Occurrence. Only a solitary specimen of this form, a fully grown ovigerotis 

 female, has hitherto come under my notice. It was found in the same sample 

 as the last-named species.

Remarks. Having now examined the true Ameira tenuicornis of Scott, 

 which will he described below, I propose to name the present species as above.

Remarks. I think I am right in identifying the form described in the 

 present account on page 220 as Ameira tenella with A. attenuata of I. Thompson. 

 The figures given by that author are certainly far from being accurate, but there 

 are so many points of agreement that, on a closer comparison, I am led to the 

 conclusion that these 2 forms are in all probability identical.

Specific Characters. Female. Body extremely slender and narrow, sub- 

 linear in form, with the anterior division only slightly broader than the posterior, 

 the two being of about equal length. Rostral prominence very small. Last caudal 

 segment a little shorter than the preceding one. Caudal rami shorter than the 

 anal segment and only slightly longer than they are broad, apical setse however 

 of quite unusual length, the inner medial one being even longer than the whole
