A single specimen of the female of this fine species is 

 contained in the National Collection. It is long, narrow, 

 and subconvex, the abdomen being the widest part of the 

 body. The head is oval, granulose, with two pairs of 

 rounded tubercles on the crown. The antennae are broken 

 at the tips, twenty-six joints only remaining. The meso- 

 thorax is long, granulose, and armed with two diverging 

 black spines near the middle of the disc. The basal seg- 

 ments of the abdomen are narrowly margined at the sides ; 

 the fourth has a transverse membrane near the tip ; the 

 three terminal segments are narrowed, rugose, the terminal 

 one entire ; the anal styles very short. The operculum 

 slightly boat-shaped, not extending to the tip of the abdo- 

 men. The tegmina are oblong-ovate, with a strong carina 

 running from the base, forming an elevated lobe before the 

 middle. The costal area of the wings is pale greenish 

 brown ; the base paler, with a large irregular black spot ; 

 the posterior area brown, with irregular fasciae of pale spots, 

 and also with small round pale spots upon the longitudinal 

 veins. The legs are strong ; the femora dentated ; the 

 fore tibiae with an elongated membrane on the upper edge, 

 reaching from the middle to the extremity, with two inci- 

 sions ; the four hind tibiae have a single spine on the outer 

 edge near the base, and with several on the inner edge ; the 

 tarsi are compressed.

Hab. Pulo Penang. In Mus. Westermann Havnise. 



The male of this handsome species is unique in the 

 splendid cabinet of M. Westermann of Copenhagen. It is 

 long and slender, and of a brown colour varied with luteous. 

 The head is oblong ; eyes prominent ; ocelli obsolete, the 

 hind part raised into a transverse row of very small eleva- 

 tions ; on each side behind the eyes is a longitudinal luteous 

 stripe. The antennae are long and slender ; beyond the 

 middle they are slightly marked with pale rings placed 

 wide apart. The prothorax is armed with two pairs of 

 spines, one at the fore margin, the other in the middle. 

 The mesothorax is also armed on its upper surface with a 

 series of still larger acute spines, arranged not quite regu- 

 larly in pairs. The tegmina are small, subovate, with the 

 median carina suddenly, but only moderately, elevated into 

 a small conical tubercle ; they are greyish luteous, with 

 brown veins. The wings are large ; they are of a pinkish- 

 white colour, varied with a number of irregular broad 

 greyish-brown fasciae, the veius in the dark parts being 

 much darker ; the costal area is huffish brown, slightly 

 varied with brown and luteous, with the veins blackish, the 

 median one being simple. The legs are long, slender, and 

 unarmed, fulvous-coloured varied with brown. The abdo- 

 men is long and slender ; the sixth segment constricted in 

 the middle, carinated along the centre ; the seventh seg- 

 ment shorter and subcorneal, the eighth considerably con- 

 stricted in the middle, and the ninth subquadrate, slightly 

 emarginate at its apex, the anal styles not being visible 

 from above ; the terminal ventral segments are considerably 

 swollen, the ninth extending only to the extremity of the 

 eighth dorsal segment, acute, with the tip also emarginate. 

 The meso- and metasterna are spinulose.
