, brown; the costa tinged with green and pink,
and the disc marked with a transverse whitish line. The
wings are brown, very transparent, and strongly iridescent;
the costa! area pale brown, strongly tinged with pink, and
with a pale whitish line extending from the base to about
the middle, where it is gradually lost. The fore legs arc
wanting; the four hind legs are long, very slender, and
simple, brown; the tips of the fcmora and the tarsi pale
buff. The abdomen is long and slender, brown, paler be-
neath, and tinged with green; the three terminal segments
dilated; the ninth strongly emarginate at its extremity,
with the obtuse anal styles porrected, curved, and setose;
the terminal ventral segments arc much swollen, the last
not extending to the extremity of the eighth dorsal seg-
meat.

Fine specimens of the male of this species have been re-
ceived from Mr. Wallace. The female is now described
for the first time from a specimen obtained by mc from the
Museum of Leyden.
It is of a reddish-brown colour, the head and anterior
femora having a dull greenish tinge, the former with a
dark red triangular patch between the eyes, and with seve-
ral slight longitudinal darker lines at the back part of the
head, which is very convex. The antennae have two short
pale rings beyond the middle. The mesonoturn has a
slender raised longitudinal line down the middle, and the
disc exhibits a number of minute pale granules. The cen-
tral carina of thc tegraina is conically elevated and very
acute along its whole length. The median vein of the
costal area of the wings is furcate at about one-third of the
length from the base. The legs are slender, with a very
minute tooth near the extremity of the femora beneath.
The ovipositor reaches nearly to the extremity of the ab-
domen, and the anal styles are short, slender, porrected,
and setose.

The male is figured by Stoll. The fore femora have two
spines beneath near the tip, the middle fcmora have three
or four small spines near the tip, and the hind feniora have
about eighteen along their whole length beneath, three near
the tip being larger than the rest. The tegmina are ova],
with a dark central longitudinal streak furcate towards the
middle, the outer branch being again furcate beyond the
middle. The three terminal segments of the body in the
male arc of nearly equal length, the seventh segment gra-
dually widened, the eighth subquadrnte, the ninth subqua-
drate but emarginate along its apical truncation, with a
minute terminal lobe and a longitudinal carina along the

The pale.ninged antcnnm and the elegant contrast of the

men, which is glossy. The head is broad, with the eyes
vezy prominent, convex above, fine green, with a large yel-
low rounded spot between the eyes. The antenum arc very
long and slender, blackish, with about five whitish annuli.
The metathorax is finely granulated. The tegmnina are
small, subovate, rather strongly angulated near the middle;
the base, and a spot between the base and the middle of
the inner margin, together with another spot beyond the
middle of the outer margin, pale. The wings are rosy pink;
the costol area green, yellower at thc base, with the veins
darker green, the principal vein not being furcate. The
abdomen is long and slender; the termin~~~l segments con-
siderably swollen; the ninth dorsal segment with an acute

edge; the anal styles obtuse, incurved, and forcipated. The
legs are long, slender, unarmed, test.aeeous-coloured; the
basal joint of the tarsi as long as all the rezn~ning joints
united.
The female is larger and broader, with shorter legs. The
general colour resembles that of the male; the pale spot
across the middle of the tegrnina transverse, and extending
to the inner margin, and the pale spot of the outer margin
more oblique. The chief vein of the costal area is furcate.
The three terminal segments of the abdomen compressed
and. short; the ovipositor not swollen, extending to the ex-
tremity of the ninth dorsal segment; the anal styles straight
and obliquely porrected.
The colour and form of the spots on the head and teg-
mina vary in different specimens. In some males the bead
is spotless, in others it has a large rich fulcous-ycllow round
spot between the eyes. In some specimens of both sexes
the spots of the tcgnzina are transverse, oblique, and whitish;
in others fulvous yellow; whilst in some the spots arc round
and fulvous yellow. I at first considered the specimens
with rounded spots on the tegmina as a distinct species, to

I am indebted to Mr. Curtis for permission given to Mr.
Haliday to make a drawing of the typical specimen de-
scribed by Mr. G. it. Gray from his Collection, which is a
male. A female in the Leyden Museum is ticketed "Nova
Hohlandia?" Mr. Wallace has sent it from Malacca. It is
a very slender species. The head has a black line on each
side behind the eve, which also extends along the sides of
the pro- and mesothorax. The anterior femora have two
black rings beyond the middle; the middle femora have a
single black ring near the tip, and the hind femora (in the
female) are without rings; the four anterior tibite in the
female are annu]atcd with black, and the tip of the basal
joint of the tarsi in the middle legs anti the extremity of
the hind tibiic are also dark-coloured.

and very large wings, as well as for the various colours of
the latter. The head is small and convex, destitute of
ocefli, fulvous, with a black spot on each side behind the
eyes. The antenute are black, with the two basal joints
luteous green. The extremities are broken off at nearly
an inch from the base. The prothorax is nearly equal in
size to tbc head; it is green, with the anterior lateral angles,
two contiguous spots in the middle of the fore margin, a
spot on each side above the insertion of the fore legs, and a
spot on the middle of the hind margin black. The meso-
thorax is short and rather narrowed in front, having a
slight constriction close to the fore margin; it is slightly
rugose, green, with two spots on the disc towards the fore
margin, a slender lateral line on each side, and a transverse
spot near the hind margin black. The tcgtnina are broad,
nearly square, with the angles rounded off, green, rugose,
with a strongly angulated red carina. The wings are very
large; the costal area green in front; the strong midrib
red, furcatc beyond the middle; the hind part black, with

