This species was regarded by M. Serville as identical 

 with the P. Peleus of Mr. G. R. Gray. Having, however, 

 fortunately obtained in Paris the fragments of the three 

 typical specimens described by Serville, I have ascertained 

 its distinctness not only from that species, but also from any 

 of the preceding. In the very pilose legs it approaches 

 P. pilosipes of De Haan ; but that author's description of 

 the identity in the size of the wings of both sexes, and the 

 maculation of the third vein of the costal area, sufficiently 

 distinguish it from De Haan's species. It also approaches 

 A. affine of De Haan, but the shorter wings and swollen 

 terminal segments of the abdomen of that species suffi- 

 ciently separate the two ; the latter character also, as well 

 as the simple anal styles and larger size, distinguishes P. 

 Daunus from Serville's insect, although they agree in the 

 dissimilar size of the wings in the opposite sexes. 



The Servillean specimens are in a deplorable condition ; 

 but the abdomen of the male is perfect, and shows that the 

 terminal ventral segments are not in the least swollen, and 

 that the anal styles are short, but very broad and deflexed, 

 with the extremity emarginate-truncate. Serville describes 

 the legs generally as very pubescent ; but I can only dis- 

 cover this character in one pair of legs, and suppose them 

 to be the posterior. 



Genus 23. LOPAPHUS, Westw. 

 Group xv., De Haan, o. c. p. 125. 



Body long, winged in both sexes. Mesothorax very 

 much elongated. Wings similar in form in both sexes, 

 arcuated, abbreviated, varying in length from the extremity 

 of the metathorax to the fourth abdominal segment. Teg- 

 mina much smaller than the wings. Abdomen long in 

 both sexes. Legs long, unarmed, or with but small lobes 

 or leaflets. 



Inhabit the Eastern Archipelago and Northern Australia. 



This group is evidently an artificial one, containing seve- 

 ral distinct types of form, — all, however, distinguished by 

 possessing rudimental or short wings and wing-covers.
