surface flattened but not grooved, dilated on the inner side, the 

 dilation ending anteriorly in a strong tooth against which the lower 

 jaw closes. Lower jaw with 2 large strong teeth and a small tooth 

 between them, just in front of the hind one ; this hind tooth 

 recurved at the apex, and provided in one of the jaws with a minute 

 additional tooth on its anterior surface ; the large anterior tooth 

 straight, scarcely recurved at the apex.

 bristles on the legs, head-plate and mandibles, tinged with reddish, 

 those on the abdomen pale yellow. Head-plate infuscate just behind 

 the pale anterior border. Malleoli pallid.

. Flagellum reaching back beyond the middle of the 

 mandible but terminating some distance in front of the eye-tubercle. 

 Basal enlargement high, rounded, the upper edge forming a short 

 sharp ridge in the posterior part. Procurrent portion of flagellum 

 extremely short, the anterior bend situated above or very slightly 

 anterior to the first tooth of the jaw and very close to the basal 

 enlargement. Recurrent portion almost touching the basal enlarge- 

 ment, compressed from above and below ; the anterior three-fourths 

 nearly straight (except quite anteriorly), becoming slightly narrower 

 posteriorly (when seen from above), where it is bifid, the median 

 branch forming a short sharp tooth, while the lateral, which forms 

 the distal fourth of the recurrent portion, is much longer, lightly 

 sinuate above, with the apex laterally compressed and dilated above 

 into a knife-like edge. 



Upper jaw of iwtmliblcx with the first and second tooth strong, 

 straight, followed by a pair of smaller teeth (the first of which is 

 very minute), and another large one at the end of the single series.