head with a slender black line down the middle, and one
on each side behind the eves. The antcnn~ long and
slender, especially beyond the middle, with very numerous
short joints; they, as well as the legs and anterior part of
the body, are finely villose. The pro- and mesotborax have
a fine black line down the centre, and the latter has also
a fine line on each side within the lateral margin of the
mesonotum. The tegmina are small and shortly ovate,
strongly carinated down the middle, which is elevated into
an angle a little before the centre of the carina. The wings
arc large and rather hyaline, with the longitudinal veins
brown; all the transverse veins widely bordered with a
brown shade, which becomes confluent towards the tips of
the wings; the costa! area mulvous buff, rather darker at
the base in the female, and slightly clouded with darker
shades. The legs arc rather short and simple, and marked
with several very fine dark longitudinal lines; the tarsi
have the basal joint as long as the three following. The
abdomen is reddish brown, with several fine dark longitu-
dinal lines; that of the male is narrow and of nearly uni-
form width; the seventh joint rather narrowed; the ninth
wider, with the posterior lateral angles rounded off; the
terminal ventral segments are scarcely swollen, the eighth
and ninth being confluent and pointed at the tip, which
does not extend beyond the eighth dorsal segment; the
anal styles are prominent, slender, and obtuse at the
tips.
The female has the extremity of the body gradually
attenuated, the terminal joint being bifid at the tip, with
the anal styles protruded backwards and placed close
together, giving the appearance of an extra minute joint.
The operculum is but moderately swollcn, and extends to
the middle of the ninth dorsal segment, its apex being
bifid.

I have only seen a single male of this pretty species, the
general colour of which is pale obscure greenish lutescent;
it is smooth and destitute of spines or tubercies, except two
small conical tubcrclcs on the inesonotumn rather beyond the
middle. The head is considerably wider than the prothorax,
with the eyes very prominent; the bind part of the crown is
somewhat conically elevated. The anteanT are long, very
slender, and with the joints scarcely distinguishable. The
mesonotum has a fine central longitudinal carina, and on
each side below the raised lateral margin is a short red line
running to the base of the tegmnina. The tegmina are small,
short, subovate, rather sharply carinated down the middle,
and with the centre angulated; they are brown, with the
veins pale, and forming a strongly reticulated surface. The
wings are large, pale brown, the extreme base of a delicate
green colour, and the apex pale along the margin; the
transverse veins are rather widely stained with rather darker
brown; the costal area is dirty luteous, with the longitu-
dinal `veins greenish, the principal vein not being furcate.
The abdomen is long, fihiform, smooth, and of a red co-
lour, knobbed at the extremity; the three apical ventral
segments being considerably swollen, and extending nearly
to the extremity of the ninth dorsal segment; the anal
styles arc short, broad, curved, and somewhat forcipate.

Of this pretty little species I have only seen a single
male, of which the hind legs were wanting. It is smooth,
and destitute of spines or tubercies. The head, pro- and
mesothora.v, tegmina, and costal area of the wings are
green; the mesothorax obscure greenish brown; the abdo-
men red; the legs obscure reddish, with the tarsi pale buff.
The bead is larger than the prothorax, very convex, and
elevated at the hind margin, glossY, with the eyes ~ery
prominent, and having a yellow longitudinal line on each
side behind the eye. The antenme are long and slender,
brownish, paler at the base. The prothorax is small,
glossy, with two yellow spots in front and a larger broader
one behind. The rnesotborax is not half as Ion; again as
the prothorax; it is narrowed towards the base, which is
ornamented above with a yellow spot, and the binder part
with a yellow line on each side. The tegmina arc small,
nearly oval, strongly angulated above in the middle near
the base, green, with a pale line on the outside of the an-
gulated ridge. The wings large, brown; the costal area
green, with a pale longitudinal line; the fore margin dusky;
the chief vein is simple. The abdomen is long, subclavntc,
brownish red; the eighth dorsal segment much larger than
the ninth, which is small and semiovate; the anal styles
large, exserted, and thickened at the tips; the three termi-
nal ventral segments are moderately swollen, the ninth not
extending to the extremity of the eighth dorsal segment.
The legs arc simple, slender, and of moderate length (the
hind ones wanting); the feznora and tibim obscure on the
outside, dull reddish on the inside; the tibim dark at the
tips, and the tarsi pale buff.

Elongate, subcvlindrical, pale brownish buff. The male
slender; the eyes prominent; head with three fine longitu-
dinal lines on the crown, and one on each side behind the
eves. Mesothorax short. Tegmina small, rather ovate;
carina forming an elevated rounded lobe near the base.
Antenntc and legs grey, much varied with black. Wings

This very remarkable species is well distinguished by its
straight anterior femora, its short square spotted tegmina,
and its large mukivenose wings with the pale brown costal
area spotted with black. The head of the female is mo-
derately large, rather convex, with three slender dark lines
on the hind part of the crown. The antenn~ are slender;
but the tips in the unique female which I have seen arc
broken off. The prothorax has its anterior lateral angles
truncated and incised; its slender hind margin is bright
scarlet. The mcsothorax is not more than one and a half
times the length of the prothorax; it is slender in front,
two-thirds of its hinder portion being widened, its disc gm-
nulose, and the anterior portion of the dilated part with
two large rounded tubcrcles. The tegmina are short, sub-
qun.drate, brown, each with about six small black spots;
the tubercic of the carina is vet, prominently elevated and
obtuse. The wings arc very large, pale smoky-coloured, the
mcmbrnnous portion very thi~klv and transversely veined;
the costal area is fulvous brown, the second vein furcate,
each of the longitudinal veins bearing a series of small
round black spots. The abdomen is rather wide; the two
terminal segments small, the last entire; the caudal styles
rather short and obtuse. The opcrculurn extends nearly
to the extremity of the body; its tip is emarginate; the
sixth ventral segment is entire along its hind nu~rgin. The
legs arc short, rather robust, and unarmed ; the anterior
femora arc straight, being in nowise emarginate at the base;
the basal joint of the tarsi is about as long as the three
following joints united.

The insect which I consider to be the male of this spe-
cies is contained in the Collection of Mr. Wcstcrmann of
Copenhagen, and is represented in P1. XXXV. fig. 5. It
is ot' an obscure lutco-fulvous colour; the mcsothorax with
a green fascia in front; the tegrnina and costal area of the
wings marked with numerous small round greenish-black
dots; the mcmbranous portion nearly pellucid, and scarcely
tinged with brown; the veins very slender, but distinct;
the median vein of the costa) area is simple, but it is united
with the next at a short distance from the tip of the wing;
the antenn~e arc slightly annulated with whitish.

