INTRODUCTION.

THE object in preparing the present Catalogue has been to give at one view a description
of all the species of PHasm1p# 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 difficult 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.

Section AMBULATORIA.

This Section, comprising insects with legs formed for
slow motion, consists of the single

Family PHASMIDA, Kirby, Serville, G. R. Gray.

Phasmodea, Burmeister.

Phasmina, MacLeay.

Spectra, Latreille.

Phasma, Stoll, Lichtenstein, De Haan.

Prothorax small, not dilated into a shield covering the
head. Legs formed for walking; the fore pair not rapto-
rial ; the hind pair not saltatorial; tarsi 5-jointed. Abdo-
men 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 re-

semble 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 Forfi-
culide or Ear-wigs ; the small size of the prothorax, or
segment immediately following the head, will at once sepa-
rate these insects from the cursorial family Blattide or
Cockroaches ; the simple fore legs from the raptorial Man-
tide ; and the hind legs, not formed for leaping, from the
saltatorial Gryllide, Achetide and Locustide.

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 in-
crease 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 Phasmidz, published by

B

2 CATALOGUE OF ORTHOPTEROUS INSECTS.

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, De 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 pro-
portions 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 antennz; 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 desti-
tute 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 distribu-
tion of the family. The materials, in fact, which we possess
are not sufficient to allow us to tabulate either the groups
or the species ; and I think it right to mention these cireum-
stances as a reason for the omission of these very necessary
additions to most modern monographs, which would other-
wise be comparatively easy of formation. An instance of
such difficulties will prove the impossibility, in our present
limited knowledge of the family, of satisfactorily establish-
ing the position of species known, as it were, only by halves.
Of the large new species from the Feejee Islands, a consi-
derable 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 Tipulide 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, how-
ever, 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 nor-
mally 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 por-
tions of the legs, a description of which could not without
great detail be introduced into the specifie 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 struc-
ture of the terminal segments of the body, containing the
organs of generation, which, as has been long ago re-
marked by the most profound entomologists, afford the
most important specific characters. The six basal seg-
ments 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 gene-
ration 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, bui which in the Australian

As the development of these three terminal

tageous to give a separate measurement of the two portions
of the abdomen.
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,

In the notice therefore of the length of

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 fureate
or not; whilst other mstances have occurred in which the
vein was simple in one sex and fureate in the other.

The admeasurements are made on the English scale of
12 lines to the inch; in cases where the measures are de-
rived from other writers, they are given in the scales which
they have employed.

Another character hitherto unemployed in the determi-
nation of the species of this family, has afforded me occa-
sionally 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 neg-
lected.

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, how-
ever, followed by Serville, adopted the presence or absence of
membranous dilatations on the legs as a primary character ;
the former author using the 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, Bur-
meister and De Haan in this respect.

This species appears to be variable in some of its cha-
racters. Fabricius describes it ‘‘femoribus subtus den-
tatis;’? Latreille, “femoribus ante apicem infra uniden-
tatis.”’ 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 antennz 13-jointed, the
fore femora are quite simple, the four hind ones have four

four posterior femora 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 Silhet, 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 femora near the
base ; and the meso- and metathorax are 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

of the abdomen are swollen, with several longitudinal strize,
a more conspicuous raised line down the middle of the back
and in the middle of each side; the three terminal seg-
ments are short, compressed ; the last rounded at its extre-
mity, with two large oval anal styles. The operculum
scarcely reaches to the extremity of the last dorsal segment.
The fore legs are wanting in the unique specimen before

A specimen of this species from New Holland, 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 are strongly carinated, the eighth segment being
elevated far above the ninth, which has its upper surface
straight, but its under considerably sinuated.

Its proportions are 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 spines; the hind margin is elevated
and slightly tubercled at its sides. The antennz are about
half as long again as the head, 11-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-
ments have the sides parallel, the sixth is gradually nar-
rowed to its hinder extremity, the seventh is parallel at the
sides ; the eighth and ninth are long and gradually acumi-
nated to the tip, which is entire and pointed, the two minute
caudal styles not being visible from above. The opercu-
lum 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.

Closely allied and very similar in general characters to
An. Bogotensis, 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 tubercles.

The male is slender, subcylindrical ; the female broader,
especially across the middle of the body ; black, glossy,
destitute of spines or tubercles. The antenne 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 are
larger and incurved. 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
are fulyous red, with the tips black.

Glossy black ; the head, pro-, meso- and metathorax with
an ill-defined longitudinal chestnut-red vitta on each side ;
the legs and antenns pitchy; the body beneath pitchy-
black and rather glossy. The head has two minute im-
pressions near the anterior margin behind the antenne,
and two others in the front of the crown. The head, pro-
and metathorax, 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 oval club,
the ninth being notched at the tip, with two curved setose
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 behind, ex-
posing the extremity of the two styles (fig. 5a**). The
operculum does not extend beyond the middle of the ninth
dorsal segment, exposing a flattened bipartite membranous
piece (5a6). The legs are rather short and robust, en-
tirely simple; the fore femora scarcely curved at the base.

are short and 20-jointed. The prothorax is wider than the
head, with the anterior angles rounded, exposing the spi-
racles; the dise 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, elytriform, dark greenish-brown wing-cases,
strongly reticulated, but immoveable, 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 elon-
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 female is broader and
swollen, the lateral margins being more membranous than
the dise ; 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 are short and very strong, and
entirely destitute of spines; the fore femora are not bent
at the base. The body beneath is pale luteous-buff, very
slightly spotted with dark brown.

PHASMIDE. ANISOMORPHA. 19

The National Museum in Paris contains several speci-
mens of this species, 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 ; mesothorax (to extre-
mity of lateral scales), 32 lines ; metathorax, 3 lines; ab-
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 :—Head, 2 lines ;
prothorax, 34 lines; mesothorax, 4% lines; metathorax,
47 lines ; abdomen, 18 lines = 33 lines, or 2% inches. It
has the thoracic portion of the body considerably narrower
than the female figured by M. Gay; the prothorax is
nearly square and smooth ; the mesonotum rather oblong
and only slightly emarginate behind, without any decided
indication of the rudimentary wing-scales ; the metanotum
rather oval, and the abdominal segments gradually atte-
nuated to the tip.
me to be reasonable doubt whether this specimen, from
its larger size, can be a female of this species with the
wing-covers undeveloped. I should be rather inclined to
consider it as a distinct species, for which I would propose

From these characters there seems to

The only specimen I 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 tubercles.
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. he
metathorax is as broad as the widest part of the meso-
thorax, subconvex ; 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 are
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 are
very short and ovate. The four fore legs are 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, convex, polished and smooth, with two small

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 are transversely swollen
across the hind part, and the hind ones are marked with
longitudinal impressions. The legs are very long and
slender, the fore femora but slightly curved at the base,
and all the femora finely serrated from the middle to the
extremity on the under side.

I am induced to place this insect in the present genus
on account of its uniform black colour and polished sur-
face. It ill accords, however, with the preceding species,
owing to the great length of its legs and the nodose struc-

ture of its thoracic segments.

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
B. Calamus, is quite distinct from that above described by
Gray. His character is—

ginem posticum lobato. Mas: levis, tarsorum articulo 1mo

The male is referred to Stoll’s fig. 81 (not 87 as mis-
printed in Burmeister) ; but Stoll’s insect is nearly 52
inches long, and his figure neither represents any lobe on
the fourth dorsal segment of the abdomen, nor any dilata-
tion of the basal joint of the tarsi; whilst the female de-
scribed by Burmeister is twice the length of Guilding’s
specimen described by Gray. An examination of the
Lundian specimen, if still in existence at Kiel, can alone
solve this question.

Stoll’s figure 81, on the other hand, is given by Mr. G.
R. Gray as the larva of a species of Cladoxerus (‘ C. fili-
Sormis?”’ G. R. Gray) ; and in the Paris Museum I found
a similar male sent from ‘De la Mana’ by Leschenault,
named Cladowxerus gracilis, fem.* I entirely agree with
Dr. Burmeister in regarding Stoll’s figure as the male of

The female of this species is tolerably well represented
by Stoll, whose figure exhibits the unarmed head, smooth
body, and angulated basal joint of all the tarsi. Fabricius
does not refer his Ph. ferula to Stoll, nor does his deserip-

tion—** M, magna, elongata ; corpore filiformi, aptero,

viridi; pedibus longitudine corporis ; femoribus angulatis,
posticis 4 apice spinosis ; antennze mediocres, apice fuscz ;
corpus totum lve, glabrum, viride absque elytris et alis’”’
—quite satisfactorily agree with Stoll’s figure. Lichtenstein
quotes both Stoll and Fabricius under his ferwla, with the
character— Ph. pedibus aliquanto corpore brevioribus, tar-
sorum articulo lmo triangulari erecto ; anticorum pedum
femora et tibie apice subspinose.” Dr. Burmeister chiefly
distinguishes the female of B. Arumatia (ferula, F. Burm.)
from those of B. Calamus, muricata and simplex 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 Pl. XXIII. fig. 4,
and measures 8} in. in length; its proportions being—
antennze, unc. 4; head, lin. 4; proth. lin. 3; mesoth.
lin. 24; metath. lin. 15; abdom. lin. 481 + lin. 8 + oper-
eul. lin. 24=lin. 59. The head is oval, very convex, with
a minute tubercle on each side near the inner hinder angle
of the eyes. The body 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 foliaceous lobe in the middle of the hind 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 @) ;
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

This is another insect of which the insufficiency of the
early descriptions renders identification nearly impossible.
Fabricius, who first described the species, saw it in Dr.
Hunter’s Museum at Glasgow, and gives “In America me-
ridionali’’ as its habitat. He, however, refers to Herbst’s
Archives, t. 51. f. 2. That figure, however, represents a
species of Bacillus, as above referred to under No. 17.
An examination of the Hunterian specimen, if still in exist-
ence, will alone clear up the question as to the true Fabri-
cian species. Lichtenstein, 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
tubercled ; 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 Pd.
filiforme in the Ohrtmannian Collection,’ he observes, “is
without doubt a male, full-grown, and yet without any
wings. Time will show whether or not the Ph. filiforme
be the male of Ph. Ramulus’’—evidently meaning Ph. fe-
rula (arumatia), of which he states, ‘‘ Habitat cum preece-
dente” (Ph. filiformis).

Dr. Burmeister accordingly regards Ph. filiformis as the
male of B. ferula (arumatia) ; he however describes it as
having the first joint of the tarsi as “ distinctius cristato,”
whereas Lichtenstein expressly alludes to its similarity to

the following joints. Burmeister adds—“ abdominis seg-
mento penultimo utrinque processu acuto dependente

nullo.”’

BACTERIA. 23

A male insect in the National Collection, sent from Tapa-
jos, Brazil, by Mr. Bates, agrees tolerably well with Lich-
tenstein’s figure of B. filiformis. It measures rather more
than 4 inches in its total length ; the antenne, lin. 27; the
prothorax, lin. 14; the mesothorax, lin. 13; the metathorax,
lin. 9 ; and the abdomen, lin. 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
cylindric ; the body and legs entirely destitute of spines or
tubercles ; 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,

I am only acquainted with a single male of this species,
which appears to be closely allied to B. bicornis. It is
long, slender, cylindrical, smooth, except a very few minute
tubercles 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-
tennz long and slender (reaching to the extremity of the
fore tibice) ; mesothorax long and slender, with a few tuber-
cles in front ; metathorax with a small prominent tubercle on
each 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 ; the 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 tubercle ; beyond this, extending beneath the ninth
dorsal segment, is a strong, detached, curved, horny point.
The legs are moderately long, especially the anterior pair ;
the middle and hind femora are rather thickened ; the whole
are destitute of spines.

