(I'l. 7. ti«. (i.) 



A Single individnal male from Ardea pwpurea and t\AO males from Fseudogyps 

 (ifricdinis. A well marked small Lcemohothrium distinctly differing from any other 

 species so far described. Characterized by the short, broad, blunt head with straight 

 occipital margin, by the numerous unusually long hairs of the body, and by the 

 sharply- marked black bands and blotches. 



Male. Length 5 nnn., width \M mm., robust-bodied, long-haired and sharply- 

 patterned. Head, length 1 mm., width l mm., clypeal front short, broad and 

 squareh' truncate, with numerons spiny hairs; anterior lateral protuberances strong 

 and temporal angles not projecting and pointed but blunt and obliquely truncate, 

 occipital margin straight, the head being thiis square-locking with a short broad 

 anterior pi'ojection; numerous long hairs rising from antero-lateral protuberances and 

 froTU temples; eyes small but distinct; strong, sharply delimited, narrow, black, lateral 

 blotches and occipital border. Prothorax square in front but narrower behind with 

 angular margins; no marked lateral concavities; three long hairs on each side; strong 

 narrow black blotch, narrowly divided in center, on middle of each lateral margin; 

 narrow mesial longitudinal uncolored line. Metathorax also with narrow mesial 

 uncolored longitudinal line and with narrow% sharply marked black lateral borders 

 expanding into a pair of small angular blotches in antero-lateral angles; long hairs 

 rising from lateral margins, but none along posterior margin. Legs all sharply mar- 

 ked with black, most conspicuous as a black margin on outer side of femur and a 

 black ring around distal end of femur. Abdomen, with central brownish blotches, 

 traversed on Segments 2 — 4 and on part of segment ,5 by narrow mesial longitudinal 

 uncolored line; segments 2—4 with series of long hairs, rising from pustulations, along 

 posterior margins; on other segments hairs but not pustulated; in postero-lateral 

 angle of each of segments 2 — 8 a very distinct circular pustulation bearing a long 

 hair; along each side a narrow clear sub-marginal longitudinal line; small short hairs 

 rising from lateral margins; posterior margin segment flatly rounded with short hairs. 



The description has been made from the specimen fonnd on Ardea purpurea. 

 The two individuals taken from Pseudogyps do not show the pustulations so distinctly 

 nor the sub-marginal longitudinal uncolored line, and are a little larger, each being 

 about 6 mm. long instead of 5 mm.
