40 KATYDIDS (tETTIGONIIDAE) OF SARAWAK MUSEUM. 



2 greyish-green 9 from Mt. Murnd, 6500 feet, perfectly 

 agreeing in all characters with Javanese specimens of Buiten- 

 zorg Museum. 



The species was known hitherto from Java only.

I place in this species with some doubt 1 9 from Mt. Dulit, 

 differing from venosa by its distinctly large size, viz., length 

 of tegmina 59 mm. of hind femora 38 mm. otherwise agreeing 

 with the measurements given by Brunner for 'H. ohtusa. 



The antennae are reddish-brown, not black, as described by 

 Brunner. Ovipositor a little larger and considerably longer 

 than in Javanese specimens of H. venosa (Buitenzorg Mu- 

 seum). Subgenital plate having the form of an equally-sided 

 triangle, blunt at apex, according to Brunner (1878, p. 178) 

 "brevissima, triangularis, obtusa." I find a slight difference 

 there against the Javanese specimens of H. venosa before me, 

 as these latter have this plate a little more slender and distinctly 

 excised at extreme apex, whilst Brunner says thereon (1878, 

 p. 175): "brevis, triangularis, apice submarginata;" and 

 (1891, p. 89) : "apice integra... triangularis, elongata." It is 

 very difficult to recognize a species with certainty from such 

 contradictory statements. 



H. ohscura was known hitherto from Malay Peninsula only.
