 que viridi ; abdominis operculo fceminee lanceolato, apicem 

 abdominis longe superante, hujus appendicibus terminalibus 

 operculo parum brevioribus, basi angustis, lateribus sinuatis, 

 apice abrupte truncato; pedibus corpore concoloribus, brun-

Long. corp. uuc. 7\. 



Hab. ? In Mus. Hopeiauo Oxoniae. 



Having carefully examined and drawn the original typi- 

 cal individual of this species, described by Mr. G. R. Gray, 

 and having also before me Serville's types of his two 

 species, C. versifasciata and C. versirubra, in the Hopeian 

 Collection, I am able to refer the two latter to C. Goliath. 

 The type of C. versifasciata is a smaller female, and 

 has lost all its distinctive colours, probably from having 

 been originally preserved in spirits of wine. I have also 

 recently obtained a remarkably beautiful specimen of the 

 female from Moreton Bay, of which the following are the 

 dimensions : — Long. corp. cum operc. unc. 8^ ; cap. lin. 5 ; 

 anten. lin. 15; proth. lin. 5; mesoth. lin. 15; metath. 

 lin. 14y ; abdom. unc. 3, lin. 7 + unc. 1 + operc. ap. lin. 9 

 =unc. 5, lin. 4 ; tegm. lin. 22 ; alar, expans. unc. 8. 



In this specimen the mesothorax is nearly smooth ; the 

 colour of the membranous portion of the wings is hyaline 

 tinged with green ; the prothorax has a broad brown fascia 

 on each side ; the abdomen is dark fulvous brown, with 

 the extremity and the operculum dark green. 



The Acrophylla Typhceus of Gray, which De Haan 

 gives as the male of Cyphocrania Goliath, is the male of 

 Tropidoderus Childrenii. 



4. (275.) Cyphocrania Beauvoisii. 



Fusca ; thorace scabro ; tegminibus elongatis, viridibus, 

 basi subgibbiferis ; alis hyalinis, area costali abdomineque 

 viridibus, ultimo nigro reticulato ; pedum marginibus ser- 

 ratis, sed tibiarum posticarum margine interno spinoso.

De Haan considers that the insect figured by Palisot de 

 Beauvois is simply a variety of C. Goliath of Gray, with the 

 ovipositor mutilated. Being unable to verify this suppo- 

 sition, I have preferred giving it as doubtfully distinct. 



5. (276.) Cyphocrania Enceladus.

Acrophylla Enceladus, G. R. Gray, Syn. Phasm. p. 39. 

 Hab. In Australia. In Mus. Hopeiano Oxoniee. 



De Haan has suggested (Orth. Orient, p. 129) that this 

 species is only a variety of C. maculata. The two species 

 are, however, quite distinct ; and as P. Enceladus appears 

 to be very rare, I have introduced figures of the typical 

 specimens of both sexes, preserved in the Hopeian Collec- 

 tion, into this work, which are the only ones I have yet 

 seen.