A variety of the ma]e of this species has been sent from
Sarawak by Mr. Wallace. It is represented in P1. XXXV.
fIg. 4, and is slender and of a fulvous-brown colour; the
head very convex ; eyes very prominent; autcnna~ very
long and slender, brown, not annulated with white, the
base lutcous; the pro- and mesothorax granulated, the
latter twice the length of the former, with two-thirds of
its hind portion elevated, the anterior part of the elevated
portion slightly bitubcrc'ulated. The membrane connect-
ing the head and prothorax and the pro- and mesothorax
is bright scarlet ; the mesothorax is also distinguished
by a narrow green margin in front. The tegmina are
nearly square, strongly carinated, reddish brown, with the
veins slender and pale fulvous, forming reticulations. The
wings are uniform smoky brown; the costa) area fulvous
brown, with the transverse veins slender, placed very regu-
larly at short equal distances apart, and pale lutcous; the
median vein simple. The abdomen is brown; the extre-
mitv much swollen beneath, paler luteous. The fore legs
are wanting in the only specimen I have seen; the middle
and hind ones slender, sanguineous, with the articulation
between the femora and tibia pale buff. Its proportions
are as follows

A female, also sent from Sarawak in Borneo by Mr. \Val-
lace, which I presume to be a variety of this species, is
more brunneous, without any tinge of green. The ineso-
thorax shorter and broader, with the entire disc and an-
terior angles more elevated and rugose. The tcgmina also
broader, brown, with all the veins not quite so pale, but
destitute of black dots. The wings rather pink at base;
the costal area without black dots; the membmanous por-
tion richer brown, with the transverse veins not so strongly
marked. The legs red-brown, with the fcmora green at
the tips. The prothorax with the hind margin scarlet.
The length of the insect is 2-~- inches, and the expanse
of the wings 4~.

This species is at once distinguished by its short hi-
tubercutated mesonotum, and short broad tegmina very
strongly elevated between the base and middle, and the
numerous minute spines on the front parts of the body.
The head is rounded, very gibbose; eyes very prominent;
hinder part of the crown armed with several rows of mi.
nute spines. The anteunte are short; the joints slender,
short, and very numerous; they arc dark brown, annulated
with buff, the annuli being near together towards the base.
The pronotum hits the anterior lateral angles acute and
porrected, and the disc is furnished with a few acute gra-
nules. The niesothorax is not twice the length of the pro-
thorax; it is widened behind, especially in the female, and
is furnished with numerous small tubercular spines, the disc
being armed with two elevated granulose tubercies a 1i~tIe
in advance of the middle. In the male the mesothorax is
comparatively more elongated than in the female. The
metathorax is longer than the mesothorax (being nearly
double its length in the female). The tcgmnina are nearly
square, with the angles rounded (those of the male being
rather longer than those of the female); the elevation of'
the carina is very strongly raised and rounded, especially
in the female; the veins are pale buff and finely reticulated.
The wings arc largc and brown, with the longitudinal veins
rather darker; the costa! area is mottled with black, green,
and obscure buff; the chief longitudinal vein is simple in
the male, but furcate in the female. The legs arc short
(comparatively longer in the male), slender, and. simple;
the anterior femora very slightly sinuated at the base. The
extremity, the eighth segment being much the widest, and
the ninth short and nearly straight at its extremity, with
the sides rounded off; the anal styles are rather thick, por-
rectcd, curved, and obtuse at the tips; the three terminal
ventral segments arc considerably swollen, and scarcely ex-
tend beyond the base of the ninth dorsal segment. The
abdomen of the female is gradually narrowed; the three
terminal dorsal segments carinatcd ; the ovipositor is
scarcely swollen, and extends to about the middle of the
ninth dorsal segment.

The female of this beautiful species is unique in the Col-
lection of Mr. Westerznann of Copenhagen, a gentleman
who possesses one of the most beautiful collections of in-
sects in existence, a large portion of which was collected
by himself in Asia and Africa. It is closely allied to the
female of N. Medora (P1. XXVII. fig. 1), but differs in
the smooth anterior portions of the body, short legs, and
tessellated wings. The body is comparatively robust, espe-
cially in the region of the metathorax; it is smooth, green,
and opake. The head obovate; eyes very prominent;
ocelli obsolete. AntcnnLc very slender, of moderate length,
and brown; hind part of head very convex, unarmed, the
fore part lutco-fuscous. The prothorax is short. The meso-
thorax subconical; it is swollen above in the middle into two
raised lobes terminating in points; it and the prothorax are
obscure green, with a slendcr transverse sanguineous mem-
brane in front of each. The tegmina are broad, flat, with
abdomen of the male is slender, linear, and clavate at time

obtuse lobe; the reticulation is indistinct. The wings arc
large and brown, with very numerous, narrow, transverse,
irregular, white undulating fascit~, most distinct towards
the anal margin; the apex of the wing and the portion of
membrane between the two areas white; cost.ai area green,
with the base darker; the median vein furcate. The ineta.
notuuI and abdomen are black; the latter with wide lu-
teous fasciEc occupying the bases of the segments; the two
terminal segments arc very convex; the operculum scarcely
swollen, extending to about the ir.iddle of the ninth dorsal
segment; anal styles porrected and obtuse. The under
side of the body and legs arc Iuteo-fuscous; the latter are
setose and simple, short and slender, with the basal joint of
the tarsi short.

These insects are distinguished from most of the pre-
ceding by the more elongated tegmina, which are, however,
much shorter than in some of the subsequent genera;
hence the name here proposed for the present group.
They nrc united by Burmeister and Dc Haan with Din-
elytron, to which they are perhaps too closely allied. The
three insects placed by Servile in his genus Platycrana
belong to three separate groups, whilst his first section of
t Plàasma comprises the species of Flatycrania which beans
his name. if Cayenne, and not A.mboyna, be the real
country of P/i. acanthopterum of Stoll, it ought to find a
place in the prcsent group.