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 abdomenis 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

BACTERIA. 25

legs are long and slender, the femora slightly toothed be-
neath near the tip.

The female is larger, more robust, and of a dirty luteous
brown colour, with shorter legs; the surface of the body is
smooth; the head and thoracic segments finely mottled
with minute luteous dots ; on the crown of the head behind
is a large, reversed, triangular pale spot, more or less distinct,
enclosing a spear-shaped dark one. The thoracic segments
are quite simple ; the mesothorax is greatly elongated ; the
hinder division of the metathorax 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 fine central carina ;
the anal styles are elongated and straightly porrected back-
wards, being as long as the preceding segment, which is
twice the length of the penultimate one ; the operculum 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 femora and tibie are more or less distinctly varied
with paler spots.

In the want of an opportunity of examining the original
insect from Antigua, described and figured by Drury under
the name of Mantis linearis (Exot. Ent. 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,

hind leg (the right one being broken off) of the unique
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 tubercles. Its proportions are
as follow :—Head, lin. 13; proth. lin. 12; mesoth. lin. 112 ;
metath. lin. 72; abdom. lin. 153+1in. 54=Iin. 203. The
meso- and metathorax are slightly dilated at their hind part;
the abdominal segments are rather narrowed in the middle ;
the eighth segment is considerably longer than the ninth,
which is rather square above, emarginate behind, with two
elongated clavate 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. Burmeister suggests that this insect may be the
female of his Bacteria tridens. 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
sufficient 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
imstance we have a male insect regarded as the female of
another species, whereas the description ‘corpus filiforme ”’
should have suggested to Dr. Burmeister that the insect
was a male.

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 prothorax, and has
two small impressions in front of the crown; the antennze
are broken off. The meso- and metathorax are cylindrical,
and only slightly dilated at the insertion of the legs ; the
abdomen is of nearly uniform width with the thoracic
segments, and 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 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 antenne are longer 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 gra-
nulose, the granules of the mesonotum larger and black.
The metathorax is rather more than two-thirds of the length
of the mesothorax. 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 are short and simple ;

the fore femora broad, and flattened along the upper edge.

considerably dilated at the insertion of the legs, and the
abdominal segments gradually but slightly narrowed in the
centre, the extreme base and apex being also slightly con-
stricted. The general colour is greenish brown, with the legs
slightly mottled with buff. The head is short, broad, and
armed with two erect spines behind the eyes on the crown.
The antenne are very long and slender, slightly ringed with
buff. The prothorax is armed with a pair of erect spines
in the middle of its hind part. The mesothorax is very long
and slender, with several minute whitish tubercles arranged
irregularly ; it is armed at its extremity with two erect
spines in the middle, and two smaller ones at the sides.
The metathorax is about four-fifths of the length of the me-
sothorax and rather more dilated at its hinder extremity,
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 tubercle 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 hinder 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
upper side, concave beneath ; the terminal ventral segments
are much compressed and deflexed, extending to the ex-
tremity of the eighth dorsal segment, which is emarginate
at its lateral margins ; and the anal styles are large, incurved
and obtuse. The legs are long and slender; the four pos-

This species is at once distinguished by the great length
of the mesothorax, which with the prothorax measures one-
third of the entire length of the body. The head is mo-
derately elongated, with the sides parallel. The antennze
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 sides of the meso- and metathorax and
abdomen ; the thoracie segments are but very slightly
granulose ; the mesothorax is marked with a black spot
in the middle of the hind part ; the metathorax does not
equal one-third of the length of the mesothorax, its hinder
division occupying about two-fifths of its entire length.
The abdomenis slender, filiform, the eighth segment longer
than either the seventh or last, which is rounded behind,
subconvex, with the anal styles beneath deflexed, nearly
straight, and subclavate. The legs are long, slender and
simple, with the base of the tarsus more than half its whole

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 head is greatly elongated and narrowed be-
hind the eyes ; in front, between the eyes and the base of
the antennze, are three minute spear-shaped impressions.
The antenne are slender, extending to the middle of the
metathorax. The mesothorax is very long and of equal
breadth throughout, and with a slender raised median
dorsal line (which extends to the extremity of the abdomen).
The metathorax measures three-fifths of the mesothorax
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 gradually widened to the fourth segment, and is
afterwards gradually attenuated to the tip; the three ter-
minal segments together are not longer than the sixth,
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 operculum 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.

I suppose, notwithstanding its length, that the unique
specimen which I have seen is an immature female.

The dimensions given above are taken from the typical
specimen of B. caenosa in the Hopean Collection, the figure
above referred to being too large and robust. The meso-
thorax has on each side two longitudinal rows of small
granules. The abdomen is gradually attenuated ; the ter-
minal 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, having 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
condition, the surface of the body having shrunk in various
parts.

A careful examination of the typical specimen of B. fra-
gilis has satisfied me that it is only a young larva of the
preceding species. It is represented 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, ex-

tending not more than the length of one-third of the eighth
dorsal segment; the remainder of the ventral surface 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 curved and rather broad appendages, and

appears to be marked on each side with a white line.

Mr. Hope has applied the MS. name of B. tenuis to a
small insect in his collection, represented in Pl. XXVII.
fig. 2, which I have no hesitation in regarding as the male
of B.cwnosa. It is very slender, cylindrical, smooth, dirty
brown; the head above marked with a longitudinal pale
line on each side behind the antennze ; the abdominal seg-
ments are rather narrowed in the middle, the base and ex-
tremity of each being gradually widened. The mesothorax
is long, and marked on each side with two rows of small
black granules placed wide apart ; the eighth dorsal seg-
ment is half as long again as the ninth, which is notched at
its extremity, carinated above, and furnished in the middle
beneath with two long, deflexed, curved, obtuse, setose anal
styles ; the eighth and ninth ventral segments are swollen,
especially the angulated base of the ninth, which does not
extend to more than two-thirds of the length of the eighth
dorsal segment. The legs are long, very slender, and
simple.

The four following insects differ so materially from all |

the other apterous species, that I am uncertain (in the
absence of males of each) whether they should be referred
to the other groups of Apterophasmina, or be raised to the
rank of separate genera. In this uncertainty I prefer

leaving them under the old generic name Phasma.

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 abdomen, 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 are 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 are considerably thickened,
armed beneath near the tip with a triangular lobe, ex-
ternally denticulated ; the hind femora are slender, with
several minute spines near the tip. The proportions of a

are very minute and searcely distinct ; the mesothorax is
much swollen behind, the metathorax being considerably
wider than the middle of the mesothorax ; the fifth abdo-
minal segment is dilated, the sixth narrowed, the seventh

This species is nearly allied to Ph. nematodes, De Haan,
p- 132. pl. 11. fig. 6, but is more robust. The head is
elongate behind the eyes, smooth, and moderately convex.
The antenne are 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 metathorax is about five-
sixths of the length of the mesothorax ; its hinder division

occupies about one-sixth of its whole length. The meso-

| and metathorax are shining black on the upper side ; each

extremity fulvous-brown. The abdomen is slender; the
joints gradually but slightly narrowed from the base to the

middle, and then widening again to the tip ; the three ter-

greatly elongated and deflexed, forming two thin append-
ages rounded at the tip, with the anal styles very short
and obtuse. The three terminal ventral segments are mo-
derately swollen, the last only reaching to the extremity

of the eighth dorsal segment. The legs are very long and

slender, especially the anterior pair, which are quite simple;
the four posterior femora are armed on the under side near
the tip with a small spine, and the tibiee are armed with
minute spines beyond the middle ; the tarsi are long and
slender ; the basal joint in the fore legs more than half the
length of the whole tarsi, in the hind legs about one-half
the whole length.

Another male specimen in my collection, also sent to me
from Assam by Major Jenkins, differs in the more slender

form of the meso- and metathorax, the head considerably

shorter behind the eyes, the longer anal styles, the shorter

deflexed lateral extremities of the terminal segment of the
abdomen, and the almost parallel sides of the body.
Another male specimen collected by Dr. Horsfield in |
Java, in the Collection of the East India Company, is still
more slender, with the head as long as in the type, with
two small tubercles at its hinder extremity; it is of a
uniform red-brown colour, except that the tips of the fe-

multiarticulate ; the basal joints subdepressed. The meso-
thorax is comparatively very long, and is rather narrowed
towards the fore part. The metathorax is rather more
than one-third of the length of the mesothorax ; its hinder
portion occupies about two-fifths of its whole length. The
abdomen is subcylindric, with the six basal segments sim-
ple (the remainder are broken off in the unique specimen

before me). The legs are moderately long; the femora of

all the legs are angulated, and armed near the tips beneath
with a minute spine ; the tibiee are slender and simple, and
the basal joint of all the tarsi is about equal in length to
the three following joints.

This species, of which I have 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 eyes, with a few
minute granules and an indistinct row of slightly raised
tubercles across the hind margin. The antennz are slender,
and longer than the fore legs; the thoracic segments are
granulose, the hinder part of the metathorax and the abdo-
minal segments nearly smooth; the metathorax is scarcely
half the length of the mesothorax, and its posterior division
The ab-

domen is widened in the middle, finely margined, and the

three terminal segments are scarcely longer than the sixth
segment ; the terminal one is subdepressed and emarginate
at its extremity, with the very short broad styles 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 femora 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.

small and lateral; the operculum is rather swollen beyond
the middle, its extremity slightly extending beyond the ex-
tremity of the ninth dorsal segment. The legs are rather
short ; all the femora are somewhat thickened, and have
the under side near the extremity armed with two or three
small spines; the anterior tarsi have the basal joint rather
elongated, and compressed at its extremity.

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 antenne is dilated.
The prothorax is armed with a pair of small approximating
spines in front and behind; the mesothorax is granulose,
the points becoming larger next the mesial 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
metathorax is also granulose, with a larger tubercle in the
middle of the hind margin, as 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 rugose, and has the abdomen long and nearly cylin-
drical, the seventh segment being the narrowest ; the ninth
is short, transverse, with the apical angles deflexed, a mi-
nute central lobe, and two minute but rather broad styles
beneath (fig. 8g and 83%). 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 are 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 operculum.

The difference in the structure of the terminal segments
of the abdomen in the two specimens of this species in the
British Museum Collection, led 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. I 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 tibize being compressed at their extre-
mity ; the four posterior tibize are compressed from the
base to the middle, and the tarsi are simple.

Burmeister suggests that this insect (with which, how-
ever, he was only acquainted from the description in the
‘Synopsis of Phasmidze’) may be the male of his Bacteria
acanthopus. The insect before us, however, is itself a
female; and the male of Burmeister’s species, according to

De Haan, is winged.

Luteous-green (probably vivid green whilst living), rather
polished. The head considerably larger and wider than
the prothorax, oval, with a number of small spines on the
crown arranged symmetrically. The antenne rather short,
brown, with the broad basal and the second joint fulvous.
The prothorax is entire ; the mesothorax gradually dilated
from the fore margin to the middle, behind which the sides
are parallel ; the upper surface is armed with a number of
small spines placed irregularly ; the metathorax is slightly
wider than the mesothorax, being rather swollen in the
middle on each side and in front of the base of the hind

I am induced to consider the insect represented in Pl. IT.
f. 6 asa 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 exserted style at the extremity of the

body resembling a tenth joint ; but the opereulum 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 specimen 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 spined 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
ferrugmous. The female is ferruginous brown, with the
abdomen darker coloured, the spines and small tubercles
being more ferruginous. The male 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 head 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 dise on each side is armed with a strong,
obliquely erect, bifid spine, each followed, in the female, by

are armed with a row of about six small spines ; the dise in
the male is armed on 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 mesothorax 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 tubercles.
The thorax beneath is unarmed. The abdomen is consi-
derably narrower than the metathorax ; the segments are
nearly square in the male and very finely rugose, but trans-
verse in the female and finely granular, with a transverse
ridge of tubercles near the hind margin. The terminal seg-
ments of the abdomen in the male are but little swollen ;
the terminal dorsal segment slightly emarginate in the
middle, and the last ventral segment rounded at its extre-
mity ; the terminal dorsal segment in the female is cari-
nated, with an impressed line running down the middle of
the carina; the operculum large, but not extending beyond
the extremity of the abdomen. The legs are moderately
long in the male, shorter and stronger in the female; the
femora, especially 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 tibie
are rugose rather than spined; the tarsi are short, with
the basal joint small.

