Male Genital Armature of the Dermaptera. Part II. 535 



A. maritima and A. mauritanica ; in A. kudagse they are gently 

 sinuate, as they are also in A. pagana. They are notably straight 

 and narrow in my specimens of A. verhoeffi, but this is not clearly 

 shown in Zacher's figure ; my specimens were from the same tube 

 and locality as Zacher's type (PL X, figs. 9 and 10, and PL XI, 

 figs. 1 and 2). 



Anisolabis pagana sp. n. 



Allied to A. turgida Burr and A. quserens Burr ; differs from 

 the former in the rounded sides of the sixth to ninth segments of 

 the abdomen of the male ; from both in the more strongly punctu-

 Apex of abdomen. 



late, and narrowed ninth sternite of the male, with truncate apex ; 

 in common with both, the segments of the abdomen are almost 

 smooth 



Male. — Length of body, 10 '5 mm. ; ditto forceps, 2*75 mm. 



Range. — West Africa : Cameroon, two males (in Berlin 

 Museum) (PL X, fig. 8). 



Third Group. 



In which the metaparameres are of intermediate length. This 

 group is a difficult one, as it is almost impossible to resist the 

 temptation to make too many genera ; for a second time, I am 

 obliged to treat the presence of the virga as of mere subgeneric or 

 specific character, and in two instances at least we have apparently 

 dimorphism in the shape of the metaparameres. 



The first few genera have the metaparameres acuminate, whereas 

 in the remainder they are blunt, or rounded at the tips, or merely 

 narrowed, sometimes to a blunt point, but not acuminate ; some- 

 times they are of about equal breadth almost to the ends, and then
