HIERODULA HYBRIDA. 125 



This specimen, although but half grown, when compared 

 with an adult male of this species from Batavia, Java, 

 determined by Saussure, shows no characters of difference 

 except those of immaturity. 



Rhomhodera hasalis (Haan). 



Nongkodjadjar. January, 1911. One male, two adult 

 females, one immature female. 



All of these except one adult female are preserved in 

 alcohol and have lost their original coloration. 



This species was described from Krawang, Java. 



Mr. Jacobson in writing about this species says: "These 

 Mantidae have a kind of pouch or membrane of a claret- 

 color between the segments of the under side of the 

 abdomen. If attacked or frightened (by lizards, other 

 animals or men) the Mantis takes a semi-erect position, 

 so that the underside of the abdomen is visible from the 

 front and the highly-colored membrane is protruded and 

 made clearly visible". 



RJiomhodera flava (Haan). 



Samarang. July, September & October, 1909. Three males. 



Haan's name appears to be the first clearly applicable 

 to this peculiarly Javanese species. Kirby considers Serville's 

 extensicoUis the first name for the form, but that was 

 based on a species with an oval expansion to the pronotum? 

 probably the same as laticolUs Burm. Haan's description 

 is very brief, but it contains nothing at variance with the 

 present material. Giebel's macropsis has been properly 

 synonymized as it was clearly based on material of the 

 present species. 



Mantis reliqiosa Linnseus. 



■ Samarang. August & October, 1909. Two males. 



These specimens fully agree in size with a male from 

 Sheikh Husein, Gallaland, Africa, and are appreciably 

 larger than the majority of seven males from Switzerland
