444: Mr. W. F. Kirby — Notes on Phasniiclce 



Genus Haaniella, Kirb., n. n. 



WJIeterojpteryx, Haan ; Stal (nee Gray). 



Fhasma (^Heteropteryx) Miilleri, Ilaan, may be regai'ded as 

 the type. 



Subfam. XII. Anibomoeprinje. 

 I have no additions to make to this subfamily. 



Subfam. XIII. Phisopinjs. 



These peculiar insects differ much from all the others 

 ])laccd by Brunner in his heterogeneous family Phasmidse, 

 and in some cases the clefts at the end of the tibice beneath 

 are very slightly marked. 



Genus Acanthoclonia, Stal. 



Acanthoclo7iia (?) paradoxa, sp. n. 



Female. — Dark brown ; antennre, palpi, and legs clothed 

 with a thick felty pubescence. Head with the upper part 

 much raised, having a trilobate diverging excrescence on each 

 side and a row of three pairs of raised tubercles between ; 

 the sides and front of the head are also set with conspicuous 

 tubercles less regularly arranged. The anterior lobes are 

 much larger than the others, and converge in front. Of the 

 antennae, which incline to reddish towards the end, twenty 

 joints remain ; they are cylindrical ; the third is the longest, 

 but the remainder increase very gradually in length after the 

 fourth ; the scape is broad and flattened, with a raised carina 

 on each side above, and a large lobe below ; the second joint 

 is thickened, forming a broad cone. Legs short and stout ; 

 femora more or less laminate-dentate on the upper carinse, 

 the foliations slightly converging above ; the tibise the same, 

 with several elevations on the front tibio3 and one or two on 

 the others ; the outer lower carina of the middle femora is 

 armed with three large teeth. Tibiae beneath with large 

 terminal triangular clefts. Tarsi with the fifth joint long, 

 the first shorter, and the middle ones very short, decreasing 

 in length. Tegmina rounded, rather longer than broad, 

 extending just beyond the base of the median segment ; wings 

 not visible. Lower appendages of the abdomen yellowish.
