PLATE II. 
The first figure of this Plate is termed the Pink-winged Spectre, or Po- V’ . a. 
dacanthus Typhon, Sp. 4, and is one of the showiest species, owing to its 
size, and the fine pink colour which tinges the hyaline wings; the costal area 
is of a pale green, with the base pink ; the tegmina are of a pale green, very 
much ridged in the centre, and darker in colour than the other parts; the 
legs are reddish pink, rather short; the anterior have elevated lines, while the 
four posterior ones are spined beneath ; the mesothorax is very short, narrow 
before, and covered with numerous tubercles ; the body long, yellowish at the 
base and pink at the tip, but the hypopygium or last ventral segment is green, 
with two leaflets at the tip, which are pinkish green ; the head with three di¬ 
stinct stemmata. 
The figure is taken from a specimen in the collection of J. G. Children, Esq.; 
it is that of a female, brought to this country by A. Cunningham, Esq., who 
states that they are found on the brushes on the shores of Port Jackson, 
“ north shore,” in the month of December. The British Museum however 
possesses two specimens, which Mr. Hunter deposited there ; one of them is 
that of a male, and differs from the other sex in having a pair of forceps fixed 
at the tip of the abdomen ; the leaflets also differ from those of the female in 
being broader at the tip than the base, while those of the female are of an 
equal width throughout. 
The second figure is the Long-homed dirty IValking-stick, or Bacteria coe- 
nosa, Sp. 13 ; it is that of a wingless species, and belongs to the last division; 
its colour is yellowish brown, with the tip of the abdomen green; the hypo¬ 
pygium is yellow; the legs are of moderate length, but rather darker in colour 
than the body, and hairy; the antennae are very long and setaceous. 
The Rev. F. T. Hope possesses the specimen from which the figure was 
taken, but it is uncertain from what part it was brought.
