REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCOOXLII : 
spines on the anterior thighs) : phyllopus and punctata, from Java ; 
lohiceps, from Sumatra; hicingulata, crassipes, reticulata, dundiplani- 
ceps, from Java and Borneo. Harpax sumatrana, from Padang. A 
new group resembling Oxypilus, but having lobes on the posterior 
thighs: M. oligoneura, from Sumatra, Java, and the Moluccas; i/. 
horneensis, from Borneo. Blepkaris Kuhlii, Thespis thoracica, and 
armata. 
Charpentier (Orth. Desc. No. o) has figured Vates macropterus (Mant. 
macr., Stoll., Mant. lohipes, Licht., V. macropt. and orhus, Burm., 
Theoclyt. Idbipes, Serv., Empusa lohipes, Griff.) ; Mantis concinna 
((5, M. oratoria, De Geer, M. aurantiaca, Burm., M. 4:-maculata, 
Serv. ; 9, M. concinna, Perty, Serv., M. tricolor, Burm.) ; Mantis an- 
nulipes, Serv., Acanthops sinuata {Mant. sinuata, Kirby, A. mortui- 
folia, Serv. (?) ; the author considers M. sinuata, Stoll. (?), M, angulata, 
Licht., A. erosa, Serv. (?), A. fuscifolius, Burm., as its 9) 5 and A. tes- 
selata, a male similar to that of the preceding, the female of which is 
not yet known, found in Brazil. 
Westwood (Arcana Ent. i. p. 161, t. LI) has figured a new and very 
distinct species of the genus Toxodera, Serv., which difiers from Ser- 
ville’s species by the points of the eyes being obliquely directed forwards 
(in both without facettes), and very slightly lobed posterior thighs ; 
therefore he gives it a peculiar sub-generic name, Heterochceta. The 
particularly large species, T. (H.) tenuipes, comes from Senegal. 
De Haan (1. c. s.) has reduced the genus Deroplatys, Westw. {Choe~ 
radodis, Guer.), to two species, as he unites D. arida, Westw., as 
with the D. lohata ; and the figured by him, the D. rhomhica, Hagenb. 
{desiccata, Guer.), appears to agree with D. angustata, Westw. On 
the other hand, Guerin (Deless. Voy. dans ITnde, ii. p. 65, t. 15) has 
enriched this genus with a distinct new species, Choeradodis truncata, 
from Singapore. 
Spectra. — The new species of this family, described and figured by 
De Haan, are as follows (1. c. s.) : — Heteropteryx (Gray) Miilleri, from 
Sumatra ; Phyllium celehicum, from Celebes ; Prisopus {Platytelus) 
Horstokii, from the Cape of Good Hope ; Ascephasma {Perlamorpha) 
Forstenii, from Celebes ; Creoxylus jiavicornis, from Borneo, affinis 
and viridiinarginatus, from Java ; Xeroderus laceratus, from Sumatra ; 
Necroscia {Platycrania, Gr.) acanthocephala, spiniceps, and diacan- 
thos, from Java, fuscoannulata, from Borneo, nigroannulata, from 
Java, sordida and pulcltella, from Sumatra, rubicunda and jularis, 
from Java, nigrofasciata, from Sumatra ; Phasma conoceplialwm, from 
Sumatra, is a distinct unnamed form, with wings as long as the abdomen, 
elytra one-fourth of the length of the wings, and a short dilated abdomen ; 
in the 9, the vertex is elongated into a cone directed backwards. Tropido- 
deres Bojel, from jMacassar; hrachyptenis, from Sumatra; Maclottii,
