MR. HENRY WALTER BATES ON PHASMIDA. 337 
being an inhabitant of the island of Bourou, while Phasma femoratum, as before men- 
tioned, is a native of Amboyna. 
The body is cylindrical and granulated throughout, with numerous longitudinal 
wrinkles on the surface of the abdomen. It is of a dingy-ochreous hue, with irregular 
dusky stripes, and is quite without lustre. The head is subquadrate and slightly convex, 
and there are two short, widely-separated spines between the eyes. The seventh ab- 
dominal segment is shorter than the sixth, but much longer than either of the two fol- 
lowing, which are about equal in length, the apical segment has its terminal margin 
trisinuate, with the angles prominent. The operculum is a little longer than the dorsal 
tip of the abdomen, and has a very distinet keel, the posterior half of which is cleft, 
leaving a number of tooth-like projections ; the sides of the posterior slope are also 
dentated. The legs are short and stout; all the femora have numerous teeth near the 
apex on the under surface; the anterior pair have also a row of short, compressed, and 
rounded expansions of membrane along their upper surface, and the middle femora have 
each, along the apical half, five or six larger, compressed, and obtuse spines. The anterior 
tibiæ are equally and broadly dilated throughout, the middle tibiæ are a little widened 
at the base and apex ; the hind tibiæ have a broad and short foliated tooth near the base 
on the inner side. The tarsi are short, the basal joints being scarcely so long as 
the second and third taken together, and in the anterior feet are elevated and com- 
pressed.

LONCHODES PHALANGODES. Mas. L. tenuissimus, inermis, pedibus elongatissimis, 
rectis, linearibus; abdominis segmento dorsali apicali usque ad basin fisso. Long. 
corp. 4” 2” ; mesothor. 11” ; metath. 10°” ; ped. anticis 5” 2” ; ped. intermed. 2-0 5 
ped. poster. 4". 
Closely allied to Z. nematodes of De Haan; but the body is rather stouter, and the 
apieal dorsal segment differs in shape. 
Head oval (mutilated, and antennæ wanting). Fore legs excessively elongated, being 
an inch longer than the body, and quite linear, the base of the femora not being curved 
as it generally is in this family; fore tarsi nearly 4 of an inch in length. Thorax entirely 
smooth. Abdomen smooth; seventh and eighth segments taken together about equal in 
length to the sixth, and not much longer than the ninth, which is cleft to the base, the 
cleft not suddenly gaping towards the apex, the tips of each lobe being denticulated, 
and the anal styles short and incurved. The seventh and eighth segments are dilated, but 
the dilated margins are deflexed, the eighth at the tip ‘nearly, and the base of the ninth 
quite, meeting beneath, the apical ventral segments being much abbreviated, and not 
reaching the tip of the eighth dorsal segment. Legs all quite simple and linear. 
Hab. One example, from Batchian (Wallace).