Allied in general form to the preceding species. Ob-
scure brown, opake and rugose 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 antenne are very short and 16- or
17-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 metathorax is gradually
dilated to the front of the place of insertion of the hind
legs, where it is strongly angulated 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 are 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 are short,
the anterior femora curved at the base ; all the femora are
armed with small tubercular spines. The mesosternum is flat,
with a very fine raised central line, and a row of tubercles
on each side, outside of which the mesosternum is angu-
lated. The ventral segments of the abdomen are slightly
tricarinated 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 antennze and meeting in the
middle of the face between the eyes. The antenne 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 dise uneven, with
two tubercles near the middle. The meso- and metatho-
rax are of equal width throughout, and furnished with an
elevated ridge down the middle terminating in the anterior
margin of the mesothorax in two prominent tubercles ; the
dise 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 the 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 operculum
is but slightly developed, nearly flat, and extending only
to the middle of the eighth dorsal segment. The legs are
short, rather thick, and slightly rugose ; the basal joint of
the tarsi scarcely longer than the following 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 antenne 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 mesothorax 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 metathorax, which is also armed
with a pair of strong diverging spines in the middle of the
lateral margins. The abdomen is much narrower than the
metathorax, and is gradually narrowed from the base to the
sixth segment; each segment has two tubercles 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-truncate, 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 are very short. The legs are short and tuberculated ;
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 eyes; the crown is elevated behind and armed with
two pairs of erect obtuse spines. The antennee are short,
18-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 mesothorax 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 tubercles 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-
bercle 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 rugose 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

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 spinulose lobes upon the
different parts of the body are more elongated, terminating
in longer and more acute spines. The head is short, with
the face deflexed ; it is rugose, and armed with two strong
denticulated lobes on the crown, behind which are two
smaller spines. The antennz are long and slender, with
long jomts. 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 shorter than broad in the female, with
a pair of small triangular denticulated lobes in front (pro-
duced in the male into acute spines); the middle is cari-
nated, and the sides are dilated into triangular spinose
lobes. The abdomen is rugose, serrated along the edges,
narrower in the male, broad in the female: the first and
second segments in the male with a pair of spines, and the
fifth and sixth with two small denticulated lobes; in the
female all the six basal segments have a pair of denticu-
lated lobes, those on the second and third segments being
the smallest, and those on the fifth largest, subovate and
denticulated ; the three terminal segments are broadly di-
lated, the last joint erect in the male, terminating in two
small rounded lateral lobes in the female. The legs of the
male are longer and more slender than those of the female.
All the femora and tibiee are furnished with numerous
small obtuse tubercles, arranged in pairs on the femora.
The tarsi are short, with the basal joint scarcely larger than

the following joint. (The under side of the terminal seg-

ment had been devoured by dAnthreni in the only two speci-
mens which [ have seen.)

The head of the unique male in the National Collection
is small and armed with six erect spines arranged in pairs.
The antennz are long and slender, the labrum 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 deflexed 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 extremity, 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 are short, bent
upwards and dilated beneath, the seventh being armed with
a deflexed 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 have
two middle triangular foliaceous lobes on the inside, the
four hinder-femora being more strongly spined both along
the front and hind edge, and all the tibiee 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 the 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 antennee
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-
rax), 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 hind part of each of the abdominal segments is
dilated and deflexed ; the middle of the hind margin both
dorsally and ventrally armed with two spines. The three
terminal segments are widened, the last dilated at the sides,
margined behind, and subtruncate ; the three terminal ven-
tral segments are much swollen, extending to the extremity
of the eighth segment, which has the lateral margins emar-

spines between the base and the middle; the tarsi are very
slender, with the basal joint longer than all the rest united.

ral smaller ones near the hind margin. The antennee are
scarcely longer than the mesothorax, with the basal joint
large, oval and flattened. 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 metathorax; the
basal segments short, the fifth and following gradually nar-
rowed and rather longer ; the sides of each joint are 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 curved narrow
raised 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 acuminated ; beneath
it bears two small oval styles, the operculum extending
beneath the seventh, eighth, and base of the ninth joints.
The legs are rather short ; the femora with very small tuber-
cles on the fore edge ; the two hind femora dilated at the
base behind. The basal joint of all the tarsi is short. The
body beneath is similarly coloured, opake and carinated as
above. The male is small and narrow, with the sides of
the body parallel, the terminal segments of the body being
dilated and angulated beneath ; the head is armed with
tubercles instead of spines, and the hind legs are slightly
dilated at the base.

An immature specimen of a female measuring 164 lines
in length, differs only from the female above described in
having the abdominal segments wider and their emarginated
sides more deeply scalloped.

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 are elevated and laterally
obliquely porrected, the larger ones being rounded on their
anterior upper margin, the crown of the head is furnished
moreover with two spines; the basal joints of the antennze
are rugose (the terminal joints are broken off in the unique
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 are gradually dilated to the base of
the middle legs ; the anterior part bears a triangular rugose
space, armed with spines at the sides, and there is a central
longitudinal elevated line with two strong spines in the
centre. The metathorax is about half the length of the
mesothorax, considerably dilated at the sides in front 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 foliaceous and much larger in the fourth
and fifth segments, but gradually diminishes on the hind
segments. The abdomen is as wide as the mesothorax, but
narrowed at the base of the seventh segment. The oper-
culum extends beneath the whole of the seventh, eighth,

and ninth segments, not however extending beyond the
latter. The femora are irregularly foliaceo-dentate, both
along the fore and hind edges, and the tibize are irregu-
larly but widely serrated on the outer edge. The tarsi have
the basal joint slightly larger than the second joint.

This species, of which I have seen only a single female
individual, is entirely of a dull brown colour, slightly varied
with luteous ; it is finely rugose, with slender elevated lines
and minute granulations wide apart. The head is elon-
gated behind the eyes, with a dark mark down the centre
of the crown. The antenne are long and slender, the
basal jomt oval and depressed. The mesothorax is mode-
rately elongated and gradually widened, with a raised cen-
tral line extending also along the metathorax, which is
gradually wider than the mesothorax, and about three-fifths
of 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 subdepressed,
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 cari-
nated ; the seventh joint considerably longer than the pre-
ceding ; the eighth and ninth of equal length, each being
nearly equal to the sixth. The operculum is swollen at
its base; it extends a little beyond the extremity of the
abdomen, and is deeply emarginate at its tip. The legs
are slender; the fore femora with the upper edge dilated ;
the four posterior femora with several small rounded lobes
in pairs upon the upper edges of the thighs ; the tibize also
slightly and irregularly lobed ; the tarsi are short, with the
basal joint not longer than the three following united.

I do not consider it requisite to adopt M. Montrouzier’s

this group, because some of the species are not so strongly
spined as the type. The Karabidion australe which led
to the suggestion, has, in fact, the hind legs of the male
even more strongly, although less numerously, spined than

The figure of this fine insect given by Boisduval, as well
as the much better one published by Messrs. Audouin and
Brullé, represent the male. M. Serville, however, very
carefully describes the structure of both sexes, which differ
chiefly in the form of the abdominal segments (H. n. Orth.
p- 278).

The last-named author having the Phasma dilatatum of
Shaw in view, considered, that as that insect, although a
female, was provided with rudimental wings, it might, from
its large size, be supposed to be a fully developed female of
the present genus, and hence that the Lurycantha horrida
of Boisduval was most probably only a larva, which, being
a male insect, would from analogy ultimately acquire more
fully-developed wings than those of the female, Ph, dila-

tatum. Burmeister (Handb. d. Ent. ii. 570) also considered
Eur. horrida 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 have
the insects themselves all the appearance of maturity, but
the figure of the larva of the present species, given by De
Haan, as well as the analogy afforded by the new species
described below (of which several specimens in various
states of growth are 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 never
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 Heée-
ropteryx, cannot be adopted.

M. Montrouzier gives the following account of the habits
of this curious species :—‘‘ On le trouve dans les lieux om-

This fine species has the surface of the body glossy and
slightly irregular, with minute tubercles and unequal, small,
elevated spaces. The head is of moderate size, the hinder
part of the crown with four large erect spines. The an-
tennze are about 20-jointed, the basal joint of moderate
size, the terminal joints gradually longer and more slender.
The prothorax is considerably wider than the head, with a
deep transverse impression before the middle; the sides
are armed with strong teeth, of which there are also several
arranged in pairs on the dise. The mesothorax is nearly
square, but rather longer than wide, with two strong spines
near the fore end, the sides widely, and the dise more

sparingly spined. The metathorax is considerably dilated,
and strongly spined at the sides; the dise with a few small
spines and tubercles. The abdomen is elongate, subcylin-
dric in the male, with the segments of nearly equal size ;
the terminal one emarginate at the tip, with two oval styles ;
the basal segments in both sexes have a pair of tubercles
close to the hinder margin ; the abdomen of the female is
long and gradually attenuated from the base to the apex,
the eighth and ninth segments being carinated, and the
latter as long as the three preceding segments united; the
operculum is simple, and does not extend to the tip of the
ninth dorsal segment. The legs are rather short and
strong, nearly alike in both sexes; the femora thick, an-
gulated, and serrated on each edge; the tibise are strong,
and widely serrated on the inner edge. The prosternum
is very short ; the mesosternum separated into two parts
by a transverse impression, flat, glossy, simple, with a row
of six small spines on each side at the lower edge of the
deflexed flanks ; the metasternum is flat, glossy, having
four or five small spines on each side of the disc towards
the anterior angles; the abdominal segments in the male
are rather swollen, in the female simple and convex ; the
seventh segment with a longitudinal raised line down the

centre.

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 antennz ex-
tend to the extremity of the fore tarsi. The prothorax is some-
what larger than the head, the mesothorax twice the length
of the prothorax, and the metathorax about three-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 irre-
gular 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 meta-
sternum darker chestnut. The terminal segment of the
body is truncate in the male, with the outer angles pro-
duced, 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 seg-
ments in this sex are simple. The terminal segment of the
abdomen in the female is small, suboval, emarginate in the

middle.

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

hind femora in the female are but slightly thickened and
spined beneath.

A young specimen of the female in the British Museum

culum 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-
fectly developed organs of flight, either in both sexes or in
the males, the females being in the latter case either en-
tirely 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 Phy/lium, the
tegmina are 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 are arranged like the ribs of a fan; so that
this portion of the wing alone folds up, and is then covered
by the flattened costal area. In Phyllium, however, by a
singular modification, the wing-covers of the females, when
shut, are so large that they nearly cover the abdomen,—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 ordinary manner. Hence, as well as from the

sluggish habits of these insects, the inutility of a pair of |
membranous wings ; and we accordingly find them reduced |

to mere rudiments (except in one species described by De
Haan).

wings of large size and very delicate in structure, with the

The males, on the other hand, have the true

costal area itself quite membranous ; but yet the tegmina,
preserving the true family character, are 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-covers only appear in a very
rudimental state, as contrasted with others in which these

I

believe, however, that a careful examination of their struc-

organs, in the final state, are also merely rudimentary.

ture will sufficiently exhibit the difference between these
organs in the two different conditions of existence. In
Plate XXVII. fig. 4, I have represented the pupa of a
winged species, in which the rudimental wings extend as
far back as the hind 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
Phyllium is represented in Plate XX XI.

