ENTOMOLOGY OF AUSTRALIA. 
PLATE VII. 
The first figure belongs to the last division, and is called the Slender long¬ 
horned Walking-stick, or Bacteria fragilis, Sp. 14. Its general colour is blackish 
green, with a white line on each side of the head ; legs and antennse rather 
long and slender. 
In the Rev. F. T. Hope’s collection, wbo is uncertain from what part of 
Australia. 
The second figure is remarkable for the peculiar form of the wings, and is 
called the Rose-winged tailed Spectre, or Diura roseipennis, Sp. 10. The 
wings are very small, with the costal area projecting slightly beyond, and 
pointed, and are of a pale pink ; while the costal area is green, with a yellow 
base; the tegmina, body and the legs, are rich verditer green; the abdomen 
has the appearance of three narrow longitudinal yellow lines, one placed in 
the centre, with one on each side; the mesothorax is of moderate length, 
very narrow, gradually wider posteriorly, but keeled down the middle, with 
the sides sloping and margined, also covered with minute tubercles; the 
antennae are extremely short and thick ; the legs moderate and simple. 
The specimen is in the British Museum, and I believe was brought by Mr. 
Hunter, probably from the north-west coast. 
The third is the Brown short-horned Walking-stick, or Bacillus brunneus, 
Sp. 15, which is also a wingless species, in general yellowish brown, rather 
lighter on the mesothorax, but the metathorax is tinged with red; the legs 
are i-ather short, and very much dentated beneath the thighs. 
This insect was sent from the Swan River Colony by Alexander Collie, Esq., 
to Mr. Children, in whose possession it now remains.