I have seen but a single specimen of the female of this
species, and am therefore unable to determine whether the
peculiar circumstance of the head being armed on the rigbt
side of the crown with a single spine be a permanent spe~
cific character or not. The general colour is of a reddish
or fulvous brown, opake, and with the head, pro- and me-
sothorax very slightly rugose. The head is oblong, con-
vex, marked on the crown with several dusky lines, and
armed also on the right side of the centre with a small
erect spine. The antcnn~ arc long, and slightly thickened
towards the base. The pro- and mcsothorax arc convex
and unarmed, the latter scarcely twice the length of the
former. The tcgmina arc oval, with the central carina well
dc~ned towards the base, and armed with a small acute
erect spine. The wings are of moderate width, very pale
brown with a reddish tinge; the costa pale brown, with
the chief vein furcatc. The legs short and simple; the
fore femora dilated; the anterior tarsi with the basal joint
as long as the three following united. The abdomen is
convex; the three terminal segments narrowed and short-
ened, the Inst rounded at the tip, with the anal styles ex-
posed at the extremity. The operculum is short and flat,
extending to about the middle of the eighth dor~a1 segment,
the inner appendages forming two rows of flattened plates.

cies. The general colour is dark brown, with a slight ob-
scure greenish tinge. The head, pro- and inesothornx are
finely tuberculated, the tubercies being minute and white;
those of the head arranged in several longitudinal rows.
The rnctathornx is also armed with a number of small
erect spines, bent backwards at their tips. The antenna
arc rather thickened at the base, with the joints consider-
ably elongated. The tegmina are oval, obscure brown, with
the reticulations black and numerous. The wings arc shorter
than in U. Diodes, with the costs] area broad, opake,
brown, paler at the base, and slightly irrorated with white
towards the tip ; the hinder portion is semipellucid,
slighdv tinged with fulvous, with the longitudinal veins
fulvo-luteous. The legs arc rather short, setose, unarmed;
the fore femora slightly dilated; the basal joint of the tarsi
short. The abdomen is moderately broad; the terminal
segments above carinated down the middle; the three ter-
minal segments of nearly equal length, but gradually nar-
rowed; the last rounded behind. The operculum is very
short, not c~tcnding beyond the seventh dorsal segment,
the internal appendages forming two rows of flattened
plates; the anal styles cxsertcd and setose.

This species is well distinguished by the beautiful patch
of pale blue at the base of the posterior area of the wings,
which is immediately surrounded by a dark brown spot.
The bend is oblong, flattened above, opake, slightly rugose,
and with the hinder part imn'cdintdy in front of the pro.
thorax transversely elevated. The antennie of the male
arc as long as the body, and slender, with the joints elon-
gate; those of the female are thickened towards the base.
The head, pro- and mesothorax are dirty luteous, with
severs] dusky lines, marked, especially on the head, with
minute tubercies. The prothorax and mesothorax are flat-
tened above and granulose, with the lateral angles acutely
deflexed. The tegTnina are oval, about as long as the head,
pro. and mesotborax united; they arc dirty luteous-coloured,
with an iU.defined darker streak down the middle, the
central ridge being but slightly indicated. The wings arc
large; the costa] area obscurely coloured with dirty luteous
and darker brown cloudings; the main vein is furcate at a
short distance from the base; the posterior area of the
wings is pellucid, with a small pale blue spot at the base,
followed by a large dark brown patch, shaded gradually off
behind; all the transverse veinlets of the wings clouded
with brown. The legs are rather short, simple, and finely
hirsute; the anterior femora subcompressed; the tarsi short,
with the basal joint about as long as the second and third
united.
The male is much narrower than the female, with the
legs fliore slender, and generalFr of a paler lutcous tint. The
filTh, sixth and seventh segments of the abdomen are gra-
dually widened; the eighth ehort, gradually narrowed, with
the posterior margin deeply and acutely emarginate in the
middle; and the ninth segment is very small and deeply
notched, with the two anal styles porrected, curved, form-
ing a small forcipated appendage; the three terminal seg-
ments beneath are nearly flat, and the last is rounded at
its extremity. The abdomen of the female is gradually
attenuated, with the terminal segments carinated and of
nearly equal length, the last being bi.cmarginate behind, ex-
posing the porrected anal styles; the oviduct is very short,
scarcely extending beyond the seventh dorsal segment, the
interior appendages forming a double series of flattened
plates.

This pretty species is long and rather slender (especially
the male), and is well distinguished by its peculiar colours
and comparatively short mesothorax. The head is large,
rounded, and very convex behind, with two small im-
pressed lines between the eyes in front, and with traces of
longitudinal pale lines in the hinder part; ocelli wanting.
The antcnna~ are long and slender. The prothorax is
square, with the anterior and lateral margins cleva~d. The
mesothorax is short, being about one and a half times the
length of the prothorax; its disc is granulose, the granules
pale, a central line and the lateral margins slightly elevated.
The tegmina arc elongate.ovate, rather more than half the
length of the wings, with a small raised tubercie near the
base; they are pale green. The wings arc large, opake
white, with luteous longitudinal veins and a broad black
apical margin; the costal area is pale along its basal Laif,
the remainder being greenish brown; the chief vein is fur-
cate near the base in both sexes. The abdomen is long
and dark brown, slender in the male, with the tip recurved;
the three terminal joints, rather dilated at the sides above
and carinated along the middle; the terminal ventral seg-
ments are dilated, gaping at the extremity, exposing a pair
of horny hooks and the short anal styles; the three ter-
minal segments of the female are short and narrow, with
the anal styles exscrted; the operculum short, exposing
at its extremity a flattened internal plate, which reaches
to the tip of the abdomen. The legs arc short and robust,
especially the binder femora; the anterior femora arc but
slightly twisted at the base; the hind femora are dusky at
the tips, and these, as well as the hind tibi~, arc finely ser-
rated beneath; the tarsi have the basal joint rather longer
than the three following joints united.