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 family, 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
described in the following pages, especially in the genera
Necroscia and Phasma, 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
to possess winged males. The study of such species as
Monandroptera inuncans, and the remarkable insect which
I have described under the name of Prostasis, 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 are 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-covers 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
character oceurring 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 family, than I am disposed to concede to this pecu-
liarity; these organs being sometimes scarcely capable of

being distinguished from small frontal tubercles, whilst in
other instances they are of large size. Species also which
are otherwise closely allied together, are either furnished
with, or want these organs. One instance also occurs, in
Ph. Cneius, 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.

This species is distinguished by its wide flattened form,
its granulated surface, and the pale longitudinal stripes on
the upper surface of its body. The head is armed with
small pointed tubercles, as well as the prothorax, on which
those next the median line are larger and arranged in pairs.
The antenne 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 tubercles ; beyond
the middle it is narrowed, but is again dilated at the place
of insertion of the middle legs. The metathorax 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 lateral darker lines and
marks; the three terminal segments are considerably nar-
rower than the rest ; the ninth is entire, and furnished at
the sides with a pair of small styles; the operculum ex-
tends beyond the ninth dorsal segment, appearing like an
extra joint from above. The legs are 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 tibia are 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 very slender, cylindrical, smooth, pale lu-
teous buff. The antennze are rather longer than the fore
femora. The mesothorax is marked with two very fine
black lines down each side. The tegmina are small, nar-
rowly ovate, pale luteous-coloured, areolated, with small
black dots enclosed in the areolee. The wings are minute,
steel-blue and glossy; the costal area greenish at the ex-

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 are long and
slender, the four hind ones finely serrated on the under
side of the femora.

The female is more robust 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 femora are more strongly serrated on
the under edge.

This species agrees so entirely in all respects, size in-

cluded, with the females of Bacillus Peristhenes, that I
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 finely
granulated, and furnished at its hinder extremity with a
pair of minute oval tegmina. The metathorax is also fur-
nished with two minute rudimental wings, extending a very

and the tip, with two to four minute spines ; the tibiee are
slender and simple. The operculum is small, scarcely ex-
tending beyond the middle of the eighth dorsal segment.
The antenne and two fore legs are wanting in the single

female specimen which I have examined.

Long and slender; the male very slender and filiform,
entirely of an obscure red-brown colour, with the surface of
the body smooth, except the upper surface of the meso-
thorax and base of the metathorax, which are densely
covered with very minute granules. The head is of mode-
rate size and unarmed. The metanotum of the male is
simple; but that of the female is furnished with two
minute, free, moveable, oval, reticulated scales, resembling
rudimental tegmina. The abdomen is long and simple;
the terminal segments in the male are short, forming an
oval mass, the last terminated by two small lobes exposing
the short caudal styles.

rounded, with the short anal styles visible at the sides ;
the extremity is slightly emarginate, exposing a minute ter-

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 operculum, 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
setose on the under side.

Considering the possession of a pair of wings in the
males and the absence of alary organs in the females as the
leading character of this group, we find several distinct
types of structure among the males as well as amongst the
much fewer females with which we are acquainted. The
males of Phibalosoma serratipes and Hypharpaz, for in-
stance, have the terminal dorsal segment of the body

elongated, pointed, and bifid at the tip; whereas in the
Australian Ph. Caprella, the Manilla Ph. longicorne, and
the New World species allied to Ph. gracile, it is of the usual
shape, and in the Brazilian Ph. Le Peletierii it is greatly
elongated : on the other hand, the females of Ph. Pytho-
nius have the oviduct twice the length of the three terminal
segments of the body, and in Ph. Le Peletierii, fem., it ex-
tends a short distance beyond the extremity of the abdo-
men; whilst in Ph. Acanthopus, fem., 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
appear 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 Neeroscia, and it is not improbable that it will
be found necessary to remove them to that genus or to
Phasma, 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
Cladowerus (Cl. serratipes, gracilis, &c.), I have preferred
retaining the generic name given by Mr. G. R. Gray to the
male of the Brazilian species (Ph. Le Peletierit). 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 Cladowerus.

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 Bur-
meister and Charpentier. I have the greater pleasure in
doing this, as commemorative of the name of my late friend
the Count Le Peletier de Saint Fargeau, one of the most
ardent and laborious of entomologists.

The elongated operculum of the male, with the remark-
able arrangement of the chief veins of the costal area, are
characters which I have not observed in any other species
of the family.

Having obtained a specimen of this fine insect for the
Hopeian Museum through the kindness of M. Westermann
during my visit to Copenhagen in the summer of 1858, I
am induced, from its analogy 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 58, to distinguish it from
every other known species of the family.

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 I have only seen a single specimen,
quite recently sent home by Mr. Macgillivray, is very long,
slender, and cylindrical. The head is destitute of ocelli. The
mesothorax long, and slightly dilated at the insertion of the
fore legs. It is luteous, with a greenish tinge; the two
rows of dorsal spines are much stronger than in the females,
and black ; there are also two rows of minute spines on
each side, and two still smaller along the prosternum. The
metathorax has a row of very small points along the flank,
with a deep double impression near the hind extremity of the

small. The tegmina small and truncate, greenish, with the
lateral margin yellow. The wings are large; the costal
area pale luteous buff, greenish at the base, with a yellow
line, the hind part with a row of small brown dots ; the
principal vein is fureate 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 femora rather
strongly serrated.

The female has the head small, oval, convex, and desti-
tute of spines or tubercles, with a small transverse impres-
sion between the eyes. The antennz are long and slender,
and consist of about twenty-nine or thirty joints, gradually
becoming very long after the eighth joint. The prothorax 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 sides, where it is slightly punctured; the con-
necting lateral membrane with a row of small black spines.

The only known male of this species is a mutilated in-

dividual, which I have examined and sketched, from the
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 trilobed, and the
operculum is boat-shaped, and extends nearly to the extre-
mity of the last dorsal segment. The anal styles are very
minute.

The type of this species is preserved in the British
Museum Collection. A male specimen, three-fourths of an
inch shorter, was captured by Mr. Wallace in Borneo.

The body is extremely slender ; the abdominal segments
are slightly dilated at each end ; the seventh is much dilated
and conical, the eighth shorter and obeonic, the ninth nearly
as long as the two preceding united, slender and bifid, with
the base swollen above ; the anal styles deflexed, and arising

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 head rather
large, oval, and subdepressed, nearly smooth, with a pale
patch in front, and another on each side behind the antenne
pale yellow. The antennz have the extremity broken off
at about 11 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 are 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 filiform; the seventh dorsal seg-
ment gradually widened, the eighth gradually narrowed,
the ninth elongated and deeply bifid, the two divisions
gaping considerably and denticulated on 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 tibiee 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 unique male of this species in the Hopeian Collec-
tion is considerably more slender than that of Ph. Py-
thonius, with longer legs, the head larger and flatter,
and the mesothorax unarmed. It is also closely allied to
Ph. Hypharpax, but has the wings and mesothorax con-
siderably longer, and the terminal abdominal segments dif-
ferently constructed. The head is oblong, wider than the
prothorax, flattened above, the posterior angles rounded,
and the hind margin suddenly deflexed ; between the eyes
in front is a short transverse curved impression. The eyes
are large and prominent. The antennz moderately long,
with about twenty-four joints, the middle ones long. The
mesothorax long, very slender, and simple. The tegmina
are elongate-ovate, constricted before the middle, with the
median carina elevated into a strong obtuse conical lobe.
The wings are long and narrow; they are hyaline, slightly
tinged with brunneous, with dark brown longitudinal veins;
the costal area darker, especially towards the anterior mar-
gin, the margin itself towards the base with a luteous
stripe; the transverse veins are very distinct, and the me-
dian one simple. The abdomen is long, slender, and
simple; the seventh joint two-thirds of the length of the
sixth, and gradually widened; the eighth gradually nar-
rowed ; the ninth more attenuated, compressed, longitudi-
nally cleft; the apex truncate, the two divisions spinulose

Female apterous.

Female broad, depressed.

Burmeister, in his Revision of the Order in Germar’s
‘ Zeitschrift’ (ii. p. 41), and De Haan (p. 131), have re-
ferred this genus to Cladowerus, Serv. (Phibalosoma, supr.),
evidently, however, without having had an opportunity of
seeing the insects in nature ; the former, at least, had failed
to recognize the species, as I found the male in the Berlin
Museum, described by him under the name of Cyphocrania
acanthomera ; thus proving, in effect, its generic distinction
from Cladoxerus, and its much closer affinity to Cypho-
crania.

The fine female insect figured by me in the ‘ Arcana En-
tomologica,’ pl. 49, is so closely allied to the female of M.
imuncans, that I do not hesitate to reter it to the genus,
although it possesses extremely minute rudimental teg-
mina; as is also the case with the insect in the Berlin Mu-
seum from the coast of Africa, 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-
cana,’ i. pl. 61 (D. gibbosa, 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 luteous colour, with the abdomen
glossy. The head is rather longer than wide, rugose above,
especially behind, with large eyes. The antenne are short,
about 20-jointed; the basal joint broad and flat. The
prothorax is rugose, and armed in front with two short
spines ; two larger spines also arm the middle 6f the front
margin of the mesonotum, which is covered with minute
whitish granules, as is also the mesosternum. The teg-
mina are small, oval, and with the middle of the carina mo-
derately elevated, the dise of the tegmina within the carina
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 fureate near the base. All

the legs are finely serrated, with the four posterior femora |

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 antenne are still shorter than those of the male, with
the basal joint more dilated. The pro- and mesothorax are
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 coxee. The abdomen is cylindrical and ru-
gose ; the anterior seements 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 fureate, and the last joint is spinose above; the whole
under-surface is armed with small spines. The operculum
is swollen at its base, and extends to the extremity of the
body. The legs are short and rugose; the spines larger
than those of the males. The tarsi are very short, with
the basal joint not longer than the two following joints.

actions,’ as well as the capture of both sexes of another
closely allied species in Borneo by Mr. Wallace, have proved
that Serville’s speculations as to Parkinson’s insect being
a female of the genus Lurycantha, of which males only,
supposed to be in an immature state (ultimately to become
winged), had been described, are entirely groundless, and
lead us to conclude, without doubt, that the male of H.
dilatata will be found to possess short tegmina and wings.

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 hind part with eight
strong spines, arranged in two rows; the anterior lateral
angles of the prothorax 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 spinelets near the hind margin. The upper surface
of the mesothorax 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-
liquely on each side from the fore angles to the base of the
tegmina bearing a row of minute spines, and the extreme

lateral margin bears 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 metathorax 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 narrowed to the fifth segment,
the edges spined as well as the upper surface, a pair of
spines in the middle of the dise of each being the largest.
The female has the abdomen broad, subdepressed, nar-
rowed from the fifth segment, the lateral margins finely
spined, 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-

being more 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 tibize very strong and curved. The mesoster-
num is armed with three small spines on each side, and the

Body more or less spined; that of the male long and

Legs strong and angulated. Ovipositor of the female boat-

Natives of tropical parts of the New World.

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 gigas, 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 larvae, are pre-
served in the British and Hopeian 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 Aplopus mi-
cropterus. Itseems to me to be most probable that the
Plesiophyllum Havaniense of MacLeay’s MSS. (Phasma
H., ante, p. 34, Plate XXII. fig. 7) may be the full-grown
female of Pl. venustula, 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 Haplopus.

