THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 177 



which are small, not prominent ; antenna as long as head and prothorax, 

 i8-jointed; ist cylindrical, thicker ; 2nd very short ; 3rd as long as ist, 

 the rest shorter, thicker on tip, the last one ovoid ; max. palpi 5-jointed, 

 the last one fusiform, longer ; labial palpi 3-jointed, the last longest ; 

 labrum rounded ; epistom short, broad ; prothorax narrower and shorter 

 than the head, quadrangular, sides straight, front angles sharp, hind 

 angles rounded, a transversal sulcus in the frontal third ; mesothorax 

 quadrangular, longer than prothorax, near the front margin on each side 

 an oblique impression, and behind a small horizontal one ; metathorax 

 similar, but shorter ; no traces of wings. Abdomen with 9 oblong dorsal 

 segments, the 8th shorter, apical margin notched ; 9th large, conical, with 

 a strong longitudinal impression, nearer to the right ; below 8 segments, 

 the last large, ovoid ; appendages strong, very villous ; apical joint thinner, 

 cylindrical ; the basal a little curvated ; legs strong, villous, femora of fore 

 and hind legs and basal joint of tarsi of fore legs largely inflated. 



Hab. Four specimens in Prussian amber ; I have little doubt that it 

 belongs to Oligotoma ; the apparent asymmetry of the last dorsal segment 

 makes me believe that the appendages are also asymmetrical, as I had 

 seen them so when studying the specimens ; but these parts were not well 

 visible. I have amended the description after manuscript notes, namely, 

 the antennse, which are there given with 19 joints, because the socket is 

 counted as ist joint. Since then more specimens have been found, but no 

 winged ones.

Length of the body 9 mill.; with wings, 12 mil.; exp. of wings nearly 

 20. The measures are only approximative, the condition of the specimen 

 not allowing more. 



Male. Body leather-yellow, somewhat shining, villous ; head about 

 quadrangular, rounded behind, rather flattened above, a little depressed 

 transversely behind the eyes ; antennse broken (Burmeister quotes 17 

 joints, Savigny figures only 15) ; eyes large, black, notched before; max.
