 The genus Phalangopsis contains insects of rather striking appear- 

 ance, since they are of medium or large size, and are provided with 

 very long spider-like legs, lack organs of flight, and even those for 

 stridulating purposes. So far as I know, but three species have been 

 described, one oriental, and two from tropical America. Now another 

 American species is to be added. 



60. Phalangopsis marmoratus sp. nov. 



Testaceous to ferrugineo-testaceous, marmorate and banded with 

 fuscous. In the female entirely apterous, in the males provided with 

 short corneous tegmina, which are peculiarly modified by having 

 the dorso-apical margin inflated and glabrous, reminding one of the 

 edges of leaves that have been modified into a gall-like fold by the 

 attacks of some insect. Body sericeous and tomentose. Antennae 

 annulate with fuscous and pallid. 



Size larger than usual, the hind femora moderately robust on their 

 basal half. Legs broadly and regularly annulate with fuscous. Head 

 perpendicular, considerably narrower than the wide pronotum; eyes 

 not prominent, the vertex depressed and forming a narrow rostrum 

 between the rather large basal antennal joints; ocelli not prominent, 

 the anterior one located where the vertical front meets the horizontal 

 rostrum, the posterior ones at the sides of the base of the rostrum. 

 Pronotum large, bulging or convex, broadest towards the front, the 

 lateral lobes highest and dilated over the coxae of anterior legs, well 

 rounded and ascending to the rear, anterior margin broadly and 

 roundly emarginate, the posterior margin straight. Hind tibiae a 

 little longer than the femora, the margins finely spined or serrate 

 and provided apically with 4 : 4 elongate movable spines. Metatarsus 

 elongate and provided with two rows of spines above, but not carinate.
