Orthopterous Genus Phyllopliora. 309 



Section III. 



Lateral auoles of the pronotum more or less obsolete, but frequently 

 indicated by the presence of a tubercle larger than the others. 



13. Phyllophora lanceolata. 



Phylhphora lanceolata, Brunn. Abhandl. senckenb. Ges. xxiv. p. 263, 

 pi xix. fig. 49 (1898). 



Hab. Halraahera (Gilolo),Amboina, New Guinea (Stephaa- 

 sort), New Britain, Duke of Yoik Island. 



Specimens in the Museum from New Guinea, Murray 

 Island, Torres Straits, and New Ireland appear to belong to 

 P. lanceolata. In these the tubercle on each side of the pro- 

 notum at the broadest point is distinctly larger than the 

 others; but there are several other specimens from New- 

 Ireland, New Georgia, Sydney, and the Solomon Islands in 

 which the sides of the pronotum are regularly tuberculated 

 (more coarsely than in P. inermis), with no tubercle distinctly 

 larger than the rest. 



I regard these specimens as probably varieties of P. lanceo- 

 lata. 



14. Phyllophora Woodfordi, sp. n. (PI. VI. fig. 6.) 



Hob. Solomon Islands. 



Long, corp. cum tegm. 60-74 millim.; lat tegm. 21-26 

 millim. 



Green, or brownish testaceous ; head slightly waved in front, 

 hood long, narrow, slightly rounded off at the extremity, the 

 surface with a more or less reticulated appearance ; central 

 carina very slightly marked, the borders whitish, with well- 

 marked tubercles, front lobe with 4 (first and fourth largest), 

 second with 3 (third largest), lateral angles slightly marked, 

 and furnished with a larger tubercle than the others ; tegmina 

 moderately broad, tapering at the extremity, apex rounded 

 off, inner margin edged and slightly spotted with blackish. 

 Neuration nearly as in P. inermis. 



Front femora with 4-7 spines on each carina ; middle with 

 5-8 ; hind femora with 9-14. 



Allied to the last species. 



*15. Phyllophora variegata. 



Phyllophora variegata, Brunn. Abhandl. senckenb. Ges. xxiv. p. 264 



(1898). 



Bub. New Guinea. 



A species probably allied to the last.
