CATALOGUE OF ORTHOPTEROUS INSECTS. 



Titan with Cyph. Goliath in the genus Cyphocrania ; but 

 the remarkably elongated anal appendages refer the former 

 species to Acrophylla, whilst G. Goliath, from the arma- 

 ture of its legs, and greatly elongated ovipositor, evidently 

 belongs to a type distinct from the true Acrophylla. 



1. (289.) Acrophylla Titan.

De Haan refers this species (as well as Acr. Enceladus, 

 Gray) to the Cyphocrania maculata of Olivier. I have not 

 seen the species.

scabro ; tegminibus flavo- aut brunneo-viridibus, nervis 

 flavescentibus ; alis nigris, obscure albo-maculatis, area 

 costali brunneo-viridi, basi nervisque flavescentibus, lineis 

 irregularibus nigris, foliolis duobus longis apice latioribus ; 

 pedibus mediocribus, quatuor posterioribus dentatis ; pedum 

 lateribus griseo-reticulatis.

I am not satisfied as to the amount of variation to which 

 this species is subject, but believe it to be greater than 

 would at first sight be credited. In the Hopeian Collec- 

 tion are preserved a male and female, received from Mr. 

 MacLeay as distinct, under the name of Diura Saturnus ; 

 the female agreeing with Gray's figure in the size of the 

 wings and tegmina, but with the legs and anal styles more 

 elongated, the latter being 13 lines long, the entire insect 

 being 8 inches long. Other female specimens, of much 

 smaller size, varying from 5 to 6 inches long, have the 

 wings scarcely so long as the tegmina. In these also there 

 is considerable difference in the length of the anal styles. 

 Another specimen, about 8£ inches long (including the 

 anal styles, 13 lines long), has the wings as large as in 

 Gray's figure, but much more strongly tessellated than the 

 ordinary individuals, the general colour of the specimen 

 being reddish brown. 



4. (292.) Acrophylla Japetus. 



Mas. Brunneus ; mesothorace scaberrimo ; tegmiuibus 

 brunneis, juxta apicem albo-marginatis ; alis hyalinis, basi 

 flavo-albidis, margine exteriore nigrescentibus, area costali 

 brunnea, basi subhyalina flavo-albida, apice nigrescente ; 

 pedibus brevibus, dentatis. 



Fcem. Flavo-viridis ; pro- et mesothorace brevioribus, 

 scaberrimis ; tegminibus mediocribus ; alis nigris albo-ma- 

 culatis, area costali viridi fusco-submaculato; foliolis duobus 

 brevibus, latis ; pedibus brevioribus, dentatis.
