 THE AREA INDICATED ON FIG. e. 



The labrum (fig. G8, b) has a wide, shallow notch, with several 

 unequal teeth and numerous short hairs on each side. 



Mandible (fig. 68<?) has four acute teeth and a rounded lower 

 point, which is densely hairy. There is a small tooth between the 

 third and fourth large teeth and another above the lower point. 



Maxilla (fig. G8d) has a nearly straight edge, very slightly notched 

 below the upper pair of spines. It is set with many crowded spines, 

 in pairs. 



Cirrus i has equal rami of about 16 segments. Cirrus ii longer, 

 with rami of 26 and 24 segments. Cirrus iii has rami of about 32 

 segments, which have a few minute, multicuspid spinules distally. 

 Cirrus iv has segments set with spike-like spinules as figured for 

 B. hameri, but covering a larger portion of the segments, closely and
