346 J. Wood-Mason — Rotes on Phasmidse. [No. 4, 



The specimen agrees perfectly with the type in the British Museum, 

 which however has lost the long and conspicuous supra-anal plate. 



There can hardly be a doubt that Bates' L. auscultator is the male.

A dried specimen of the female obtained by my native collector at Jo- 

 hore in the Malay Peninsula measures : — 



? . Total length 5 in. 2 lines ; head 2 ; proth. 2 25 ; mesoth. 15 ; 

 metath. ll'S ; abd. 27-5 + 3-75 (to apex of 10th segment) = 31-25 ; 

 antennae 26 lines. 



An immature insect closely resembling the female in general structure, 

 and doubtless the opposite sex of the species, was obtained by Mr. W. 

 Davison at Pahpoon, N. of Moulmein : it measures : — 



$ immature. Total length 2 in. 10*25 lines ; head 1*5 lines ; proth. 

 1-5 ; mesoth. 7 75 ; metath. 6 ; abd. 15 + 3-25 = 18-25 ; antennse 14-5. 



Phibalosoma Annamalatanum.

? . Very closely allied to JPJiih. acantJiopus, from which it differs in 

 its stouter body, its shorter and thicker legs, and in the relative proportions 

 of the different parts of the body, particularly the meso- and meta-thorax. 



The following are the measurements of a spirit -specimen : — 



Total length 8 inches 9 lines ; head 7 lines ; mesoth. 19 ; metath. 16 ; 

 abd. 3 in. 6'75 lines + 1 in. 2'5 lines = 4 in. 9*25 lines ; antennse 2 in. 

 fore femur 2 in. 2 lines, tibia 2 in. 6 lines ; intermediate femur 1 in. 

 8 lines, tibia 1 in. 8 lines ; posterior femur 1 in. 11 lines, tibia 2 in. 1 line. 



A lamellar process rounded off at extremity at hinder end of sixth ven- 

 tral segment of the abdomen. 



Hab. Annamallay forests. Southern India, a single specimen preserv- 

 ed in spirits, obtained by Colonel R. C. Beddome, and Travancore Hills, a 

 much mutilated dried example, presented to me by Mr. P. Day. 



A characteristically Malayan form ; in which; as in Fliih. virgea and 

 in FMh. acantJiojpus, the female is perfectly apterous, the metanotum pro- 

 per is much longer than the medial segment, and there is a process* at the 

 hinder extremity of the sixth ventral segment of the abdomen ; and which 

 effects a sort of transition between its more immediate allies above-named 

 and its more remote ones, Phih. Cantori and Phih. Westwoodi, in which

 forceps of the male in copulation.