This species is very closely allied to H. Hvadne, 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 antenne are very long,
rather thick, composed of about sixty short joints. The
prothorax is armed with two small spines near its anterior
margin, ‘The mesothorax is slender and cylindrical, armed
with six or seven spines placed in two rows irregularly. The

tegmina are 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 mesosternum 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, slender 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 coxee of all the legs are fulvous,
the legs themselves green, moderately long and slender,
with the four posterior femora armed beneath with a few
small spines.

curious insect upon which he has founded this genus from
the preceding group, although it is certainly very closely
allied to such species as Haplopus micropterus (angulatus,
Burm.) and H. spinipes, G.R. Gray (Ph. angulata, Pal. B.);
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 will, I have
no doubt, be fully confirmed when the male shall be dis-
covered.

PHASMID.

Deceived by the locality of Australia given to this species
by Mr. G. R. 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 typical specimen in the Hopeian Col-
lection at Oxford has convinced me that it is identical with
its
locality attached to it; so that the locality of Australia

Mr. Hope’s specimen is also a male, and it has no
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 following is Mr. G. R. Gray’s description of this
species :—‘‘ Brunneus, cornubus inter oculos duobus longis,
compressis ; thorace rugoso; alis brunneis, margine supe-
riori nigrescentibus, basi nigris, nervis obscuris et albo ma-
culatis; tegminibus in medio paulum elevatis; pedibus
longis gracilibus simplicibus hirsutis.”’

The male is very slender, with a disproportionately long
abdomen, the hind legs not extending beyond its extremity,
and with a comparatively short mesothorax. It is ashy-
coloured, with the abdomen brown, and the legs obscurely
fasciated. The head and anterior parts of the thorax are
granulated ; the former with a large double setose horn,
The ocelli

are large ; the anterior placed in front of the frontal horns,

and the lateral ones at their sides. The antennze are up-
wards of 24 inches in length, finely setose ; they consist in
the British Museum specimen of thirty-eight joints, but
some at the tip are probably broken off ; the joints are elon-
gated, the base of each pale, and the apex darker. There is
a small spine on each side of the head between the eyes and
mandibles. The mesothorax is not longer than the head
and prothorax united ; it is slender and subeylindrical. 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-
breviated, the last not extending beyond the middle of the

between the base and the middle; the fore margin 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 femora with a small spine near the base |

beneath, and a little further removed from the base, above ;
all the tibiee 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.

Hab. In Malacea (D. 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 form a separate species. I
can, however, after more mature consideration, only regard
them as forming a local variety, in which the body is quite
smooth, the head broad, and the eyes large. The antenne
are long and slender, upwards of 70-jointed, the joints
beyond the middle becoming more and more indistinct,
except at intervals of four or five joints, which gives the
appearance of long compound joints. The head is pale
luteous, 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-
siderably varied with blackish, which colour leaves a pale
frontal hastate and two reniform 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, having two larger oval and several smaller
dark spots on each side of it. The legs are moderately
long and simple, luteous-coloured ; the femora and tibiz
with the extremity and a fascia across the middle black ;
the tarsi black, except the pale basal joint. The wings
are brown; the costal area pale green, with numerous

black spots and dots, leaving the veins green ; median vein
simple. The terminal segments of the abdomen of the
male are very much swollen both above and below, and the
anal styles are deflexed, broad, and emarginate at the ex-
tremity. 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-
tennze very long and slender, the legs annulated, especially
near the extremity of the femora, and the costa of the
wings obsenrely clouded. It agrees in size with the male
of A. affine, De Haan; but the wings are at least one-third
larger, and the last segment of the under side of the body
shorter. The body is

This species seems, at first sight, closely allied to Ph.
Vorstenii of De Haan; but the very peculiar shape of the

wings and the dilated anal styles of the male, together with |

the reticulated costal area of the wings of the male (not
noticed in this sex by De Haan, although he describes it in
the characters of the female of his Forstenii), the much

larger size of the insect, and smaller head, 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, stipuliform,
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 luteous, 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 incurved,
gradually widening to beyond the middle, and with the apex
obliquely truncate; the seventh ventral is distinct ; but
the eighth and ninth are 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-
stinguished by the minute spiniform tegmina. It is closely
allied to 4. Daunus, but has shorter legs and larger wings.

The accompanying figure is taken from a specimen from

Museum, except that the wings are slightly longer and
broader. The head is small, luteous brown, obscurely
marked with brown spots and lines. The antenne are
yather short and very slender ; the joints pale at the base,
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 long as it is broad; its sur-
face is slightly granulose, and varied with paler dots and
small dark spots in front and behind. The tegmina are
reduced to two 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 visible ; the costal area is luteous brown,
with numerous small, irregular, more or less distinct whitish
spots. The legs are short, setose, single ; the fore femora
thick, scarcely excavated at the base; the tibize 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, setose 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 black patch in the middle of the hind part, and with

(the tips are broken off in the only specimen I have seen).
The prothorax 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 mesothorax, as well as
the metathorax, 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 are short, the seventh bemg con-
stricted at the base. The operculum -is slightly boat-
shaped, and extends nearly to the extremity of the last
dorsal segment; the anal styles are deflexed and obtuse.
The tegmina are 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 are slightly curved at the base ; the femora are
all dirty pale luteous, with a dusky ring near the extremity ;
the tibize are also black at the tips, which are slightly di-
lated; the tarsi are also annulated with dusky, the basal
joint being about as long as the three following.

of which the wings are comparatively smaller than those
of the supposed male of Ase. Daunus ; they are, in fact,
more analogous to those of the female. It is rather longer
than the male of 4. favicorne, De Haan; but the uniform

This species was regarded by M. Serville as identical
with the P. Peleus of Mr.G. R. Gray. Having, however,
fortunately obtained in Paris the fragments of the three
typical specimens described by Serville, 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. pilosipes of De 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 costal area, sufficiently
distinguish it from De Haan’s species. It also approaches
A. affine of De Haan, but the shorter wings and swollen
terminal segments of the abdomen of that species suffi-
ciently separate the two; the latter character also, as well
as the simple anal styles and larger size, distinguishes P.
Daunus from Serville’s insect, although they agree in the
dissimilar size of the wings in the opposite sexes.

The Servillean 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 are short, but very broad and deflexed,
with the extremity emarginate-truncate. Serville describes
the legs generally as very pubescent; but I can only dis-
cover this character in one pair of legs, and suppose them

to be the posterior.

According to information given by Mr. Nightingale to
the Entomological Society of London (July 6, 1835), this
species of Phasmide is one of the most injurious insects
inhabiting the Bara Tonga 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 are also given
in Williams’s ‘ Missionary Enterprise in the South Seas,’
p- 495.

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 antennz are long and very
slender ; the basal joint flattened above ; they are uniform
brown. The mesothorax is very long and subcylindrical,
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

to the hind margin; the costal area is brown, with grey
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 of 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 furcate. The legs
are long, slender, and compressed ; the four posterior
femora 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, navicular, 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
of the wings more strongly marked with rounded luteous
spots, and the hind portion of the wings pale fulvous with
dark veins.

The accompanying figures are taken from the two typical

The head is furnished with two pairs of tubercles close to
the hind margin. The ocelli are large in both sexes. The
antennze of the male are setose, with the joints long, the
basal joint narrow (the extremity is broken off). 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 spines on each side, running from the anterior lateral
angles to the base of the tegmina, and the extreme lateral
margins are also spined. The tegmina in both sexes are oval,

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

The simple structure of the abdominal segments of the
unique male of this species, preserved in the Hopeian
Museum, separates it from the genuine species of Prisopus,
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-
visionally in that of Yeroderus.

The female only of the unique species of this Brazilian
type of form is known, and is contained in the National

male of Prisopus spinicollis is without foundation, the sim-
ple structure of the legs being of itself sufficient to prove

the wide separation of the two groups.

I have followed De 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
not been able to find any specimen in the Paris Collections,
but which seems very closely allied to Phasma spinosum of
Fabricius = Ph. corniceps, G. R. 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 Serville’s type.

This species is very closely allied to Ph. Diacis, De

Haan, but differs in the uniform size of the spines of the |
head, the shorter mesothorax, 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 hind part of the |
head, and a small round black spot on each side behind |
the eyes.

The antennz are rather short, dark brown, with
The prothorax is finely
granulose, as is also the mesothorax, which is gradually |
widened behind, and armed with a few very small spines in

its anterior half. The tegmina are 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

Having carefully examined and drawn the original typi-
cal individual of this species, described by Mr. G. R. Gray,
and having also before me Serville’s types of his two

species, C. versifasciata and C. versirubra, in the Hopeian
Collection, I am able to refer the two latter to C. Goliath.
The type of C. versifasciata is a smaller female, and |

has lost all its distinctive colours, probably from having |
been originally preserved in spirits of wine. I have also

recently obtained a remarkably beautiful specimen of the

female from Moreton Bay, of which the following are the

In this specimen the mesothorax is nearly smooth; the

tinged with green; the prothorax has a broad brown fascia

on each side; the abdomen is dark fulvous brown, with
the extremity and the operculum dark green.

The Acrophylla Typheus of Gray, which De Haan
gives as the male of Cyphocrania Goliath, is the male of
Tropidoderus Childrenii.

De Haan considers that the insect figured by Palisot de

ovipositor mutilated. Being unable to verify this suppo-

doubt, however, but that it is an African insect, of the
female sex, and that it is, in fact, the female of Palophus
Haworthii, ante, p. 90. The armature of the legs, the
quadrinodose mesothorax, the bilobed fourth and fifth seg-
ments of the abdomen, and the emargination of the terminal
segment, observable in Lichtenstein’s figure, are all found
im the Berlin and Leyden specimens of the female, which
is Burmeister’s Haplopus ceratophyllus. It is indeed not

This fine species is nearly the size of Ph. reticulata of
Palisot de Beauvois; but the wings and wing-covers are
searcely more than half the size of those of that species.
The entire insect is of an obscure luteous ashy or pale buff-
brown colour, the surface having a great number of mi-
nute black granules. The head is oval, with two larger com-
pound tubercles between the eyes, and with small tubercles
on the back part of the head arranged on each side in
three longitudinal rows. The antenne are shorter than
the mesothorax, 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 regularly. The

metathorax has the posterior portion greatly elongated.
The abdomen is very long, 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 very short, the ninth truncated at its extremity ; the
seventh ventral segment is but little swollen, and extends
to one-third of the length of the ninth dorsal segment ; its
extremity is emarginate ; the two anal styles are short and
| 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 are 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 tibize have two lobes before and beyond the middle on

the outer edge, and a small one on the inner edge towards

the base; the tarsi are simple. The legs are slightly

banded with dark brown. <A specimen in the British

Museum has the fore and middle legs on the right-hand

side imperfectly developed. :

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. The metatho-
rax 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 are oval, and rather
longer than the metathorax, and about half the length of

the wings ; the latter have the costal area pale dirty yellow

(probably green whilst alive), with a large oblong brown
patch near the base; the hinder portion is ornamented
with macular fasciz of brown, darkest towards the base.
The fore legs are long and simple, as are also the middle
pair ; the hind pair are thickened, the femora strongly
spined, and the inner edge of the tibiae with about six short
strong incurved spines; the sides of the metasternum and

the posterior coxze are also spined.

simple, and subeonvex ; the segments gradually narrowed
to the extremity and margined at the sides, the 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 con-

This species is closely allied to Pl. Alpheus, but is at
once distinguished by the relative size of the wing-covers
and wings, more slender abdomen, smooth mesothorax, and
denticulated femora. The head is obovate and convex, very
smooth ; it is produced into a prominent angle in front of
each eye, behind each of which is also a slightly curved
longitudinal impressed line. The antennz are rather longer
than the pro- and mesothorax ; the first jot 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 meso-
thorax is smooth and oblong, with a slender raised line
running along each side to the base of the wing-covers,
this lme 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 are

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 tegmina are oval, 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 luteous 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 luteo-fulvous,
with the longitudinal veins -fulvous, the transverse ones
nearly colourless. The legs are 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 Hopeian Collec-
tion are preserved a male and female, received from Mr.
MacLeay as distinct, under the name of Diura Saturnus ;
the female agreeing with Gray’s figure in the size of the
wings and tegmina, but with the legs and anal styles more
elongated, the latter being 13 lines long, the entire insect
being 8 inches long. Other female specimens, of much
smaller size, varying from 5 to 6 inches long, have the
wings scarcely so long as the tegmina. In these also there
is considerable difference in the length of the anal styles.
Another specimen, about 83 inches long (including the

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 antennze
are long and slender; the joints are very long, and each
alternate joint has its base marked with a broad whitish
ring ; beyond the middle each joint is composed of a great
number of minute articulations.
the anterior angles being truncated and _spiraculiferous.

