340 MR. HENRY WALTER BATES ON PHASMIDÆ. 
haud dilatato ; abdomine segmentis 7° et 8° paulo abbreviatis, segmento ultimo tertia 
parte apicali fissa, segmento terminali ventrali paulo convexo, lævi, segmentum 8" 
dorsale vix superante; pedibus modice elongatis, femoribus intermediis et posticis 
apice quinque-denticulatis, denticulis linea unica ordinatis ; tarsis filiformibus.— 
Long. corp. 4" 3” ; mesothor. 103°” ; metath. 94”; ped. post. 3" ; abdom. 1" 10" + 
mE 4. 
Differs from L. nematodes, De Haan (Westw. Cat. Phasm. t. v. fig. 7), which it resembles 
in the extent of fissure of the terminal abdominal segment, in the elongato-quadrangular 
shape of the head, in the body and limbs being very much less attenuated: the general 
colour is dark-green or olive-brówn, and the body is smooth throughout and shining. 
The antennæ are broken in the specimen described; the basal joint is of ordinary 
thiekness. The legs are unarmed, except a single row of small denticulations under- 
neath the middle and posterior femora towards the apex. The seventh and eighth 
dorsal segments are not notably abbreviated ; taken together they are considerably longer 
than the sixth; the apical segment is a little shorter than the sixth, tapering, and the 
fissure extends scarcely to one third the length; the sides of the basal part coalesce 
beneath ; the anal styles are short and pendent beneath the middle of the segment. The 
apical ventral segment is smooth, slightly convex, and reaches the apex of the eighth 
dorsal segment ; the seventh and eighth ventral segments are simple. 
Hab. Darjeeling : one example, male, from Mr. Russell’s Collection (Coll. of W. W. Saunders, Esq.). 
PHIBALOSOMA EXTENSUM, n.sp. Ph. magnum, cylindricum, attenuatum, corpore levi; 
capite cornibus duobus rotundato-foliaceis armato; operculo vaginali longissime 
canaliculato, apice sinuato-truncato, longe ultra apicem in linea recta extenso; 
pedibus mediocribus, foliaceo-spinosis (fwm.).—Long. corp. (operc. inclus.) 7” 7^; 
mesothor. 1" 6”; metath. 1" 3”; abdom. 3" 8"; operculi 8”. 
Body moderately slender, cylindrical, dingy-brown sprinkled with white. Head 
slightly convex, vertex, between the eyes, armed with two oval leaf-like horns. Antenne 
long, setaceous (apex wanting). Thorax and abdomen unarmed. Abdomen with — 
the three apical joints, taken together, rather shorter than the sixth; a small pointed : 
segment appearing at the tip of the ninth. Anal styles rather short. Vaginal oper- - 
culum scoop-shaped, keeled beneath, sinuato-truncate at the apex, surpassing the dorsal | 
apex of the abdomen by a length of 8 lines, and unaccompanied by filaments. Fore legs - 
not much longer than the second pair; fore femora beneath with three tooth-like ex- 
pansions—namely, one before the middle, the second beyond the middle, the third at the : 
apex; fore tibiæ with three rounded expansions beneath, in nearly the same relative - 
positions as those of the femora. Middle femora with four large tooth-like expansions 
near the base—namely, two above, approximated, and two wide apart beneath ; middle 
tibiæ with a pair of similar expansions on the upper surface near the base, and a single 
one in the same line beyond the middle. Hind femora with numerous tooth-like spines f 
placed wide apart from base to apex; hind tibiæ with two or three similar processes ? i 
the upper surface. Tarsi moderately elongated, basal joint simple, as long 8$ the 
remaining four taken together.
