 In the same tube was a much smaller and younger example, evidently of the same 

 species, judging from its narrowly elongated form, but this example had imperfect 

 antennae so that is was not possible to fully describe it. This species has a marked

 its reddish colour, by the relative length in the antennal segments, the curious trun- 

 cate spines on the tibia and the singular form of the digitules.

Possibly the same as the last, but immature and also imperfect. It is of a 

 much brighter red than M. Sjostedti, but this is probably due to age, and the appar- 

 ently complete absence of farinose covering.