The prothorax is oval,

The mesonotum is scarcely longer than the prothorax, finely
rugose, and with two oblique rows of small tubercles 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 are 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 are brown; the costal area 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 deflexed and ovate. The legs are long and
slender, destitute of spines; the basal joint of the tarsi is

This species is well distinguished by its short and bi-
spinose mesothorax, and by the peculiar markings of the
costal 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 tubercle; the three
ocelli are very large. The antennz 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 longer
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 tegmina are larger than the mesothorax ; the central
carina is very strongly elevated and rounded, the apex is
obliquely truncated, and the disk strongly reticulated with
the fine pale veinlets. The wings are large ; the costal area
pale olivaceous green, with numerous irregular-sized broad
brown waved spots ; the chief vein is furcate near the base ;
the hinder area smoky coloured, with darker longitudinal
veins. The abdomen is dark brown ; the terminal segments
short, and conical at the tip ; the oviduct small, but reach-
ing to the extremity of the abdomen ; the two anal styles

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 lu-
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 antennz are reddish brown, the tips
of the joints darker, basal joint yellow. The pro- and me-
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 are elongate-
ovate ; the carina scarcely elevated in the middle ; the inner
margin, and a patch extending from it to the middle of the
carina, of a purplish-brown colour. The wings are large and
white, the longitudinal veins slightly fulyous; the costal
area has its anterior half grass-green, the posterior half
yellowish, with irregular purplish-brown patches ; the me-
dian vein is fureate. The legs are short and simple ; they
are greenish-luteous coloured, with the tips of the femora

| and tibize dusky. The abdomen is Jong, and of a luteous-

brown colour; the three terminal joints are rather short,
and gradually attenuated, with the anal styles porrected
and obtuse: the operculum is not at all prominent, and
scarcely extends beyond the extremity of the seventh dorsal
segment; 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 subquadrate, 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 antenne are nearly as long as the body, with
pale annuli; the mesothorax is short, as well as the meta-
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 vein fureate, hinder portion of wings
slightly tinged with brown. Abdomen long, slender, dark
brown, slightly glossy, rather clavate at the tip; apical
dorsal segment with a small notch in the middle of the hind
margin; anal styles short and rather thick ; terminal ven-
tral segments scarcely swollen, extending rather beyond the

base of the ninth dorsal segment.

I have but little hesitation in considering the insect re-
presented in Plate XIII. fig. 3, as the male of Stoll’s Ph.
ambigua, although it differs slightly in several respects
from Serville’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 antennze of the male are very long 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 antennz 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 are dis-
cernible in the male; the posterior area is of a dirty buffish
white, with buff ves. The legs are dirty brownish green,
with the femora and tibiz darker at the tips; the ante-
rior and middle tibize are also slightly marked with paler
aunuli.

in both sexes. The tegmina are oval, and have a large
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
with a short spine in the middle of its posterior margin ;
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 antenne, 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 depression, within which the
ocelli are placed; the two posterior ones on raised pale-
coloured tubercles, giving the appearance of a pair of greatly
enlarged ocelli. In the female the ocelli are small and less
conspicuous. The antennz are slender, about 50-jointed,
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 are finely
but rather distantly granulose. The tegmina are small, oval,
with the veins strongly marked, and with a moderately ele-

vated tubercle 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 luteo-greyish, 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 ones, 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,—the plate analogous to the
oviduct 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.

Obs. One of the specimens of the male, received with the

| rest from Mr. Bates, is destitute of ocelli (fig. 2d).

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 mesothorax, scarcely more
than a quarter of the length of the metathorax, its straight
anterior femora, large subglobose head, large wings, &c.
The head is large and fulvous red, with three ocelli in a
triangle between the eyes. The antennz 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 are circularly incised. The meso-
thorax is very short, gradually raised and widened behind.
The tegmina are pale reddish brown, with minute dots of
black in the reticulated spaces. The wings are large and
bright orange-coloured, 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 veinis fureate 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, exserted ; operculum moderately
swollen, extending to the extremity of the abdomen. Legs
moderately long, slender, and simple; femora blackish ;
tibize 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-

eyes prominent ; the middle of the head rather rugose, and
with two rows of granules extending towards the hind mar-
gin. The antennz are very long and slender, brown, with

brown, with numerous darker small patches and spots,
especially towards the dise of the wing; the chief vein is

This species approaches Ph. brevipenne, Burm.; but
that species is described as possessing ocelli, 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 subeylindrical, 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 head with two
small spines on each side. The antennz reach to the middle
of the metathorax ; they are 20-jointed, the joints 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 strigze
between the transverse veinlets. 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 angulated. The legs
are rather short; the anterior femora 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 antennee. The head is rounded, convex, entire,
with three very minute ocelli; the eyes very prominent.
Antenne long, slender, and multiarticulate, every fifth or
sixth joint being separated more distinctly from the follow-
ing than the others, making, at first sight, the antennze
appear as if composed of long joints each reducible into
several subarticulations. The prothorax is subconical ; the
anterior lateral angles semicircularly truncate ; the hind
margin with a broad black transverse fascia. The meso-
thorax is short, broad, subconical, and simple. The teg-
mina are small, subovate, emarginate on the hinder margin,
the reticulations pale-coloured ; the central carina but little
elevated. The wings are very wide; the costal area dark
brown, with very numerous transverse parallel luteous
veinlets ; the main vein furcate near the base, the two divi-
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 tibiz.

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 are 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 antennze are about two-thirds

_ of the entire length of the body ; they are 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-
fluent, except at the tips, in the only specimen which I have
seen); the dise of the remainder of the mesothorax is
armed with a few much smaller spines. The tegmina are
small and subquadrate, with a strongly raised obtuse tu-
bercle 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 and 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 swollen, the last emarginate at the

tip; the two terminal ventral segments are swollen, the

| last not extending beyond the extremity of the eighth

dorsal segment.

|

The fore legs are wanting in the speci-
men drawn ; the four posterior are rather short and simple,
obscurely coloured, with the tips of the femora and tibiz
darker; the basal joint of the tarsi is not more than half
the whole length of the latter.

segment. The legs are slender and short, resulting chiefly
from the shortness of the tibizw, which are not so long as
the femora ; the hind femora 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.

sothorax, with its recurved spines. The head is rather
flat and simple ; the three ocelli are very minute, but
distinct. The antennz are very long (at least 4 inches)
and slender. The prothorax is the same size as the head.
The mesothorax is about 2} times the length of the pro-
thorax ; it is rather narrower than the prothorax in front ;
its dise is rather flat, 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 are short and obtuse. The teg-
mina are short, broad, and subtruncate at the extremity.
The wings are large ; the anterior area pale dull green, the
median yein fureate ; 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 mesosternum, which has two rows of deflexed
spines.

The pupa is smaller (31 inches long), with the meso-
thorax similarly spined ; the rudimental tegmina are very
minute (about one line long), oval, and the rudimental
wings are subovate, 54 lines long, touching each other along
the inner margin in the middle of the back.

This species, of which I have only seen a single speci-
men of the male, approaches N. Asalus, of which it might
at first be supposed to be the opposite sex ; the armature of
the head 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 eye is armed with two small spines, and the hind part
of the crown of the head is raised into a rugose tubercle
armed in front with minute spines. The mesothorax is
rather short and subrugose. The tegmina are nearly square,
with the costa elevated into a strong crest, rounded in front.
The wings are large and pale, with the costal area darker
and clouded. The abdomen is elongated, as wide as the
mesothorax ; the fourth, 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 subquadrate, 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 are
short, obtuse, and not exposed ; the three terminal ventral
segments are short, only extending to the base of the ninth
dorsal segment ; they are moderately swollen, the eighth
being very short and transverse. The legs are rather short
and robust ; the four posterior femora 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 ocelli, and is of a luteous colour ; the crown
is rugose and armed with minute spines, as is also the pro-
thorax. The antennz extend to the middle of the meta-
thorax ; they are luteous, with the tips of the alternate
joints black. The mesothorax is robust and rugose, being
covered with numerous spinulose granules. The tegmina
are subquadrate, with the carina strongly elevated into an
oblong lobe; they are luteous buff, with the base, outer
margin, and tips blackish. The wings are pale, and slightly
tinged with rosy brown ; the costal area is blackish in front,
luteous behind, the base pale luteous with a black patch.
The abdomen is more slender than the metathorax, gra-
dually thickened to the fifth and sixth segments ; the three
terminal short and attenuated, the eighth being very short ;
the anal styles are short and obtuse, and the operculum is
not quite the length of the abdomen. The fore legs are
wanting in the unique female in the National Collection ;
the four posterior are short and simple, with the tips of
the tibiz black ; the basal joint of the tarsi is not longer

This plain-looking species is nearly allied to N. Stpylus,
but has the mesothorax longer, the median vein of the costal
area of the wings fureate, the base of this part sanguineous,
the legs and antennz much shorter, the abdomen longer,
with the anal styles shorter. The head is rather longer
than wide, moderately convex; the hind part divided by
several slight longitudinal impressions. The antennee very
slender, about 25-jointed, each joint (beyond the tenth)
formed of about fiye or six minute articulations, the last
being rather thicker than the rest and darker coloured.
The pro- and mesothorax are finely granulated ; the latter
is considerably elongated. The tegmina are small and

ovate; the central carina moderately elevated before the

middle. The wings are large, smoky-coloured, with darker |

veins; the costal area darker, obscure brown, slightly cloud-
ed, with the base dark flesh-coloured, the main vein fureate
at a considerable distance from the base. The abdomen is
long and cylindrical; the terminal segments short and
conical ; the anal styles short, obtuse, and porreeted ; the
oviduct small, and extending to about half the length of

Hab. Ceram (Dom Pfeiffer). B.M.

This male species, of which I have seen but a single in-
dividual (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 mesothorax,
which is very finely 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, ex-
tending also through the pronotum ; the mesonotum having
a fine central carina. The antenne are long and very
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 tubercle towards the base.
The wings are large and somewhat hyaline, slightly stamed
with brown, with pale brown veins; the costal area 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 slightly dilated, the last quadrate, with the extre-
mity truncate and much deflexed ; the three terminal ven-
tral segments extend to the extremity of the body, and are
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.

with the hind part of the mesothorax and the metathorax
dilated. The general colour of the head and thorax is ful-
vous or luteous, varied with dark brown markings. The
head is unarmed, and furnished with two small round
tubercles between the eyes, which appear to be developed
into ocelli in the male ; the hind part of the head is marked
with eight more or less distinct dark lines. The antennze
are very long and slender (one-fourth longer than the entire
insect in the male); the basal articulations are luteous; at
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 luteous granules. The tegmina
are subquadrate, with the carina moderately elevated in the
middle into a rounded lobe; they are black, with the
lateral margin and the fine reticulated veins green. The

Hab. Borneo. In Mus. D. Westermanni Havnie.

