" npper " in a specimen monnted on a slide with the legs pressed down). In the 

 S the naid-tibia bears on the nnder side a short, stont and blnnt apical spine, and 

 the hind-tibia two such spines, while in the ? both these tibiae have two spines. 

 The apical bristles of the upper surface (text-fig. 2) are somewhat thicker than the 

 other bristles. The tarsi are slender, being especially characterised by the first 

 segment (te.\t-fig. 2) bearing a short, thin, pointed subapical ventral bristle and 

 near it a long and slender one. 



The c? organ of copulation does not quite reach to the centre of the seventh 

 sternite ; its ape.K is ronnded off, not sharply pointed, and, when the organ is lying 

 in the groove, curved frontad.

The immature specimens which we have bear very few bristles as compared 

 with the adnit examples, but can be recognised as belonging to this species by the 

 long bristles being fuunel-shaped at the tip, and the first tarsal segment bearing 

 two slender bristles ventrally near the apex. 



We have 1 ^J and 2 ? ? from Khandala, Bombay Presidency (26. iv. 1911), 

 and two immature specimens from tlie same place, found in November 1911 on 

 a bat, all collected by Prof. V. Assmuth.

(J. The general facies of this species is almost the same as in the preceding 

 cue. But the bristles are obviously shorter and less numerous, the prothorax is
