 with the sides of the pronotum rather more strongly toothed, 

 and the apex more pointed.

This species is founded on immature specimens, and cannot 

 be identified till fully developed ones are received from the 

 same locality. An immature Phylhphora from Ceram, which 

 Walker regarded as H. virescens, is likewise indeterminable 

 at present, the head resembling P. philippinica and the hood 

 P. brunnea. It is not unlike the figure of P. speciosa, Thunb., 

 with which some authors have considered P. virescens to be 

 identical.

Male. — Uniform green -, hind femora inclining to reddish ; 

 front of head entire ; hood closely and uniformly punctured, 

 the crenulated borders whitish, and a long spine at the lateral 

 angles ; front with two shallow transverse carinse dividing the 

 hood into three lobes ; front lobe with 5 teeth, second with 3, 

 the hindermost in each case rather larger than the others; a 

 longitudinal carina very slightly marked on the front half of 

 the hind lobe ; apex of hood rounded off, not dentated ; cerci 

 long, slender, upcurved, subgenital plate nearly as long, bifid, 

 the extremities narrow and pointed ; tegmina rather broad, 

 the costa and inner margin curving together in a point ; 

 mediastinal nervure throwing off a short oblique branch to the 

 cofcta at about two thirds of its length, and immediately after- 

 wards dividing into two longer branches, the uppermost 

 running obliquely towards the costa, and the principal branch 

 of the lower one reaching the extreme apex of the wing ; all 

 these three branches subdivide towards their extremity, inner 

 margin of tegmina narrowly bordered at two thirds of its 

 length with a ferruginous line, which, after continuing for a 

 short distance, is replaced by small ferruginous spots at the 

 end of the nervures. (The first two lobes of the hood are
