vcntnil cuii' being the longest. The intcrspaoe between this liristle ami the next 

 long cue is a little wider than the interspace between the second and third. Above 

 the antennal groove there are two or three more hairs, but there are no farther 

 hairs on the sides. In the c? the dorsal depression of the occiput is covered with 

 nuniorous very tine hairs. Above the antennal groove there is a regular row of short 

 and tine spine-like liairs which stand close together. This row extends in the 

 S nearl.v to the groove in which the antenna i.s inserted, while in the ¥ the row 

 is much shorter, being restricted to the hinder third of the occiput. The second 

 segment of the maxillary palpus is twice as long as the third and one-tliird 

 shorter than the fourth. The labial palpus consists of tive segments, the second 

 and third being the sliortest. 



Thorax. — The prouotum bears one row of short bristles and some additional 

 ones on the back. Between the row of long bristles of the mesonotnm and the 

 hinder edge there is a row of about nine long and very thin hair-like spines. The 

 epimerum of the mesothorax bears four bristles, two in the middle and two behind. 

 The metanotnm bears a row of long bristles, and an abbreviated row of shorter ones 

 in front of it, and some additional hairs on the back. The epimerum of the 

 metathorax bears two or three hairs in front and two or three from the stigma 

 downwards, the uppermost anterior bristle being on a level with the stigma. 



Abdomen. — The abdominal tergites bear each one mw of long bristles, with 

 a rather lung tiiin hair between each two, as on the thoracic tergites. In the ? 

 there is on all tergites an additional row of shorter ones, which extends only half- 

 wsiy down the sides. In the c? this additional row is present on the first tergite. 

 The seventh tergite bears a long apical bristle on each side, accom])anied by a very 

 short hair. The stigmata of the abdomen are more proximal and more dorsal in 

 the ? than in the <?, standing above the first bristle in the <? and on a level with 

 or above the second in the ? on segments 3 to 7. The basal sternite l)ears 

 only one minute ventral hair. The other sternites bear in the <S two or tliree, in 

 the ? three or four, seldom five, on each si<le. 



Legs. — The hairs on the forecoxa are not numerous. The mid- and hindcoxae 

 have posteriorly at the apex two bristles, the upper one being the longer. There 

 is uo comb on the hindcoxa. The hindfemur bears on the outerside one 

 subventral bristle near the apex, and one or two lateral ones near the base, and 

 on the innerside a series of eight or nine. The tibiae have hairs on the 

 ventral side, and on the outer side one row of bristles. At the dorsal edge the 

 tibiae bear seven pairs of bristles, those of the sixth pair being about the same 

 size as those of the third. The long apical dorsal bristle of the foretibia reaches 

 beyond the second tarsal segment, while the corresponding bristle of the hindtibia 

 reaches to the base of the second segment. The longer bristle of the fifth pair of 

 the hindtiliia is about three times as long as the tibia is broad in the middle. The 

 measurement nf the tarsal segments are : —
