H. carinata, P. Kramer. — A single specimen of an Oribatid found 

 amongst moss has been identified as H. carinata, P. Kramer (see 

 " Tierreich," p. 63). The following note refers to some of the points 

 in which it contrasts with the allied species H. bistriata (Nic). The 

 most striking difference in the cephalothorax is the presence of two 

 small hair-bearing processes on the front margin of the raised pait 

 behind the rostrum, much as in some species of Nothrus. The central 

 ridge is not straight sided, but curves posteriorly towards the pseudo- 

 stigmata. The abdomen is more ovate, and less truncated on its 

 hinder margin, where there are three pairs of small prominences 

 furnished with hairs (these are broken off in my specimen). The 

 marginal band is not ridged, nor is there a circular depression at the 

 end of the dorsum. The marginal hairs are long, and lie close 

 against the sides of the body ; there is another row of hairs on each 

 outer side o the median carinae (Plate 17, fig. 1).
