5» . Colour : head fuscous ; mandibles yellow, obscurely banded ; 

 palpus with distal half of femur and greater part of patella fuscous 

 with pale extremities, tibia and tarsus entirely flavous ; legs yellow, 

 with femora of 3rd and 4th and to a less extent the patellae infuscate 

 in the middle. Abdominal terga greyish black, sides of abdomen 

 covered with silky grevish-yellow hairs. 



Width of head about two-thirds the length of the patella and as 

 long as the tibia of the palp and of 4th leg. Mandibles with upper 

 jaw armed with two large and widely separated minor teeth behind 

 the 3rd tooth ; lower jaw armed with three minor teeth. Patella 

 of palp armed beneath externally with about 4 shorter spines and 

 internally with longer spines ; tibia armed below with 9 pairs of 

 longer and shorter strong spines, the longest of which only exceed 

 the height of the segment at its narrowest part. Legs longer than 

 in G. fatalis, bnt with the same spine-armature, except that there 

 is a posterior basal spine on tarsus of 2nd and 3rd legs ; tarsi 

 much more scantily clothed beneath than in G. fatalis, the hairs 

 being much fewer, short, and subspiniform. Malleoli long ; blade of 

 external malleolus about twice the width of the ocular tubercle. 



3 . Resembling the female in colour. Mandibles and flagellum 

 practically as in G. macmahoni, but with three minor teeth on the 

 lower jaw. Palpi shorter than in G. macmahoni; the patella barely 

 twice the width of the head-plate, which is distinctly less than half 

 the length of tibia and tarsus taken together. Spine-armature of 

 tarsi of 2nd and 3rd legs as in $ • Blade of external malleolus 

 less than half the width of the head-plate.