1 am only acquainted with the male of this curious and
very slender species, which ill agrees with the preceding in-
sects, and seems to approach the Pritopi. its general co-
lour is pale greyish brown, opake, with the head, pro- and
mesothorax, and hinder part of the abdomen granulated.
The head is short and rounded in front, convex, with two
rows of short obtuse points on the hinder part of the crown,
four in each row, the outer pair in the anterior row being
the largest. The antennT are rather short, 23-jointed, the
third and three or four following joints very short, the ic-
mainder gradually lengthened. The pro- and mesothorax
are of equal width, the latter about twice the length of the
former; the metathorax shorter than the latter, its two divi-
sions of equal length. The teginina arc oval, obscure light
brown; the outer half of the anterior margin pale green; the
median carina considerably arched towards the base. The
wings are opake, brownish white, with a dark shade along
the outer margin, the veins strongly marked and dark
brown; the costal area pale brown, bright pink for about
one-third of the length from the base; the chief vein L~
simple. The abdomen is long, cylindrical, simple, and
narrower than the thorax, smooth at the base, slightly ru-
gose beyond the middle; the three terminal joints dilated,
the last, truncate at the tips, with the sides oblique and
ernarginate, and the awl styles slightly produced; the ter-
minal ventral segments are considerably swollen (the extre-
mity is injured). The legs nrc short; the anterior femora
curved, rather wide, and slightly waved along the hinder
edge; the anterior tibi~c short, gradually narrowed to the
tip, with a small bind lobe at the base; the four hind Ic.
morn are short, thick, with three strong teeth on the under
edges, 8llghtly angulated near the extremity of the upper
edge; the tibim rather slender and slightly bibbed; tarsi
short, with the basal joint not longer than the second and
third united. The metasternum is considerably dilated at
the sides, with two deep punctures in the middle.

I have only seen a single specimen of the male of this
species (which also differs considerably from the types of
this group, and which, when the other sex is known, will
probably he found to constitute a distinct genus), in the
National Collection. It is of a dull luteous-brown colour,
and opake with a greenish tinge, the head, pro- and mesotho-
nix being finely granulose. The teguiina are dark green in
the middle, the sides being of a browner tint, with a pale
straw-coloured oblique vitta arising on the outside of each
near the base and extending to the middle; the hind wings
have the costal area pale greenish brown, with darker
veins and veinicts, and the hinder area is very slightly
tinged with dusky, with thick longitudinal blackish veins
and dusky transverse ones. The head is broader than long,
flattened between the eyes; the ~nucncd part bordered by
a semicircular row of about eight small conical points, the
two central ones being the largest. The antcnnm are thick
and hirsute (the tips broken off in the specimen before me).
The pronotum has two sinai! erect spines in the middle of
the hind part of its anterior division, the posterior division
having also a pair of stronger laterally porrected spines near
the hinder angles; the detlexed margins of the mesothorax
are sinuatcd. The tegmina arc about the length of the
pro- and mesothorax united, elongate-ovate, narrowed be-
hind. The wings moderately large. The abdomen is much
narrower than the thorax, with a raised central line run-
ning down the middle; the fourth and following segments
also with a similar raised line on each side; the seventh
segment is gradually widened behind, the eighth long and
gradually narrowed, the ninth small and subquad rate; the
anal styles small; the eighth segment is furnished beneath
with a broad foliaceous lobe extending considerably beyond
the extremity of the body; the seventh ventral segment
and the base of the ninth are moderately and roundly
swollen, the last extending nearly to the extremity of the
ninth dorsal segment. The legs are short and rugose; the
femora dilated, especially the anterior pair, which are ful.
vous, with a broad black longitudinal mark beneath; the
under edge of the four posterior with several short spines;
the tarsi have the basal joint scarcely longer than the se-
cond joint. The prosternum has two minute setose lobes
behind the base of the fore legs.

the prothorax, sides finely serrated; of the female about
twice the length of the prothorax, subtniangular, carinated
in the middle, with the sides slanting and serrated. Teg-
mina of the male extending nearly to the middle of the first
segment of the abdomen; of the female about half the
length of the abdomen; median carina scarcely elevated in
both sexes. Wings in both sexes large, nearly as long as
the abdomen; those of the male narrower. Legs short,
simple; basal joint of all the tarsi short; four posterior
femora in the male slender and strongly serrated on XIII
their angles, those of the female with the fore margin di-
lated and dentateci. Abdomen of the male long, slender,

Without any positive statement of the fact to rely upon,

crania Goliatit) is the legitimate partner of Tropidoderus
Childrenii. The amount of development of the wings seems
to be subject to some variation in this species, as Mr.
Fortaum brought from Adelaide specimens of the female
measuring 54 inches in the length of the both', with the
wings expanding fully 9 inches, and with the tegmina
broader than in the type figured by Mr. G. R. Gray. 1
cannot, however, discover any real specific character be-
tween these different specimens. It is true, that those from
Adelaide have the basal portion of the costa! area of the
wings of a beautiful rose-colour; the under surface also of
the whole of the costa! area, is of the same colour, with the
1ongitur~nnl veins pale yellow, and the teglnina also tinged
with rosy; whilst another specimen of the female, measuring
5 inches long, with the wings only expanding 6-~ inches, has
the basal portion of the costa! area half rosy and half pale

species which its author has thought it necessary to
Prisopus, Servile, Enc. Met/i. t. x.
Burmeister; be Haan.
Prisopus et Platytelus, G. B. Gray.
Body of the male somewhat linear, of the female broad
and subdepressed; terminal segments of the body gene-
rally furnished with niembranous lobes at the sides; anal
styles moderately long. Head subquadrate and subde-
pressed; ocelli wanting. Antennic long, pubescent, multi-
articulate. Prothorax and mesothorax of nearly equal
length. Tegmina elongate-ovate, generally about two-
thirds of the length of the wings. Wings very broad and
rounded, generally not quite covering the extremity of the
nbdom~n. Legs, especially the anterior and posterior pairs,
with dilated rnembranous si.nuzi.ted lobes on the femora, the
margins of which are strongly ciliated; tibiir dilated, the
anterior pair with two small membranous detached lobes
at the base; basal joint of the tarsi of moderate length.
Abdomen of the females with the ovipositor flattened, and
not extending beyond its extremity.
The general habitat of these curious insects appears to be
South America, although Amboyna was given as that of
the typical species by its first describers. Whether the
"habitat in Incliis," given by Lichtenstcin to Ph. 0/irt-
manni, be intended for India, appears to me very doubtful.
Two pupm arc, however, figured by StoU, one of which is
stated to be from Samarang, Java, and the other from
India. Some credibility seems to be given to these locali-
ties by that of the Cape of Good Hope given by Dc llaan
to PA. Horstokkii (which mac possibly be doubtful), and
also possibly by that of the Isle de France given as the
country where the unique specimen of Pr. March a/i (.Ve-
roderus? March all, ante, p. 103) was taken by M. Marchal
himself, who resided in that island.
Hitherto the charactcrs of the genus have been derived
from females alone, no specimen of the opposite sex
having hitherto been described by any previous author:
Burmeister indeed considered the genus Xeroaorna as the
males. The males of several species arc described below.

