THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 29 i 



numerary joint which is terminated by a bristle. Eyes situated imme- 

 diately behind base of antenna?, on outer edge of head, appearing as a 

 black dot with three other dots in a row behind. Prothoracic segment 

 widest : mesothoracic and metathoracic segments about same width, and 

 a little narrower ; segments 5 to 7 about equal, and much narrower than 

 thoracic segments; 8 to 1 1 successively and gradually narrowing, 12 a 

 little longer than n; 13 widened, especially posteriorly, narrowing an- 

 teriorly, incised on lateral edge. All the segments nearly the same length, 

 the posterior ones more elongate for their width, head longer than pro- 

 thoracic segment. Surface of body very thinly clothed with a few fine 

 moderately long hairs, some on head. Feet and legs entirely absent. 



Described from an alcoholic specimen in a glycerine mount. A 

 second specimen, about the same size, has the segments more approxi- 

 mated, body hardly as tapering posteriorly, lateral incisures hardly as 

 deep, and the anal segment not widened. It is, perhaps, the same species.
