This is a slender and linear species with remarkably short head, convex and broadly 
rounded behind the eyes. The head, pro- and mesothorax, tegmina, and costal area of 
the wings are dark olive-brown, with slender green lines along the principal nervures of 
the alary parts, the legs (with the exception of the dark apices of the tibiæ) and the 
under surface of the body being light green. The antennæ are very long and slender, 
dark-brown, with the bases of the joints pallid. The eyes are very salient. The tegmina 
are oblong, quadrate, broad at the apex, with the outer apical angle produced, and the 
central carina conical in the middle. The membrane of the wings is light brown and 
transparent. In the male, the tip of the abdomen is blackish, the three dorsal apical 
segments not much abbreviated, and the anal styles short and obtuse; the genital seg- 
ments are not tumid. In the female, the seventh dorsal segment is not shorter than the 
sixth, and considerably longer than the eighth or ninth ; the last-mentioned is narrowed 
to the apex, and the genital operculum is broad and scarcely reaches the tip of the 
abdomen.

NECROSCIA FRONDOSA. Fem. Valde elongata, cylindrica, pallide flavescenti-viridis ;

segmentis dorsalibus tribus terminalibus multo abbreviatis; stylis analibus ultra 
apicem exsertis, linearibus; opereulo angusto, apice inciso; tegminibus oblongis, 
apice oblique truncatis; carina mediana modice conico-elevata, nigricante.—Long.

Closely allied to N. Aruana, Westw. (Cat. Phasm. plate xxxix. fig. 4), but different 
in colour, being wholly of a pale greenish yellow (probably pale green in life), and the 
membrane of the wings greenish or yellowish-white, with a very faint rosy tinge. The 
head is oblong, as in N. Aruana, and the thorax (except upper surface of metathorax) uni- 
formly granulated over its whole surface. The tegmina and costal area of the wings are 
pale greenish in colour, and there is no pale streak extending from the slightly elevated 
conical carina, which is so characteristic of JN. Aruana. The legs are uniform yel- 
lowish green. 
Hab. Menado, Celebes (Wallace). One example, female.
