$ . Flag ell um moderately long, reaching back as far as the middle 

 of the mandible. Basal enlargement high, its posterior margin very 

 convex, its upper margin much straighter and strongly sloping 

 forwards, forming a blunt angle with the posterior margin. Pro- 

 current portion of nagellum short, the anterior bend high, situated 

 just over the first tooth of the upper jaw. Recurrent portion sinuate 

 above behind the middle and again below near the apex, the whole 

 anterior portion (that lying above and before the basal enlargement) 

 much flattened ; the middle portion cylindrical ; the distal third of 

 the recurrent portion strongly compressed laterally in its basal half, 

 but finely subulate in the apical half. This distal third is sinuated 

 throughout its length below, while its upper edge is minutely serrated 

 nearly to the apex, the serration commencing anteriorly along the 

 outer side of the upper surface but crossing over to the inner side of 

 this surface posteriorly. Seen from above (fig. 17 a) the flagellum 

 appears broadest anteriorly and becomes gradually narrower up to 

 the commencement of the distal third, but seen from the side it 

 appears thickest in the middle (fig. 17). The anterior portion lies 

 some little distance above the basal enlargement. 



Upper jaw with 3 large teeth in the single row ; between the 

 second and third large tooth are 2 small teeth, of which the anterior 

 one is very minute ; the 2 anterior large teeth confluent at their 

 base and stumpy. Terminal fang very short, curved, its upper
