Ortlioptera. 147 



inside at the base, ending in triangular dentated points; beyond 

 and above these are numerous small teeth. Femora with four 

 white spines on the outer edge, ringed, tipped, and lined with 

 black ; a row of alternately large and small black spines, streaked 

 with white inside, on the inner carina, and four large median 

 oblique basal spines, black, standing in black rings, and white only 

 on the inside. Tibial spines tipped with black; tarsi streaked 

 with black on the inside. Propectus with two broad black bands ; 

 mesopectus with one. (In the males, the colours beneath are not 

 sufficiently well preserved to be described.) 



A very distinct species, but most nearly related to H. patellifera, 

 Serv, 



Described from four males (two labelled "Flying Fish Cove, 

 Aug., 1897," and another, "West Coast, Oct., 1897"), and six 

 females (three from Flying Fish Cove or neighbourhood), 

 September 20 to October 20, 1897. There is also a pupa and an 

 •empty pupa-skin from the same locality.

"Long. Corp. 100mm. 



" Male. — Uniform brown ; head and pronotum somewhat more 

 grey; antennae about two -thirds as long as the mesonotum ;

 longer than the metanotum ; two small horns between the eyes ;

 C stilp7ms, Westwood."

 East Coast, jN'ovember, 1897. (Andrews.) 



There are two other Phasmidte in Mr. Andrews' collection, 

 apparently belonging to the allied genus Entoria, Stal, but hardly 

 in sufficiently good condition to describe, though probably new.