This handsome species is closely allied to NV. Marmessus,
Westw., but is at once distinguished by its more sombre
colours, reticulated wings, basal fascia of the tegmina, &c.
The female also bears a considerable resemblance in general
form to the female of that species, figured in Pl. XIX. fig. 1.
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 antennz very long

and slender, blackish, with three white annuli, the third

| being close to the tip. The pro- and mesothorax have the

upper surface finely granulated ; the latter is rather widened
in its hind part. The tegmina are rather broad, sub-
quadrate ; 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 entire 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-
pated appendages, setose, incurved, and thickened at the
tips. The terminal ventral segments are 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 73 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 V. Marmessus, but differs
in its colours and in the clavate anal styles. It is very
slender and cylindrical, greenish brown and opake. The
head wide, with very prominent eyes ; ocelli obsolete.
The antennz are 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,
angulated 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 costal 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-
ments are constricted at the base of each, the last extend-
ing to the end of the last dorsal segment. The legs are
long, very slender, and simple, and of luteo-fulvous colour.

This very slender species is well distinguished by its iri-
descent wings, and the white granules on the pro- and
mesothorax. The head is rather broad, unarmed; eyes
large; front of head dirty whitish, with the upper lip
tinged with green. The antenne are very long and slender,
dark brown, with three distant white annuli. The meso-
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 dise marked with a transverse whitish line. The
wings are brown, very transparent, and strongly iridescent ;
the costal 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 are
wanting ; the four hind legs are long, very slender, and
simple, brown; the tips of the femora 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 are much swollen, the last
not extending to the extremity of the eighth dorsal seg-
ment.

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-

head, which is very convex. The antennze have two short
pale rings beyond the middle. The mesonotum has a
slender raised longitudinal line down the middle, and the
dise exhibits a number of minute pale granules. The cen-
tral carina of the tegmina 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-

The pale-ringed antenne and the elegant contrast of the
two portions of the beautifully tinted wings distinguish
this species. The general colour is dull luteous, tinged
with green on the thorax, and with fulvous on the abdo-
men, which is glossy. The head is broad, with the eyes
very prominent, convex above, fine green, with a large yel-
low rounded spot between the eyes. The antennz are very
long and slender, blackish, with about five whitish annuli.
The metathorax is finely granulated. The tegmina 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 costal area green, yellower at the base, with the veins
The
abdomen is long and slender; the terminal segments con-

siderably swollen; the ninth dorsal segment with an acute

darker green, the principal vein not being furcate.

edge ; the anal styles obtuse, incurved, and forcipated. The
legs are long, slender, unarmed, testaceous-coloured ; the
basal joint of the tarsi as long as all the remaining 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 tegmina 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 head
is spotless, in others it has a large rich fulvous-yellow round
spot between the eyes. In some specimens of both sexes
the spots of the tegmina are transverse, oblique, and whitish;
in others fulvous yellow ; whilst in some the spots are round
and fulvous yellow. I at first considered the specimens
with rounded spots on the tegmina as a distinct species, to
which I gave the name of Ph. Hurybates, which they may

retain, if ultimately proved to be a distinct species.

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. R. Gray from his Collection, which is a
male. A female in the Leyden Museum is ticketed ‘‘ Nova
Hollandia?’’? Mr. Wallace has sent it from Malacca. It is
a very slender species. The head has a black line on each
side behind the eye, 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 tibiee in the
female are annulated with black, and the tip of the basal
joint of the tarsi in the middle legs and the extremity of
the hind tibize are also dark-coloured.

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
are 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 costal area fulvous buff, rather darker at
the base in the female, and slightly clouded with darker
shades. The legs are 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-

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 swollen, 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 tubercles, except two
small conical tubercles on the mesonotum rather beyond the
middle. The head is considerably wider than the prothorax,
with the eyes very prominent ; the hind part of the crown is
somewhat conically elevated. The antennze 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 tegmina. 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 astrongly 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 weins greenish, the principal vein not being furcate.
The abdomen is long, filiform, smooth, and of a red co-
lour, knobbed at the extremity ; the three apical ventral
segments being considerably swollen, and extending nearly

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 tubercles. The head, pro- and
mesothorax, 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 head is larger than the prothorax, very convex, and
elevated at the hind margin, glossy, with the eyes very
prominent, and having a yellow longitudinal line on each
side behind the eye. The antenne 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 mesothorax is not half as long again as
the prothorax ; it is narrowed towards the base, which is
ornamented above with a yellow spot, and the hinder part
with a yellow line on each side. The tegmina are 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, subclavate,
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 are simple, slender, and of moderate length (the
hind ones wanting) ; the femora and tibize obscure on the
outside, dull reddish on the inside; the tibize dark at the

tips, and the tarsi pale buff.

on the hind part of the crown. The antenne are slender ;
but the tips in the unique female which I have seen are
broken off. The prothorax has its anterior lateral angles
truncated and incised; its slender hind margin is bright
scarlet. The mesothorax 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 dise gra-
nulose, and the anterior portion of the dilated part with
two large rounded tubercles. The tegmina are short, sub-
quadrate, brown, each with about six small black spots ;
the tubercle of the carina is very prominently elevated and
obtuse. The wings are very large, pale smoky-coloured, the
membranous portion very thickly 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 operculum extends nearly
to the extremity of the body; its tip is emarginate ; the
sixth ventral segment is entire along its hind margin. The
legs are short, rather robust, and unarmed ; the anterior
femora are straight, being in nowise emarginate at the base ;
the basal joint of the tarsi is about as long as the three
following joints united.

is of an obscure luteo-fulvous colour ; the mesothorax with
a green fascia in front ; the tegmina and costal area of the
wings marked with numerous small round greenish-black

head very convex ; eyes very prominent; antenne very
long and slender, brown, not annulated with white, the
base luteous; 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 bituberculated. The membrane connect-

This species is at once distinguished by its short bi-
tuberculated 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 antenne are short; the joints slender,
short, and very numerous ; they are dark brown, annulated
with buff, the annuli being near together towards the base.
The pronotum has the anterior lateral angles acute and
porrected, and the dise is furnished with a few acute gra-
nules. The mesothorax is not twice the length of the pro-
thorax ; itis widened behind, especially in the female, and
is furnished with numerous small tubercular spines, the disc
being armed with two elevated granulose tubercles a little

The tegmina 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 are large and brown, with the longitudinal veins
rather darker; the costal 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 are short

The female of this beautiful species is unique in the Col-
lection of Mr. Westermann 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 (Pl. 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. Antennze very slender, of moderate length,
and brown; hind part of head very convex, unarmed, the
fore part luteo-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 slender transverse sanguineous mem-

brane in front of each. The tegmina are broad, flat, with

the carina strongly raised towards the base, forming a large
obtuse lobe; the reticulation is indistinct. The wings are
large and brown, with very numerous, narrow, transverse,
irregular, white undulating fascize, most distinct towards
the anal margin; the apex of the wing and the portion of
membrane between the two areas white; costal area green,
with the base darker; the median vein furcate. The meta-
notum and abdomen are black ; the latter with wide lu-
teous fascize occupying the bases of the segments; the two
terminal segments are very convex ; the operculum scarcely
swollen, extending to about the middle of the ninth dorsal
segment ; The under
side of the body and legs are luteo-fuscous ; the latter are
setose and simple, short and slender, with the basal joint of
the tarsi short.

much shorter than in some of the subsequent genera ;
hence the name here proposed for the present 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 right
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 antenne are long, and slightly thickened
towards the base. The pro- and mesothorax are convex
and unarmed, the latter scarcely twice the length of the
former. The tegmina are oval, with the central carina well
defined 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 furcate. 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 last 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 dorsal segment,
the inner appendages forming two rows of flattened plates.

This species is well distinguished by the beautiful patch

which is immediately surrounded by a dark brown spot.
The head is oblong, flattened above, opake, slightly rugose,
and with the hinder part immediately in front of the pro-

thorax transversely elevated. The antennz of the male
are 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
several dusky lines, marked, especially on the head, with
minute tubercles. The prothorax and mesothorax are flat-
tened above and granulose, with the lateral angles acutely
deflexed. The tegmina are oval, about as long as the head,
pro- and mesothorax united ; they are dirty luteous-coloured,
with an ill-defined darker streak down the middle, the
central ridge being but slightly indicated. The wings are
large ; the costal 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 more slender, and generally of a paler luteous tint. The
fifth, sixth and seventh segments of the abdomen are gra-
dually widened ; the eighth short, 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-emarginate behind, ex-
posing the porrected anal styles ; the oviduct is very short,
searcely extending beyond the seventh dorsal segment, the
interior appendages forming a double series of flattened
plates.

to bea great resemblance between the two.

I am indebted to Mr. Curtis (in whose collection the
typical specimen described by Mr. G. R. Gray is still con-
tained) for an opportunity afforded to Mr. Haliday for
making a sketch of this species. The type is a male, of
which the extremity of the abdomen is mutilated. Having
also examined and drawn the typical specimens of Ph.
lichenale of Burmeister, in the Berlin Museum, I have
scarcely any doubt of their identity with Mr. Curtis’s in-
sect. The following are Burmeister’s characters of his Ph.

The male is very slender, with longer wings, legs, and
antenne than those of the female. The tegmina in the
latter are elongate-ovate, with the median carina rather
strongly elevated into a rounded tubercle near the middle ;
the costal area of the wings is much clouded, the markings
near the extremity being darker than those in the basal
half. The following are the dimensions of both sexes :—

The insects of this group are certainly very closely allied

by a very different facies and by the much greater length

Tam 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 Prisopi. 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 antennze are rather short, 23-jointed, the
third and three or four following joints very short, the re-
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 tegmina are oval, obscure light
brown; the outer half of the anterior margin pale green; the

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 is
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
emarginate, and the anal styles slightly produced ; the ter-
minal ventral segments are considerably swollen (the extre-
mity is injured). The legs are short ; the anterior femora
curved, rather wide, and slightly waved along the hinder
edge ; the anterior tibise short, gradually narrowed to the
tip, with a small hind lobe at the base; the four hind fe-
mora are short, thick, with three strong teeth on the under
edges, slightly angulated near the extremity of the upper
edge; the tibiee rather slender and slightly bilobed ; 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 be 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-
rax being finely granulose. The tegmina 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 veinlets, 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 flattened part bordered by
a semicircular row of about eight small conical points, the
two central ones being the largest. The antennze are thick
and hirsute (the tips broken off in the specimen before me).
The pronotum has two small 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 deflexed margins of the mesothorax
are sinuated. The tegmina are 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 subquadrate; 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.

Without any positive statement of the fact to rely upon,
I believe there can be no doubt that the Diura Typheus of
G. R. Gray (which De Haan, Orth. Orient. p. 128, has, as
it appears to me, improperly regarded as the male of Cypho-
crania Goliath) 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.
Fortnum brought from Adelaide specimens of the female
measuring 5} inches in the length of the body, with the
wings expanding fully 9 inches, and with the tegmina
broader than in the type figured by Mr. G. R. Gray. I
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 costal area of the
wings of a beautiful rose-colour ; the under surface also of
the whole of the costal area is of the same colour, with the
longitudinal veins pale yellow, and the tegmina 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 costal area half rosy and half pale
yellow.

Genus 37. PRISOPUS.

Prisopus, Serville, Enc. Méth. t. x.
Burmeister ; De Haan.
Prisopus et Platytelus, G. R. Gray.

Body of the male somewhat linear, of the female broad
and subdepressed ; terminal segments of the body gene-

styles moderately long. Head subquadrate and subde-
pressed ; ocelli wanting. Antenne long, pubescent, multi-
articulate. Prothorax and mesothorax of nearly equal
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
abdomen. Legs, especially the anterior and posterior pairs,
with dilated membranous sinuated lobes on the femora, the
margins of which are strongly ciliated; tibice dilated, the
anterior pair with two small membranous detached lobes
at the base ; basal joint of the tarsi of moderate length.

length.

