NOTE. -Though this species belongs to the sit-bruber group, it has 

 the tergites slightly keeled, a thing till now observed only in the 

 species belonging to the cancroid ft, group, with the exception of a 

 South American species, L'li. satanas With, also belonging to the 

 fiiibr nber group. The keels in Ch. parailo.nis are certainly only 

 slightly developed, and are seen best when the animal is examined 

 in alcohol, but they are nevertheless present. The species, on 

 account of the slender palps, has much in common with several 

 other forms of the stibrnber group, for instance Ch. angulatus 

 1-jllingsen, but that species is much larger and has still more slender 

 palps.

Transvaal Province : Johannesburg (H. A. Fry), 1 3 ; Natal 

 Province: Richmond (Rev. J. R. Ward), 1 ?, 1 jun., in beehives ; 

 Pietermaritzburg (C. Fuller), 1 $ , 1 2 . 



The immature specimen from Richmond has the exceedingly 

 coarse granulation, which is found on the palps in the adult speci- 

 mens, much less developed, and present only, in a smaller degree, 

 on the inner side of femur and tibia. I have not been able, with 

 certainty, to detect eyes, either in the adult specimens or in the 

 immature one. It is interesting to note that the specimens from 

 Richmond were taken in beehives, as were the type specimens. 



During the printing I have received from Mr. Godfrey a couple of
