INSECTA ORTHOPTERA. 163 



wanting. (Gueriu remarks, in conclusion, that these three species belong to 

 Anisomorpha, Gray, but the observation is scarcely correct, since in the latter 

 the anterior femora are siuuate-emargiuated, though only slightly so.) 



Charpeutier (1. c.) has figured Ascepasma infumata, from Java, and Phasma 

 ornatum, Burin, (which is probably Ph. Tithonus, Gray), from Brazil. 



Westwood (Arcan. Eut. pi. 61) has exhibited two species of Diapherodes: 

 the one, D. (Cranidiuni) pumilio, supposed to be from Central Africa, is new, 

 and characterized by a comb on the dorsmn of the mesothorax. The other, 

 D. (Crctnidium) serricollis, Westw., locality unknown, is, on the contrary, the 

 true Cranidiitm g'Mosum, HofFgg., Diapherod. yilbos., Buna., from Para. 

 The insect formerly figured under this designation has now been named, by 

 the author, Diaph. (Craspedonia} v.ndulata. 



AcHETyE. The species of this family, described by De Haan (1. c.) are, 

 Gryllus brucliypterus,w^platyxiphus, from Java; Gr. (jEneoptera) hemeli/trus, 

 Hag., and concinnus, from Java; fasciatus, from Celebes and Java; and 

 cii/'-rcits, from New Guinea and Java; punctatus, from Java; Gr.scle ropier us 

 (new subgeuus, but which coincides with Trigonidiwm, Serv.) ; coriaceus, 

 Hag., from Java ; Gr. (Platydactylus) Nova- Guinea, from New Guinea, 

 Java; Gaimardii, from New Guinea and Banjermassing; mttatus, from 

 Padang ; quadrat us, from Java ; Gr. (Phalangopsif) marmoratus, from Japan ; 

 pilosus, from Borneo and Java ; microcepluilits, from Japan, Sumatra ; Bu- 

 quetii, from Java, Japan ; japonicits, from Japan ; Gr. (Mcantkus) aracilis, 

 from Celebes; Gr. (G lyllotalpa] longipeiniis, from Borneo; Gr. (Xya) japoni- 

 cus, from Japan. 



LOCTJSTABI.E. Westwood (Arcana Eut. pi. 63) has figured the fragment 

 of a very remarkable locust, preserved in the British Museum; it has in the 

 highest degree the aspect of a Phasma, to which it is considered by the au- 

 thor as an analogous form in this family. It is apterous, the head small, 

 projecting ; the prothorax long, the ovipositor long and straight ; the fore 

 legs long and without spines, the anterior tibiae " absque operculo." Antennae 

 and hinder legs are wanting. The Insect, named Phasmodes ranatriformis, is 

 from King George's Sound, in New Holland. The author has also given a 

 figure of Prochilm australis, Briill. 



Charpeutier (1. c., 8. fascic.) has figured of this family: Cojnophora 

 cornuta, Deg., from Brazil, Cayenne; Rhaphidophora palpata {Locust. p"l/i., 

 Sulz., Phalanffops amneiform., Burm.), from the South of Europe; Hetrodes 

 luni/lpes, new species, from Benguela (Lower Guinea) ; Polyancistrus semi- 

 lutits, Palis., Beauv., from St. Domingo. 



ACKIDII. A couple of Proscopia-forms have been figured by Westwood. 

 (Arcana Eut. pi. Go). One of them, named Proscopia occidi'i/fulix, from 

 Chili, is remarkable for its contracted form and the hump-like inflation 

 of the metanotum and it must certainly constitute a distinct genus, for 

 which I propose the name Hyl>ma. It differs from Proscopia, besides the
