338 MR. HENRY WALTER BATES ON PHASMIDÆ. 
ticulatis ; abdominis segmento ultimo dorsali valde elongato et postice attenuato 
(mas).—Long. corp. 3" 7”; mesothor. 1"; metath. 9”; abdom. 1” 8”. 
This species is nearly allied to L. wniformis (Westw. Cab. Or. Ent. plate 39. fig. 3); 
but it is much more slender, and the apical dorsal segment is much longer, and cleft in 
a somewhat different manner. It resembles still more closely L. Trollius (Westw. Cat. 
Phasm. plate xxii. fig. 1); but Z. Trollius has the apical segment cleft to its base, 
whilst the fissure extends in Z. dispar only a short way from the apex. | 
Body slender, cylindrical, densely and finely granulated thoughout; the colour is | 
green, in some parts luteous, with the tips of the thighs red. Head elongate, being 
much prolonged behind the eyes, flattened above, and with prominent hind angles, the — 
forehead, between the eyes, having two short but acute spines directed forwards. An- 
tennæ two-thirds the length of the body. Thorax unarmed, mesothorax enlarged at the 
insertion of the legs, metathorax not so; the latter is strongly bowed. Abdomen with 
the seventh and eighth dorsal segments dilated ; taken together they exceed the sixth in 
length; the terminal segment is nearly equal in length to the two preceding, and is . 
gradually narrowed behind to a point, the apex being cleft, and the two lobes slightly | 
incurved and toothed on their inner margins; anal styles short and inconspicuous, « 
Fore legs slender, 2" 3" in length; middle legs shortened and thickened, especially the — 
thighs, 1" 4" long; hind legs of the same thickness as the front pair, but 3" shorter. — 
The tarsi are all short, with the upper apical angles of the joints much produced, the 
basal joint in the middle and hind tarsi being no longer than the two preceding taken 
together, in the fore tarsi much longer. All the thighs have a small cluster of denti- | 
culations beneath near their apex, those of the middle thighs being larger than the rest. |

TE 
LONCHODES FORCIPATUS, n. Sp. L. cylindricus, modice elongatus, robustus, confertim 1 
granulatus, luteo-olivaceus, pedibus viridibus, femoribus apice luteis; abdominis 3 
apice clavato, segmento ultimo fisso, ramulis instar forcipis incurvatis (mas).— 
Long. corp. 2" 6"; mesotho. 73"; metatho. 64”; abdom. 1" 1"; anten. 1" 6". 
Resembles L. geniculatus of Gray (Westw. Cab. Or. Ent. plate 39, fig. 4), but differs 
from that species in being much stouter, with (in proportion) shorter antennæ, and in 
the apical dorsal segment being cleft nearly to the base, with the two lobes thus formed 
narrowed each to a elaw-like point, and curved. 
Head quadrate, slightly narrowed behind eyes, and flattish beneath, unarmed, closely 
covered like the rest of the body, above and beneath, with minute and smooth, rounded 
tubercles. Thorax longer than the abdomen, greatly enlarged at the insertion of 
the legs, the metathorax, in addition, being gibbous above at that point; the meta- 
thorax is also wider than the mesothorax. Abdomen cylindrical like the thorax, but 
narrower, the three terminal segments forming a club, the seventh and eighth being 
greatly dilated, and the ninth, which is much the longest of the three, deflexed, cleftin | 
the middle, with the two lobes curved and sharply pointed, with a series of sharp teeth | 
on the: inner side of each. The anal styles are short, straight, and obtusely pointed; | 
the apical ventral segments are gibbous beneath. The legs are rather short and stout
