PHASMID^ IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM. 459 



The British Museum has a long series of both sexes from Baram, North Borneo, 

 collected bj^ Mr. C. Hose. The female is well represented by De Haan's figure ; but the 

 male from Java, to which he refers it, is evidently distinct. The males of Phasmidce 

 are very ditfereut from the females, and can rarely be satisfactorily paired with them 

 without evidence. 



DiXIPPUS SODALIS, sp. n. 



Male. Long, slender, olive-brown, very finely and closely granulated. Head scarcely 

 longer than broad, with two short horns projecting forward, above and a little in front 

 of the eyes, and witli a row of four small tubercles at the hinder extremity above. 

 Antennae with the scape much tliickened, and twice as long as broad ; the greater 

 part of the flagellum, except towards the base, is blackish. Front tarsi blackish from 

 beyond the middle of the first joint to the extremity; the first joint is about as long as 

 the three following, which successively diminish in length. Legs slender, with two 

 pairs of large teeth at the extremity of the middle femora beneath, and two very small 

 pairs on the other femora. Abdomen with the terminal segment but slightly expanded. 

 Apical segment cleft to the base, about three times as long as broad.

Collected by Mr. C. Hose. 



Closely resembles the male of D. snmatranus, with which it was received, but diff'ers 

 by the short horns, and the different shape of the terminal segments of the abdomen. 



DiXIPPUS CORNUTUS, sp. n. 



Female. Cylindrical, brown, speckled, and varied with grey ; finely and thickly 

 granulated. Head oblong, scarcely narrowed behind, and luirdly granulated; face mostly
