PLATE LXL 
ILLUSTRATIONS OF TWO SPECIES OP SPECTRE INSECTS. 
In the first volume of this work (plate 8) a representation was 
given of an insect from my own collection, belonging to the family 
Phasmidse, to which, upon the information of Dr, Burmeister, the 
nameofPhasma (Craspedonia) gibbosa* was given, with a reference 
to his Handb. d. Ent. 2, 575, and with the habitat of “ Brasilia, 
teste Burmeistero.” 
n It appears, however, from Dr, Erichson’s Bericht for 1841, 
p, 72, that the insect figured by me is distinct from BurmeistePs 
D. gibbosa, described from the Berlin Cabinet, and that, instead 
of being Brazilian, it is an African species. Dr. Erichson doubts 
the correctness of my description of the rudimental wing-covers and 
wings, as well as of the four-jointed anterior tarsi. My specimen 
is, however, fortunately, perfect (except in wanting a few of the 
terminal joints of one of the antennse), and possesses only four 
joints to each of the fore-tarsi, and the rudimental tegmina are 
perfectly distinct, and entirely free^ and capable of being elevated by 
introducing a pin beneath them, being about one-sixth part of an 
inch long; the winglet, although very much more minute, has the 
outer edgeyree. 
It becomes, therefore, necessary to apply a new specific name to 
the insect figured in Vol. I., and for which, in allusion to the 
regularly-curved margins of the abdominal segments, the name of 
DIAPHERODES (CRASPEDONIA) UNDULATA, IK., (Vol. I., PI. viii.) 
may be applied. It seems to approach the Cyphocranapunctipes, 
Serville (Orthopt. p. 239), which is also a native of the coast of 
Africa, but differs in the spines of the thorax and feet, the under 
surface of the thoracic segments in my insect being perfectly smooth 
and free from spines.
