 broadly and distinctly margined on each side with this colour.

I now give a figure of the male from the specimen obtained at Pah- 

 poon by Mr. W. Davison, to whom I have since been indebted for a fine 

 series of specimens of the same species all taken by him from one lime-tree 

 at Malewoon in the Mergui District ; these differ from the typical ones only 

 in their rather smaller size, and are of value in proving that I had correctly 

 paired my insects on structural grounds alone. Amongst this series of spe- 

 cimens are larvae of the male, which shall be figured and described on a 

 future occasion, as they show, in their lozenge-shajDcd abdomen, it is hard- 

 ly doubtful, an ancestral phase of the species, and thus point to Ph. Gergon 

 of the Philij^pines, which is lozenge-shaped as to the abdomen in the adults 

 of both sexes.

 genus.

 While looking through the collection of Phasmidos in the Oxford 

 Museum I met with the two sexes of an insect, to which no name had yet