The locality of Amboyna given to this species by Stoll,
together with the circumstance that the membranous lobes
of the terminal segments of the abdomen in the specimen
of the fcnalc figured by that author were incurved beneath
the body, as is often the case, and consequently not re-
presented in his figure, lcd Burmeister to consider StoU's
insect as forming a distinct section in the genus, and con-
sequcatly as distinct from the Brazilian insects which he
had before him. This circumstance he corrected in his
memoir in Gcrrnar's Zeitsc/sr~ft, where, however, be con-
siders his Prisopus apiniceps as identical with Stoll's insect,
retaining Pr. spinicollis as distinct. I am unable to sepa-
r:ite the last-named species from Stohl's figure, believing
that the want of a pair of spines on the pronotum in that
figure is an error of thc artist. On the contrary, Bun-
meister's short description of Prisopus .cpinicoilis is as
follows
"Cinereo-viridis; spinis verticis minoribus siraplici seiic;
pronoto scabro, bispinato; alarum area postica albida;
vcnis trnusvcrsis uigris.-Lon~. corp. unc. 2}.-Uabitat in
Brasihia."
Burnicister's description of Pr. spiniceps accords better
with Servile's description of the insect, which the latter
regarded as the Pr.fta6ell~fornna, but which seems to me
to differ from Stoll's figure, judging as I do from a speci-
men evidently named by Scrvihlc himself, formerly in M.
Marchal's collection, now preserved in the Ilopciari Mu-
seum. This wants the two spines on the pronotum, which,
on the contrary, is granulated, as well as the mesonoturn;

and the wings have the posterior area black, the spaces be-
tween the broadly-stained transverse veins being very Small,
and stained with light brown, and not greenish white and
distinct as in the other species.
The male of this species, which appears to be extremely
rare, not having been seen by any previous writer, has 1orn~
been in my Collection. It agrees in general characters with
the female, except in being smaller and much more slender,
the basal segments of the abdomen not being more than
2 lines broad, which is indeed the general width of the
insect.

Referring to the observations on the preceding species. I
shall here merely add, that the specimen of the female in

The spines at the back of the head are not larger than
those in Pr. flabell?forinü; the surface of the head is
nearly smooth; the pronoturn and rnesonotum are distinct]y
granulated; the costa! area of the wings is more tessellated
In the middle, the hinder area very much darker, and the
ventral segments of the abdomen are marked on each side
with a triangular dark patch united in the middle, but not
forming distinct fascire.

The general appearance of the unique female hitherto
known of this species, formerly in my Collection, is so
similar to that of Phaima Horstokidi of Dc Rnan, that,
were it not for the difference of locality, I should be tempted
to consider them as varieties of the same species. The
suggestion of Dc than, that it is possibly identical with Pr.
spinicollia, is destitute of foundation. I can find no generic
characters to separate this species from the typical Prisopi.

This species is depressed, of a brown or grcyish-brown
colour. The head, pro- and mesothorax, and extremity of
the abdomen thickly covered with small granules of a
whitish colour; the hind part of the head also with larger
tubercles, of which the hinder form an irregular transverse
series rather larger than the rest. The antennic are setose,
rather thick, with the fourth and following joints short, but
gradually lengthening; in the male they are 23.jointcd.
The pro- and mesothorax arc nearly of equal size and zip..
pearance, being rugose; the former is spiraculiferous at its
fore angles, the sides being rather dilated in the middle.
The metathorax is as long as the pro- and mesothorax
united, its hinder division being nearly twice as long as the
fore part. The abdomen is narrow and parallel in the
male, but broader and gradually widening to the sixth seg-
ment in the female, the sides being strongly deflexcd; the
fifth and following segments produced at their posterior
lateral angles into a rounded, setosc, deflexed lobe; the ter-
minal ventral segments in both sexes are flat, and the anal
styles are long and flattened. The mnetast.ernum is marked
on each side with a black spot, and the ventral segments of
the abdomen are fasciated with black. The tegrnina are
about two-thirds of the length of the wings, brown or
grcyish, varied with darker shades, the colour of the veins
being more or less interrupted; the main vein is elevated
near the base into a small tubercie. The wings are large,
opake whitiah, with the transverse veins very broadly
stained with brown; the costal area is strongly shaded with
pink throughout its greater portion, varied with brown
patches with paler round spots; the apex is more uniformly

arched, the outer edge scolloped; the tibia~ with two lobes
at the base; the four hind femora and tibi~c arc scolloped
along the lower margiu, as also more slightly so on the fore
or upper margin.

This species is very closely allied to Pr. .Derosus, but
differs in its generally longer and more slender structure
and smoother surface. The head is comparatively broader
and flattened, with two small tubercics behind the eves, and
a row of six similar ones across the hind part of the head.
The autcnii~e arc 27-jointed. The pro- and mcs.notum arc
armed with a few small tubercics. Tln~ abdomen is don-
gated, with the 6th, 7th and 8th segments produced on
each side into an clongoted lobe rounded at the extremity
and defiexed; the anal styles are of moderate length and
flattened. The tegmina and wings are coloured as in Pr.
Berosu~c, except that the costal area is destitute of the pink
tint. The legs are also similarly formed to those of that
species, eNcept that the hind ones are rather longer and
the tarsi are more slender. The mctastcrnum is entirely
luteous brown; but the abdominal segments are fasciated
with black.
These differences seem to mc sufficient, in conjunction
with the locality of the specimen described above, to war-
rant its being considered as specifically distinct from Pr.
.Berosua of Western North America.