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 Indiis,” given by Lichtenstein to Ph. Ofrt-
manni, be intended for India, appears to me very doubtful.
Two pupe are, however, figured by Stoll, 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 De Haan
to Ph. Horstokkii (which may possibly be doubtful), and
also possibly by that of the Isle de France given as the
country where the unique specimen of Pr. Marchal (Xe-
roderus? Marchali, ante, p. 103) was taken by M. Marchal
himself, who resided in that island.

Hitherto the characters 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 Yerosoma as the

males. The males of several species are 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 female figured by that author were incurved beneath
the body, as is often the case, and consequently not re-
presented in his figure, led Burmeister to consider Stoll’s
insect as forming a distinct section in the genus, and con-
sequently as distinct from the Brazilian insects which he
had before him. This circumstance he corrected in his
memoir in Germar’s Zeitschrift, where, however, he con-
siders his Prisopus spiniceps as identical with Stoll’s insect,
retaining Pr. spinicollis as distinct. I am unable to sepa-
rate the last-named species from Stoll’s figure, believing
that the want of a pair of spines on the pronotum in that
figure is an error of the artist. On the contrary, Bur-
meister’s short description of Prisopus spinicollis is as
follows :—

“‘Cinereo-viridis ; spinis verticis minoribus simplici serie ;
pronoto scabro, bispinato ; alarum area postica albida ;
venis transyersis nigris.—Long. corp. unc. 22.—Habitat in
Brasilia*.”

Burmeister’s description of Pr. spiniceps accords better
with Serville’s description of the insect, which the latter
regarded as the Pr. flabelliformis, but which seems to me
to differ from Stoll’s figure, judging as I do from a speci-
men evidently named by Serville himself, formerly in M.
Marchal’s collection, now preserved in the Hopeian Mu-
seum. This wants the two spines on the pronotum, which,
on the contrary, is granulated, as well as the mesonotum;

* The reference by Burmeister of this species to Xerosoma canali-

eulatum, and by De Haan to Platytelus horridus of G.R. Gray, cannot
be adopted.

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 long
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 Hopeian Collection, which agrees with Burmeister’s
characters, but which bears Serville’s label Pr. fiabelli-
Sormis, has the following proportions :—

The spines at the back of the head are not larger than
those in Pr. flabelliformis; the surface of the head is
nearly smooth ; the pronotum and mesonotum are distinctly
granulated ; the costal 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 fascice.

The general appearance of the unique female hitherto
known of this species, formerly in my Collection, is so
similar to that of Phasma Horstokkii of De Haan, 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 De Haan, that it is possibly identical with Pr.
spinicollis, 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 greyish-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 antennze are setose,
rather thick, with the fourth and following joints short, but
gradually lengthening; in the male they are 25-jointed.
The pro- and mesothorax are nearly of equal size and ap-
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 deflexed; the
fifth and following segments produced at their posterior
lateral angles into a rounded, setose, deflexed lobe ; the ter-
minal ventral segments in both sexes are flat, and the anal
styles are long and flattened. The metasternum is marked
on each side with a black spot, and the ventral segments of
the abdomen are fasciated with black. The tegmina are
about two-thirds of the length of the wings, brown or
ereyish, 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 tubercle. The wings are large,
opake whitish, 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

fore margin. The legs are broad and hairy, rather short,
especially in the female; the fore femora are strongly
arched, the outer edge scolloped ; the tibize with two lobes
at the base; the four hind femora and tibie are scolloped
along the lower margin, as also more slightly so on the fore
or upper margin.

This species is very closely allied to Pr. Berosus, but
differs in its generally longer and more slender structure
and smoother surface. The head is comparatively broader
and flattened, with two small tubercles behind the eyes, and
a row of six similar ones across the hind part of the head.
The antenne are 27-jointed. The pro- and mesonotum are
armed with a few small tubercles. The abdomen is elon-
gated, with the 6th, 7th and 8th segments produced on
each side into an elongated lobe rounded at the extremity
and deflexed ; the anal styles are of moderate length and
flattened. The tegmina and wings are coloured as in Pr,

with black.

These differences seem to me sufficient, in conjunction
with the locality of the specimen described above, to war-
rant its being considered as specifically distinct from Pr.
Berosus of Western North America.

This species is of a dull pale luteous colour, varied, espe-
cially on the legs, with brown shades. The head, pro- and
mesonotum are covered with numerous granules and small
conical tubercles ; the head is nearly square. The antennze
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 are also slightly lobed at the
extremity of each, and they are marked with longitudinal
posteriorly diverging carinze 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 are dull opake buff-coloured, varied
with irregular brownish fascize ; the costal area is pinkish

grey, brighter-coloured at the base, and varied with brown
markings; the main vein is fureate 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 tibize are slender and but slightly lobed, but the
four posterior tibize are lobed, especially on the upper edge,
and subserrated.

The female has the oviduct wide at the base and truncate
at the extremity, which does not extend beyond the eighth
dorsal segment ; it is flattened, and followed by a furcate
appendage, the divisions of which are obtuse; the anal
styles are minute and lateral.

I am indebted to M. Guérin-Méneville of Paris for a
knowledge of this remarkable species.

broad membranous lobes.

These insects recede so much further from the ordinary
type of the family than 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.

I have represented at the foot of Plate XXXI. several
specimens, illustrating the transformations of this genus.

As some confusion has arisen as to the real species de-
scribed by Linnzeus, I have thought it useful to copy his
original description from the ‘ Museum Ulricee Reginz’ :—

De Haan gives the following measurements of various
individuals, all of which are females. From the relative
length and width of some of the specimens, I should appre-
hend that the whole of them could scarcely be referable to
one species.

De Haan has added the following description of a pupa,
of which he has also given a figure (pl. 15. f. 7), which

PHASMID#.

Mr. G. R. Gray has considered as more probably that of
a different species (Ph. Geryon) :—

«‘Nympha maris antennis 3!" longis glabris crassis, latere
interiore planis, exteriore rotundatis, ex 24 articulis com-
positis ; alis usque ad marginem posteriorem articuli 1™
abdominis productis ; vagina convexa, apice rotundata ;
tibiis uti in characteribus specificis laudatis, femoribus an-
ticis parte interiore tantum lobatis.””

I cannot bring myself to think that Perry’s Mantis foli-
atus, on which Mr. G. R. Gray has founded his Ph. Gorgon,
is anything else than an ill-drawn figure of a female of PA.
siccifolium, rather increased beyond the true size, and with
the sides of the abdomen distorted and probably bent up-
wards. Résel’s figure, referred to by Linnzeus, 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 the Crochard edition of the
Régne Animal, Ins. pl. 79. f. 1 6, is a male pupa, with the
antennze of the intermediate size between that of the larva
and the perfect male.

Most of the specimens of the female whjch I have seen
are old ones, to which no precise locality is attached; but
in the Hopeian Collection there is one from 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

referred to ; but it is only 22 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

The dimensions of the female given above are taken from
the typical specimen described by De Haan, still in the
Museum at Leyden. In the Hopeian Museum is another
female, from Manilla, in which the wings are still larger,
reaching rather beyond the middle of the fifth segment of
the abdomen.

I feel satisfied, from an attentive examination of the de-

velopment of the tegmina and wings in the two sexes of |

this genus, that Donovan’s figure above referred to, not-
withstanding the minute size (probably inaccurate) of the
antennee, is intended for the pupa of a male insect, and
not that of a female, as suggested by Mr. G. R. Gray.
Without a more precise knowledge of its locality, it seems
searcely possible to identify it with the perfect insect, of
which it is in so immature a condition.

The Hopeian Museum possesses two of the supposed
males of this species: one from the Collection of M. Mar-
chal, named by Serville, with “Seychelles” indicated as the
habitat, in the handwriting of Latreille; and the other,
which I obtained from the Collection of Serville itself. I
can discover no difference between these two specimens and
the typical specimen of the male of Phy/lium bioculatum, as
represented from my drawing in Griffith's Animal Kingdom,
both exhibiting traces of the two spots on the inner mar-
gin of the fore femora, 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
male of Ph. bioculatum. The Hopeian Collection also
possesses several females of this species, also labelled from
the Seychelles and Kast Indies, from the Collections of Mar-
chal and Serville, which agree with the description given by

Serville.

The figures representing this species in Pl. XX XI. have

been drawn from a series of specimens preserved in spirits, |

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
Philosophical Journal,’ new series, January 1856; and the

Its proportions agree in all respects with those | 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
itself, to forbid its being shown on more than four days i
the week.

The operculum of the female extends about a line and a
half beyond the truncated extremity of the terminal dorsal
segment of the abdomen. The legs in this sex are mode-
rately long,—less so, however, than in the male, in which

they are very slender.

Deceived by the specimen from Chili, in the Jardin des

lopus of Gray was a distinct species. Having, however,
subsequently examined the type-specimens of B. spatulata,
described by Burmeister, in the Berlin Museum, I find the
female identical with the Hopeian insect described by Gray,

and doubtfully considered by Burmeister as identical there-
with. The name of the species will therefore stand—

The following isa detailed description of the female type,
contained in the Hopeian Collection :—

Body long and cylindrical, brownish green, rather shining;
meso- and metathorax and basal segments of the abdomen
finely granulated, especially the former. Head oblong,
simple. Antenne 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 larger tubercle in
the same situation, the eighth with the middle of its hind
margin raised into an obtuse conical point ; the operculum
The

fore legs are moderately long and simple ; the middle and

extending far beyond the extremity of the abdomen.

posterior are shorter and stronger; their femora with two
foliated lobes near the base on the under side, and two

posterior tibie have the apex triangularly dilated. The

similar ones on the upper side near the tips.

Berlin specimen of the female has the upper surface of the
body rather more strongly granulated, and the five basal
segments of the abdomen have the raised tubercle in the
middle of the hind margin. The following are the dimen-
sions of the Hopeian specimen of the female :—

Note.—I think it not improbable that the typical spe-

The unique specimen in the Jardin des Plantes is muti-

easily determined. I, however, believe it to be a female,
from its general agreement in the proportions of its parts
with that sex of B. phyllopoda.

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.

Specimens of this fine insect were collected by F. M.
Rayner, Esq., Surgeon R.N., of H.M.S. ‘ Herald’ (Capt.
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 ofa local variety of Ph. Pythonius, to which
it bears so strong a general resemblance.

Page 82.—Sp. 1. Heteropteryx dilatata.

A specimen of the female of this remarkable species has
recently been obtained by W. W. Saunders, Esq., from
Borneo, agreeing with the original figure, and of which the
following are the proportions :—

The wings, when closed, extend to the extremity of the
tegmina, which reach to the extremity of the second seg-
ment of the abdomen; the ninth segment is followed by a
supplemental joint, which is flat above, rather constricted
in the middle, terminated by a small narrowed part bifid
at its extremity ; the operculum is large and boat-shaped,
and extends to the extremity of this supplemental tenth
dorsal segment.

Page 122.—Sp. 17. Phasma Pholcus.

Mr. Bates has sent specimens of the female of this spe-
cies from Ega, which are rather larger than the males; the
fore tibiee with obscure transverse fasciz, and the costal

| area slightly clouded; the posterior area of a browner co-

lour, and not so grey as in the male.

A female of this species, collected at Sarawak, in Borneo,
by Mr. Wallace, is in the Collection of W. W. Saunders,
Esq., of the same size as the female described and figured
above, but with the head produced into two short spines at
the top of the crown, the antennze with four white rings

(the first at a distance of an inch from the base), and the
costal portion of the wings without any darker shades.

A specimen of the male, also from Sarawak, is contained
in the same Collection, rather larger than that described
and figured above,—the thorax not being quite so long, the
hind femora rather (1 line) shorter, the hind tibize of equal
length; the expansion of the wings 2 inches 11 lines; the
top of the head produced into two small points; and the
antennze with several not very distinct white rings.
