CATALOGUE OF ORTHOPTEROUS INSECTS. 



Phasma (Phyllium) Celebicum, De Haan, Orthopt. Orient. 



p. Ill, fern. 



G. R. Gray in Zoologist, 1843, i. 121. 



Hah. In Celebes (De Haan) ; Manilla. In Mus. Hopei- 

 ano Oxonia3 (mas et fcem.) et B.M. 



The dimensions of the female given above are taken from 

 the typical specimen described by De Haan, still in the 

 Museum at Ley den. In the Hopeian Museum is another 

 female, from Manilla, in which the wings are still larger, 

 reaching rather beyond the middle of the fifth segment of 

 the abdomen. 



I have no hesitation in giving the male insect described 

 above, from the Hopeian Collection, as that of this species, 

 it having also been received from Manilla.

Hah. Ceylon. B.M. 



I have only seen a single specimen of this very distinct 

 species, in the Collection of the British Museum. It agrees 

 with Ph. Celebicum in possessing moderately developed 

 (although shorter) wings, but differs entirely from that 

 species in the form of the femora and abdomen, and in the 

 lobed condition of the posterior tibiae. In the shape of 

 the abdomen it approaches Ph. Geryon, but differs from 



that species in the developed wings and in the lobed hind 

 tibiae.

Phyllium Geryon, G. B. Gray in Zoologist, 1843,i. 1 18, fem. 

 Pupa maris?, De Haan, Orth. Orient, pi. 15. f. 7. 

 Hah. Philippine Islands (fem. in B.M.). 



The measurements given above are taken from the ori- 

 ginal specimen in the British Museum Collection, described 

 by Mr. G. R. Gray. The fore legs are now wanting (if 

 indeed the character of the anterior femora given by that 

 writer were not derived from De Haan's figure of a male 

 pupa above quoted). In both the latter and the British 

 Museum specimen the body may be said to form an elon- 

 gated lozenge or diamond, the anterior point being placed at 

 the front of the prothorax, and the widest part being near 

 the end of the third segment of the abdomen.
