Ohs. This immense insect, which is nearly a foot long, is now 
for the first time described, although it seems to be not uncommon 
in New South Wales. Although much larger, it comes very near 
to the P. Gigas of Linneeus and Stoll, and like it, belongs to 
Lichtenstein’s division, thus characterized, Alata elytris alisque 
in utroque sexu.”

Obs. I have been thus particular in the description of this rare 
insect, in order to afford as much information as possible to the 
naturalist, who may be inclined to investigate the natural aiTange- 
ment of the Phasmina.
