PLATE XIV. 
Fig. 1. Sphongophorus ballista, page 78. The cephalic and the pronotal posterior horns 
almost meet, but the variation in length is not constant. 
Fig. la. The tip of the cephalic horn is grooved. 
Fig. 2. Sphongophonis clavager , page 78. A male specimen, which wants the erect 
caudal process. 
Fig. 2 a. The tip of the cephalic horn as seen in the last insect. 
Fig. 3. Sjj hong op horns jjaradoxa, page 79. The form of the cephalic horn is inconstant. 
The female is rather smaller than the male and sometimes wants the clubbed 
extremity cleft like a fish-tail as shown’ in' mry figure representing the male 
insect. 
Fig. 3 a. Front view showing the head and frons and part of the erect cephalic horn, 
also the first and second tibiae and tarsus. 
Fig. ob , 3c. Details of the legs. The tibia spreads on each side like a leaf, and the 
tarsi are very slender. 
Fig. 4. Sphongophonis nodosus, page 79. Imago with its gnarled head-process, which 
has much the appearance of a bird’s excretion or a dark fungus. 
Fig. 4 a. Head and part of the pronotum. 
Fig. 4i h. The top of the cephalic horn with its truncate extremity. 
Fig. 5. Spitongophorus bi-clavatus , page 79. Imago with its curious fungi-form dila¬ 
tions like nodules of bark. These excrescences are hollow, otherwise it would 
seem to be an impossibility for the insect to keep its equilibrium in flight. The 
ala? or wings are well developed. 
Fig. 6. Spthongophorus dorsalis, page 80. This insect has much the appearance of a 
fragment of variously coloured lichen. 
Fig. 6c/. The finely prickly character of the frons and the upright procephalon will 
carry* out the deceptive appearance of lichen-covered bark. • ,