Of this species I am only acquainted with a single male.
It. is of an obscure brown colour, with the anterior and
posterior parts of the body finely granulose; the hinder part
of the head with a transverse row of six small spines. The
antcunte are somewhat more than 20-jointed, the second
and few following joints very short, the remainder gradually
elongate and attenuated. The mesothorax is not more
than one-third longer than the prothorax. The metathorax
has the posterior division occupying two-thirds of the length
of the whole. The tegmina are about two-thirds of the
length of the wings, obscure brown, with the median carina
scarcely distinct, aitci not elevated near the base. The
wings arc opake, rather smoky with brown veins, the
transverse ones paler smoky; the costal area obscure greyisb

pink, with the extremity brown; the principal vein is forked
about the middle of its length. The legs are rather short;
the fore feniora arched and broadly dilated; the outer mar-
gin waved and hairy; the tibiic gradually narrowed, slightly
waved; the base with a small oval lobe, hairy on the hind
margin; tarsi flattened. The middle legs are short and
dilated; the femora with three or four waves; the bind
femora flattened, with the anterior margin slightly, and the
hind one strongly, waved and hairy; the tibüe with the inner
edge waved and hairy; tarsi flattened. Abdomen long,
`with the centre of each segment elevated, so us to form an
acute ridge; terminal joints gradually widened, the eighth
lobed on each side; terminal segment rounded; anal styles
rather broad and prominent; terminal segments beneath
flat, not extending beyond the eighth dorsal segment.

This species is of a dull pale lutcous colon,, varied, espe-
cially on the legs, with brown shades. The head, pro- and
mesonotum are covered with numerous gran ules and small
conical tubercics; the head is nearly square. The antennzc
slender and few-jointed. The mesothorax is short, and
gradually widened from the front to the hind part; and the
abdomen is gradually narrowed from the base to the apex
in the male, but widened in the middle in the female; in
the former sex the segments arc also slightly lobed at the
extremity of each, and they arc marked with longitudinal
posteriorly diverging carirne down the centre. The tegmina
are oval, with the central carina scarcely elevated into an
angle towards the base; they are grey-coloured, varied with
white spots. The wings arc dull opake buff-coloured, varied
grey, brighter-coloured at the base, and varied with brown
markings; the main vein is furcate at about one-third of
the length of the wing from the base. The legs are mode-
rately long; the fore femora arched and strongly serrated
on each angle, the serratures clothed with curved hairs;
the fore tibiu~ arc slender and but slightly lobed, but the
four posterior tibia~ are lobed, especially on the upper edge,
and subserrated.
The female has the oviduct wide at. the base and truncate
at thc extremity, which does not extend beyond the eighth
dorsal segment; it is flattened, and followed bc a furcate
appendage, the divisions of which are obtuse; the anal
styles arc minute and lateral.
I am indebted to M. Gu~rin-Mt~ncvil1e of Paris fur a
knowledge of this remarkable species.

The former of these names, according to the ordinary rule
of retaining that given to the male, would have been adopted
if Mr. MacLeav's name had not the priority, and were
equally applicable to both sexes. The specimen figured by
Gray as a male pupa is an immature female, and is pre-
served in the Tiopeiaui Museum. The curved black horny
appendage at the extremity of the body appears to inc to
be a mass of excrement emitted by the insect.

broad membranous lobes.
These insects recede so much further from the ordinary
type of the family ihaii any of the other species, that they
have received the common name of Walking-leaves, whilst
that of Walking-sticks is given to the more ordinary form.
The former of these names is indeed very applicable, for
both whilst alive and seated among the leaves of the trees
on which they live, and also when dead and faded in colour,
it is impossible to conceive a more exact representation of a
growing or withered leaf. Indeed, Mr. Murray informs
us, that it was only on pointing out the living specimen
reared at Edinburgh, whilst resting quietly on the plant on
which it subsisted, that many of the visitors were able to
perceive it.

Mr. C. It. Gray has considered as more probably that of
ii different species (P/i. Gerijon) :-
"Nympha mans antenuis 3" longis glabnis crassis, latere
interiore planis, exteriore rotunelatis, cx 24 articulis corn-
positis; alis usque ad marginem posteniorem articuli 1~
abdominis productis; vagina convexa, apice rotundata;
tibiis uti in cbarnctcribus specificis Inudatis, fernoribus an-
ticis parte interiore tantum lobatis."
I cannot bring myself to think that Perry's Mantis foil-
at us, on which Mr. C. It. Gray has founded his Pit. Gorgon,
is anything else than an ill-drawn figure of a female of Ph.
:icc~foliuns, rather incrcascd beyond the true size, and with
the sides of the abdomen distorted and probably bent up-
wards. Itöscl's figure, referred to by Linni~us, represents
a female specimen, in which the four anterior legs have
evidently been broken off and transposed, the middle pair
as represented being evidently the fore legs. The insect
represented as the male in die Crochard edition of the
Règne Animal, Ins. pl. 79. f. I i, is a male pupa, with the
antenum of the intermediate size between that of the larva
and the perfect male.
Most of the specimens of the female which 1 have seen
are old ones, to which no precise locality is attached; but
iz~ the Uopeian Collection there is one früm the Collection
of Latreille with the locality "Seychelles " attached to it
in his handwriting.

There is a specimen in the Collection of the .Jardin des
Plantes, which appears to agree with Stohl's figure above
referred to; but it is only 2~. inches long; the tegmina are
long, extending to the extremity of the second segment
of the abdomen, which latter is rounded at the sides, the
widest part being at the extremity of the fourth segment;
the sides are, however, bent upwards. I was for some time
deceived as to this specimen, in consequence of its having
had a fore leg replaced by a hind one, and am still by no
means satisfied that it is anything else than a discoloured
and somewhat ill-dried specimen of the male of P/a. sicci-
folium.

