[Plate III.] 



De. F. Hanitsch has kindly presented to the Natural 

 History Museum a very handsome Phasgonuride belonging 

 to the family Pseudophyllidoe and the section Phyllomimi of 

 Brunner. It was collected by xMr. V. Knight at Bukit 

 Lantai, Sungi Ujong, Malay Peninsula, in July 1910 ; and 

 at Dr. Hanitsch^s request I have much pleasure in naming it 

 after the collector. 



Temnojihyllus kniyhti^ sp. n, 



Allied to T. speciosus, Brunn.-Watt. Mon. Pseudophylliden, 

 p. 4(3. n. 1, pi. ii. fig. 13 (181'5), from Malacca and Borneo. 



Head smooth, conical, white; antennje twice as long as the 

 tegmina, green towards the base, afterwards with long black 

 spaces, and the latter half almost entirely black ; scape 

 whitish below, above green, with a slight tooth internally. 

 Pronotum dull white, shading into green at the extremity, 

 the transverse sulci only slightly marked, not so close 

 together as in Brunner's figure of T. speciosus; the longitu- 

 dinal sulcus very slightly marked and obsolete in front of the 

 first transverse sulcus ; the surface is marked with small, 

 scattered, reddish-brown, raised granules, and the deflexed 

 lobes are strongly serrated at the lower extremities. Tegmina 

 leaf-green, of nearly uniform breadth, the extremity broadly 

 emarginate. On the costa is a continuous narrow white line, 

 and at the base the inner margin and mediastinal nervure are 

 broadly reddish grey for a short distance. Beneath the 

 mediastinal nervure are three large triangular white spots, 

 each bisected by a nervure, and bordered, except at the base, 

 with black. Just above the base of the mediastinal nervure 

 is another small triangular white spot, and there is another 

 small one, of irregular shape, and enclosing a reddish-brown 

 mark, a little writhin the middle of the inner margin. Wings 

 about as long as the tegmina and similarly emarginate, green 

 as far as vi.^ible. Front legs green, inner carina with four 

 moderate-sized spines ; white beneath, with a broad black
