With these may perhaps be associated some of the species 

 placed by Westwood in his genus Lopaphus, which, except 

 for the possession of wings, much resemble Lonchodince. 



Genus Lopaphus, Westw. 



Lopaphus, Westw. Cat. Pkasm. p. 99 (1859) ; Wood-Mason, Journ. 



Asiatic Soc. Bengal, xlvi. p. 347 (1877). 

 Phasma, group 15, Haan, Temniinck, Verhandel., Orth. p. 125 (184l>). 



As Westwood's genus corresponds to De Haan's group 15, 

 one of the four species included in that group by Da Haan 

 (Bojei, brachypterum, Machlottii, and galacpterum, H.) must 

 be regarded as the type. But Wood-Mason (supra) enume- 

 rates a series of species as belonging to Lopaphus, among 

 which brachypterum is the only one of De Haan's included ; 

 and this consequently becomes the type. 



However, the other species placed by Wood- Mason in 

 Lopaphus are not congeneric, but belong to Gandaules, Stal, 

 and other genera. L. brachypterus is probably allied to the 

 following genus. 



'a t> v 



Genus Phjsnopharos, nov. 



Antenna? nearly as long as the front legs and composed of 

 a great number of joints ; head with 4 or 5 tubercles behind, 

 and about as long as the pronotum ; mesonotum nearly one 

 third of the whole length of the body ; median segment very 

 long, fully half as long as the metanotum ; legs very long; 

 front legs longest, middle legs shortest ; first joint of front 

 tarsi longer than the remaining joints together, and with a 

 lamellated crest at the extremity ; all the tibia? with two 

 spines towards ihe extremity on each lower carina ; hind 

 tibia? with a small basal lamina beneath on the inner side ; 

 tegmina squamiform. Wings hardly as long as the median 

 segment. 



Type, Lopaphus struthioneus, Westw., from Singapore and 

 Penang. 



The three specimens of this genus in the Museum probably 

 represent two species ; but it will be better to wait for a longer 

 series before differentiating them. 



Subfam. VII. Palophinjs. 

 I have no observations to make on this subfamily.
