Hab. In 3 a.va. (Serville). Borneo ; Sumatra (De /7aa;«). 



De Haan (/. c.) has given Phasma curuipes, Stoll, ral- 

 gum, Lichtenstein, roseipennis, Serville, Chloris, Serville, 

 and prasinum, Burmeister, as one species. Having, not- 

 withstanding all my exertions, been unable to find anv 

 trace of Serville's typical specimens in the Paris Collections, 



1 am unable to determine how far De Haan is justified in 

 such a step, and therefore prefer giving the species as 

 distinct.

The typical specimen described by Burmeister is con- 

 tained in the Berlin Museum ; it is a female, and is more 

 slender than the allied species ; the tegmina having the 

 median carina but little elevated ; and the operculum does 

 uot extend beyond the middle of the ninth dorsal segment.
