antecedent or subsequent naturalist. It" this should prove a new species, we would 

 propose the name nesuphila. We subjoin the following description: — 



S. brunnea, robnsta; ca] tree minute punctato, segmento basali mazimo; mandibulis magnis, 



pun magno et tuberculo minimo ; labio lato, valde con vexo, punctato; laminis dentali- 



l>us longitudine fere bislitioribus, singula dentibua .">, obtusis, coadunatia armata; autennis autice 

 pnbescentibus j pedibua robustis; pedibus postremia gracilibus, supra complanatis, articulo basali tibiali 

 vix longiore, margins interiore superiore spina 1, superficiebua interiore et ioferiore singula spinia 

 duobus-, proceasu angulari, eloi nis duobua armato ; appendicibua analibus lateralibua dense rude 



puuctatis, obtusia, apice decurvato aliquando spina obtuaa; squama preanali media levitei canaliculate; 

 stemis punctatis. 



A- our -; i cimen has been preserved for some years in alcohol, the color may differ 

 materially from that of the living animal. The antennae both being broken, we are 

 unable to give the number of joints composing them. The scuto-episcutal sutures are 

 distinct, as are also the sterno-episternal. The lateral margins of the scuta are much 



thickened : the posterior angles of some of the hinder ;s rounded. The last pair of 



feet are very Blender when compared with the body. The lateral anal appendages 

 have a corroded appearance ami are very dark colored. Their apice- aie very obtuse 

 and strongly curved downwards, one of them being armed with a small and verj 

 blunt spine, which is indeed more of a tubercle than a spine. The preanal scale is 

 somewhat elongate, narrowed, and with its angles rounded posteriorly.

The scuta have apparently been bordered posteriorly with green and the antennae 



light yellow, hut long preservation in spirits has rendered the color indefinite. Scuto- 

 episcutal sutures traceable, divergent posteriorly ; sterno-episternal very well marked. 

 '1'. i minal scutum large, its posterior margin slightly arched, its breadth nearly twice 

 its length. Preanal scale short, much narrowed posteriorly, and with its posterior 

 angles slightly rounded. This may be S. Tongana, Gervais, Apt. iv. 276, hut we can- 

 not decide from M. Gervais' description.
