Diagnosis. Belated to Spirobolus facatus Karsch, but the anterior 

 part of segments with a transverse sulcus; segments visibly divided ; 

 legs shorter; greeuishblack, legs brown, joints ringed with paler. 



Type. Female, II. S. Nat. Museum. 



Habitat. Paramaribo, Surinam. 



Description. Dark greenish black, posterior border of segments yel- 

 lowish ; antenna* dark ; legsbrowiiish, last tarsal joint pale, others ringed. 

 Bather slender, anterior segments scarcely attenuated. Vertex smooth, 

 sulcus deep, subcontinuous with clypeal; clypeus not deeply emargi- 

 n ate, sulcus small, foveoloe 2 + 2. Antenna? short and thick, reaching 

 second segment. Ocelli 40-45, in 7 series ; patch subtriangular. Seg- 

 ment smooth, sparsely punctate; anterior part Avith a transverse sul- 

 cus which ends in under pore, not striate beneath; posterior part with 

 short stria 1 - beneath. Sides of first segment rounded, not acute, a mar- 

 ginal sulcus. Bepugnatorial pore small, placed on -anterior part; sul- 

 cus bent. Anal segment produced into a wide, flat, obtusely angled 

 mucro, which passes beyond valves; anal valves scarcely margined, 

 not punctate; anal scale large, obtusely angled. Legs not quite ex- 

 tending beyond sides of body. Segments 40-48. Length, 43-50 11111 '; 

 width, 4-5""". 



Described from several females most of which are broken ; they were 

 found in the vial containing 8. surinamensis, without any locality.

 ments paler; antennae and legs reddish brown. Slender, anterior seg- 

 ments scarcely attenuated. Vertex smooth, sulcus very shallow; cly- 

 peus moderately emarginate, foveola? 2+2, sulcus shallow, extending to 

 opposite bases of antenna'; between antennae are two oblique sulci 

 (j?\)', antenna' short, clavate, reaching second segment. Ocelli only 

 represented by a black area, in which are indistinct traces of ocelli; 

 colored area subcircular, partly covered by first segment. Segments 

 rather deeply divided, smooth; stria 1 of posterior part not extending 

 beyond length of legs. Lateral border of first segment rounded, a very 

 short marginal sulcus. Spine of anal segment large and long, tip 

 slightly recurved; anal valves produced in under spine, very strongly
