the femora somewhat thickened and each armed, near the apex, beneath with a cluster 
of small and sharp teeth; the basal joint of the tarsi is scarcely longer than the three 
following taken together. The colour of the body is fulvous-brown, with an olive 
tinge; the legs (even in dried specimens) are of a fine green hue, with the knees orange- 
yellow. 
Hab. Of this handsome, well-proportioned species there are two examples, one from Menado; and one 
from Tondano, in the North of Celebes, taken by Mr. Wallace. 
LONCHODES ASPERATUS, n.sp. Robustus, sordide olivaceo-luteus, opacus, eorpore toto 
rugulis longitudinalibus, granulis et tuberculis acutis asperato ; capite quadrato, 
postice haud attenuato, inter oculos breviter bispinoso, antennis articulo basali lato 
. complanato ; pedibus validis, femoribus apice anticis uni-, intermediis et posticis qua- 
drispinosis ; tarsis simplicibus. 
Mas. Cylindricus, tuberculis parvis minus acutis ; corpore supra coxas dilatato ; abdomine 
segmentis 7° et 8 paulo abbreviatis et dilatatis, 9" attenuato profunde fisso, fissura 
intus denticulata; segmentis genitalibus nodulosis, medio carinatis, apice subacuto ; 
stylis analibus brevibus, complanatis, obtusis.—Long. corp. 2" 2"; anten. 1" 6" (circa) ; 
mesothor. 6"; metath. 4"; ped. post. 104", 
Pom. Major, latior, subeylindricus, tuberculis majoribus subspinosis; abdomine seg- 
mentis dorsalibus 6-8" apice dentatis, ultimo apice dilatato, medio valde emarginato; 
segmento ventrali sexto apice producto, lobato; operculo medio tumido, usque ad 
apicem segmenti ultimi dorsalis extenso.—Long. corp. 2" 9"—3" 3" : anten. 2". 
The male of this species resembles L. Myrina, Westw. (Cat. Phasm. t. xxiv. fig. 7), 
agreeing with that species in the form, and pretty nearly in the proportions of the apical 
segments of the abdomen, both ventral and dorsal, and in the spines at the apex of the 
femora; but it is shorter, much more robust, and differs entirely in having coarse 
wrinkled integuments studded with small tubercles and granulations. The head is short 
and thick, and not narrowed behind; and is armed in both sexes, between the eyes, with 
two short spines. The basal joint of the antenne is broad and flattened, like that of many 
species of Bacillus and Acanthoderus. The proportion of mesothorax to metathorax is 
as three to two in both sexes, and the granulations and wrinkles of the body are mo- 
derate in the male, but strongly pronounced in the female, the former amounting in 
some examples to short and acute spines. The legs are stout and somewhat short, the 
hind pair, when stretched out, surpassing by but little the length of the abdomen, and 
the middle pair are in due proportion. The apical dorsal segment of the abdomen in the 
female is dilated at each apical angle, and deeply emarginated in the middle, the emar- 
gination being occupied by a supplementary tenth segment. A distinguishing cha- 
raeter of the species, as far as this sex is concerned, is the remarkable compressed lobe 
into which the apical part of the sixth ventral segment is produced.
