Abstract

Short flat-topped spines are found in four tribes of Phasmida, widely separated in the traditional subdivision of the order. Pinnulae occur in Phyllium siccifolium. A survey is given of other surface projections of various types found in different families. A table of subfamilies is given, indicating some taxonomic problems.
