1873.] J.Wood-Mason — Species of Phasmidcd. 49 



regularly attenuated from its base to its almost indescribably acute, deeply- 

 cleft, slightly recurved, and strongly compressed extremity. The seventh 

 segment is hardly twice as long as the 8th, which is about a fifth of the 

 length of the last ; this has a perceptible upward curvature and is cleft nearly 

 to the insertion of the minute conical ee^^ci. The operculum is subdepressed, 

 acutely pointed at the extremity, carinated below and reaches the commence- 

 ment of the middle third of the last segment, where the cerci are inserted. 



Legs long, but rather stout as compared with the body, triquetrous ; 

 the fore femora are serrated for more than two -thirds of the length of the 

 straight portion, intermediate femora with two or three triangular spines 

 close together above near the base ; posterior ones with one or two. Tibia3 

 with a well defined but not very salient foliaceous carina below ; four 

 posterior ones with minute spinules on all their crests. The right middle 

 leg is a reproduced limb, having but four joints to the tarsus and a single 

 spine on the femur. 



Total length of the body 4 in. 9 lines ; antennae 6i : head 2\ ; proth. 

 2 ; mesoth. Hi ; metath. 8f ; abdomen 23^ + 10 = 33|^ lines.

Sab. — Pegu Yomah, collected by Mr. S. Kurz, the botanist at the 

 Calcutta Botanic Garden, during his recent botanical tour through Burma 

 and the Tenasserim Provinces. 



In the form of the terminal segments of the body, this species ap- 

 proaches B. Megulus^ Westw. $ (Cat. p. 8, PI. XXII).

? Very slender and cylindrical and smooth. The head is armed with two 

 minute blunt erect spines between the eyes, and is slightly narrowed behind ; 

 its posterior margin with 3 or 4 notches. Antennae exactty half the length of 

 the mesothorax ; first joint depressed and somewhat expanded, feebly carinate 

 above, its outer margin more convex than the inner ; second joint fully as 

 broad as long, depressed. 



Abdomen extremely long and slender, tapering very gradually to the 

 apex of the seventh segment ; whence it very slightly expands to the basal 

 half of the last which suddenly narrows to its extremity ; this is divided 

 by a shoit cleft into rounded tips. 7tli dorsal segment equal to 8th, half as 

 long as the last which is carinate above. Cerci pointed. Operculum narrow 

 depressed, obtusely pointed, reaching the end of basal tliird of last segment. 



Legs simple ; anterior pair tolerably long ; anterior femora serrated 

 for three-fourth of the length of upper crest. The first joint of anterior 

 tarsi is twice the length of its homologue in the intermediate legs, which is 

 rather shorter than that of the posterior legs.
