CATALOGUE OF ORTHOPTEROUS INSECTS. 



edge ; the anal styles obtuse, incurved, and forcipated. The 

 legs are long, slender, unarmed, testaceous-coloured ; the 

 basal joint of the tarsi as long as all the remaining joints 

 united. 



The female is larger and broader, with shorter legs. The 

 general colour resembles that of the male ; the pale spot 

 across the middle of the tegmina transverse, and extending 

 to the inner margin, and the pale spot of the outer margin 

 more oblique. The chief vein of the costal area is furcate. 

 The three terminal segments of the abdomen compressed 

 and short ; the ovipositor not swollen, extending to the ex- 

 tremity of the ninth dorsal segment ; the anal styles straight 

 and obliquely porrected. 



The colour and form of the spots on the head and teg- 

 mina vary in different specimens. In some males the head 

 is spotless, in others it has a large rich fulvous-yellow round 

 spot between the eyes. In some specimens of both sexes 

 the spots of the tegmina are transverse, oblique, and whitish ; 

 in others fulvous yellow ; whilst in some the spots are round 

 and fulvous yellow. I at first considered the specimens 

 with rounded spots on the tegmina as a distinct species, to 

 which I gave the name of Ph. Eurybates, which they may 

 retain, if ultimately proved to be a distinct species.

I am indebted to Mr. Curtis for permission given to Mr. 

 Haliday to make a drawing of the typical specimen de- 

 scribed by Mr. G. R. Gray from his Collection, which is a 

 male. A female in the Leyden Museum is ticketed " Nova 

 Hollandia? " Mr. Wallace has sent it from Malacca. It is 

 a very slender species. The head has a black line on each 

 side behind the eye, which also extends along the sides of 

 the pro- and mesothorax. The anterior femora have two 

 black rings beyond the middle ; the middle femora have a 

 single black ring near the tip, and the hind femora (in the 

 female) are without rings ; the four anterior tibiae in the 

 female are anuulated with black, and the tip of the basal 

 joint of the tarsi in the middle legs and the extremity of 

 the hind tibise are also dark-coloured.