The dimensions of the female given above are takcn from
the typical specimen described by Dc Ilnan, still in the
Museum at Leyden. In the Hopcan Museum is another
female, from Manila, in which the wings arc stil] larger,
reaching rather beyond the middle of the fifth segment of
the abdomen.
I have no hesitation in giving the male insect described
above, from the Hopcian Collection, as that of this species,
it harm; also been received from Manilla.

I have on!y seen a single specimen of this very distinct
species, in the Collection of the British Museum. It agrees
with P/s. Ce(e6icu;n in possessing moderately developed
(although shorter) wings, but differs entirely from that
specic~ in the form of the femora and abdomen, stud in the
lobed condition of the posterior tibiic. In the shape vf
the abdomen it approaches P1g. Geryon, but differs from
that species in the dereloped wings and in the lobed hind
tib ice.

The measurements given above are taken from the ori-

by Mr. G. ft. Gray. The fore legs arc now wanting (if
indeed the character of the anterior femora given by that
writer were not derived from Dc Ihan's figure of a male
pupa above quoted). In both the latter and the British
Museum specimen the body may be said to form an elon-
gated lozenge or diamond, the anterior point being placed at
the front of the prothorax, and the widest part being near
the end of the third segment of time abdomen.

I feel satisfied, from an attentive cxitniinntion of the de-
velopment of the tegmina and wings in the two sexes of
this genus, that Donovan's figure above referred to, not-
svithstauding the minutc size (probably inaccurate) of the
anteunte, is intended for the pupa of a male insect, and
not that of a female, as suggested by Mr. G. It. Gray.
Without a more precise knowledge of its locality, it seems
scarcely possible to identify it with thc perfect insect, of
which it is in so immature a condition.

The Ilopeian Museum possesses two of the supposed
males of this species: one from the Collection of M. Mar-
chzi1, named by Serville, with "Seychelles" indicated as the
habitat, in the handwriting of Latreile; and the other.
which I obtained from the Collection of ServilIc itself. .1
can discover no difference between these two specimens and
the typical specimen of the male of Pitytliusu ijioculatum, us
represented from my drawing in Grijith's AniMal Kingdosis,
both exhibiting traces of the two spots on the inner mar-
gin of the fore fcmora, notwithstanding Serville, in a note,
implies the want of these two marks, and consequently
thereupon maintains the distinction of the two species. It
is proper to observe also, that the margin of the basal half
of the outer lobe of the fore femora exhibits traces of the
three minute denticles which exist in the same part of the
mate of Ph. liocidatum. The Hopeian Collection also
possesses several females of this species, also labelled from
the Seychelles and East Indies, from the Collections of Mar-
chal and Servile, which agree with the description given by
Serville.

I am compelled to propose a new species for the male
insect above described, on account of the structure of the
antenna~, the length of the wings, the form of the abdo.
men, and the want of the ocelli on the fourth segment of
that part of the body. I do not know whether we may
not already possess the legitimate female. In the general
form of the legs it agrees with the male of PA. crur~frfiiun
and Ph. Scijt lie, and, as in those species, the fore femorn
exhiba traces of the two pale marginal spots.

given above.
The ñgurea representing this species in Pt. XXXI. have
been drawn from a series of specimens preserved in spirits,
in the Collection of' W. W. Saunders, Esq. It will be seen
that in the more immature state the insect is destitute of the
two ocelli-like marks on the fourth segment of the abdomen.
A very interesting account of the habits, metamorphoses,
and growth of' a male specimen of this insect, reared in
the Royal Botanic Garden of Edinburgh, has been pub-
lished by Andrew Murray, Esq., in the `Edinburgh New
rhilosophical Journal,' new series, January 1856; and the
curiosity of the public to see this interesting animal during
the eighteen months of its existence in the active state in
one of the hot-houses of that estabLishment was so great,
that the Curator of the Gardens, to whose care and judi-
cious management the prolonged life of the insect was en-
tirely due, found it necessary, for the health of the creature
itse1f~, to forbid its being shown on more than four days in
the week.

subsequently examined the typc.spccimens of B. spatulata,
described by Burineister, in the Berlin Museum, I find the

contained in the Hopeian Collection :-
Body long and cylindrical, brownish green, rather shining;
meso- and mctiithorax and basal segments of the abdomen
finely granulated, especially the former. Head oLilong,
simple. Antennu~ very long and slender, with very long
joints; the hind margin of the metathorax and of the two
basal segments of the abdomen with a small raised tubercle
in the middle, the fifth segment with a lurger tubercie in
the same situation, the eighth with the middle of its hind
margin raised into an obtuse conical point; the operculum
extending far beyond the extremity of the abdomen. The
fore legs are moderately long and simple; the middle and
posterior arc shorter and stronger; their femora with two
foliated lobes near the base on the under side, and two
similar ones on the upper side near the tips. The four
posterior tibiu, have the apex triangularly dilated. The
Berlin specimen of the female has the upper surface of the
body rather more strongly granulated, and the five basal
segments of the abdomen hove the raised tubercie in the
middle of the hind margin. The following arc the dimen-
sions of the Hopcian specimen of the female :-

The two sexes of this curious species differ greatly in
appearance, although the identity in the arrangement of
the spines with which they are armed admits of no doubt
as to their being legitimately united. The singular struc-
ture of the terminal segments of the abdomen of the female
especially merits attention.

Denham, R.N.), in September 1857. Although here given
as a distinct species, it will require a knowledge of the male
to determine satisfactorily whether it ought to take a higher
rank than that of a local variety of Ph. Pytlionius, to which
it bears so strong a general resemblance.

at its extremity; the operculuin is large and boat-shaped,
and extends to the extremity of this supplemental tenth

spot on tbc disc between the middle and base. Wings large am!
black, with a large triangular cream-white spot extending from
near the ba.itc to beyond the middle of the wing, an~1 reaching
from the costal margin halfway across the wing; chief vein of the
costal area trifid. Legs short, spineless, dirty greenish black; fore
femora slightly curved; under side of the body pitchy brown, with
the metasternum pale dirty whitc, except at its hindcr margin.
I have named this species after its discoverer, to whose mdc-
fatigable exertions in Brazil, English entomologists arc indebted
* for many of the finest acquisitions to their cabinets.
