to place it on an equal footing with many recognized genera of 



Phasmidse. 



Gratidia natalis (Westwood). 



1859. Bacillus Natalis Westwood, Cat. Orth. Ins. Brit. Mus., I, p. 6, PI. 

 XXIII, figs. 7 and 8. [Port Natal.] 



One female ; Zulu Mission, South Africa. [A. N. S. Phila.] 

 This specimen is from alcohol, and in consequence badly shriveled 

 and distorted. 



Gratidia inclinata Karsoh. 



1898. [Gratidia] inclinata Karsch, Entom. Nachrich., XXIV, pp. 372, 375. 

 [Darema, Usambara, German East Africa.] 



Three males; Mombasa, British East Africa. [Coll. of Morgan 

 Hebard.] 



These specimens have been badly broken, but they appear to be 

 clearly referable to this species. 



Genus PARACLONARIA Sehulthess-Schindler. 



1893. Paraclonaria Brunner, Ann. Mus. Civ. Stor. Nat. Genova, XXXIII, 

 p. 89. [Name untenable, as no included species are cited.] 



1898. Paraclonaria Sehulthess-Schindler, Ann. Mus. Civ. Stor. Nat. Genova, 

 XXXIX, p. 182. 



Included P. longelaminata, affinis and hamuligera Schulthess, the 

 first of which was removed to Phthoa by Karsch. Of the remaining 

 forms hamuligera may be selected as the type. 



Paraclonaria postrostrata (Karsch). 



1898. [Gratidia] postrostrata Karsch, Entom. Nachrich., XXIV, pp. 373, 

 378. [Mombasa, East Africa.] 



Two males; Mombasa, British East Africa. [Coll. Morgan Heb- 

 ard.] 



These specimens agree very well with Karsch's description, except 

 for the fact that he gives the length of the anal segment as 7.5 milli- 

 meters, while in the specimens examined the plate itself is considerably 

 shorter than the type measurements. Possibly personal equation or 

 a different comprehension of the " analsegment " may be responsible 

 for the difference, as the structure and other proportions agree 

 perfectly. 



Genus MARANSIS Karsch. 



1898. Maransis Karsch, Entom. Nachrich., XXIV, pp. 365, 381. 

 Type. — Bacillus mozamhicus Westwood. 



Maransis rufolineatus Schulthess. 



1899. M[aransis] rufolineaius Schulthess, Bull. See. Vaudoise Sci. Nat., 

 Lausanne, XXXV, p. 200, PL VII, fig. 4. [Delagoa.] 



Five specimens; two males, three females (two immature); Zulu 

 Mission, South Africa. [A. N. S. Phila.]
