older ones the posterior and anterior margin of the same shape, the greatest width 

 being in the middle. Textnre finely transversally wrinkled; the shield, the rostrum 

 and the coxae finely punctured. 



The dorsal side bears small, blunt, hairy and shghtly curved hairs. The shield 

 (PI. 2, fig. 20) is almost pentagonal; the anterior side slightly concave, the antero- 

 lateral corners obliquely truncated, the lateral angles broadly rounded, the posterior 

 sides convex, forming together a nearly semicircular line, with an incision at the poste- 

 rior end, on each side of the pseudostigmatic organs ; the posterior angle broad and 

 rounded, with a median incision. The shield is, as above mentioned, finely punc- 

 tured, and exhibits furthermore two median longitudinal rows of rounded, depressed 

 areas, 7 — 8 in each row. 



Pseudostigmatic organs. Two pairs of them ; one pair, situated close 

 together in deep pores far forward, half as far away from the anterior as from the 

 posterior side, is setiform and of even lenght throughout; the other pair is placed in the 

 posterior corner, in the two round lobes formed by the three incisions; they are twice as 

 long as the anterior pair and gradually tapering in the distal half. The shield is pro- 

 vided with the usual 3 pairs of hairy, blunt bristles, placed in the anterior half at 

 the margin and increasing slightly in length forwards. 



Eyes. One pair of submarginal eyes, on a level with coxae II. Pseudocapi- 

 tulum of the usual shape. The claw of the 4**^ Joint of the palps is stout and 

 deeply bifurcate ; the 2 dorsal hairs of the maxilho situated far forward ; 5^^'' Joint 

 low, but anteriorly projecting in a small conical appendage. Sense organ as in 

 Erythrceus kibonotensis Tgdh. 



Ventral side. The coxal shields finely punctured; coxa I with one long hair; 

 coxa II with two, one anteriorly and distally, directed outwards, the other in the 

 middle and directed backwards; coxa III with two hairs, one as the first hair of 

 coxa II, the other near the anteiior side, proximaUy. 



The legs do not exhibit anything peculiar.

Larva. 



Length from 1 mm. excl. rostrum. Greatest width from O,« mm. 



Shape oval in the younger specimens, more ovoid in the older ones. 



Textur e. The shield, the rostrum with the palps and the coxae finely poratc. 

 The rest of the body is finely transversally striated or wrinkled. 



Dorsal side. 



The shield (PI. 2, fig. 19) is nearly pentagonal, with the top backwards. The 

 anterior side slightly concave, the other sides convex; all angles rounded; the 

 posterior one with a small median incision. The two pairs of pseudostigmatic 

 organs are situated, one a little in front of the centre, the other close to the poste- 

 rior corner.
