the metathorax u third, anterior, row in aihlitinn. The i'|iiniernnj of'tiic nii'sotiiorax 

 bears three bristles, one near the njnier and two near tlie ventral edge. On tlie 

 epiiueniru of the metathorax tlicre are two vertical rows of bristles, the first row 

 situated before the middle containing four or five bristles, and the second row 

 extending from the stigma downwards containing four. 



Abdomen. — The abdominal tergites bear each two rows of bristles in the ? , tlie 

 anterior row being incomplete on the middle seg-ments, while in the S the anterior 

 row is present only on the first segment. At tlie ajiical edge of the first segment 

 there are three very short teeth on each side, while the following four segments 

 bear one or two teeth. The stigma stands a very little below the second bristle, 

 its diameter not being quite twice the length of the groove of this bristle. The 

 seventh tergite bears one stout apical bristle on each side. The first abdominal 

 sternite of the ? bears a lateral row of short hairs, with another row of three or 

 four in front of it, besides some veutral hairs. In the c? these ventral ones are 

 present, but the lateral rows are represented only by one or two very tiny Jiairs. 

 The sternites 3 to 7 bear on each side a row of three bristles in the d and four or 

 five in the ?. 



Legs. — The bristles of the forecoxa are numerous and stout. The hindcoxa 

 is devoid of a comb. There are three bristles of about the same length posteriorly 

 at the apex of the hindcoxa. The hindferaur bears on the onterside five hairs, of 

 which the two last are longest, there being on the inuerside three short hairs, one 

 near the base, the second in the middle, and the third near the apex. The tibiae 

 have several hairs at the ventral edge, and bear on the outerside two rows of 

 longer and stouter ones. There are six pairs of dorsal bristles on the hindtibia, 

 besides a very stout hair before the third and sixth pairs. The longest apical 

 dorsal bristle does not reach to the apex of the hiudtarsal segment, wliile the longest 

 apical ventral bristle reaches beyond that segment. Above the ventral apical pair 

 of bristles of the hindtibia there is another pair, of which the longer bristle is longer 

 than the tibia is broad. The fifth tarsal segment bears three heavy bristles on each 

 side, upon which follow a fine hair, a stout bristle, and a long hair ; the two veutral 

 apical bristles are unequal in length, but stand on a level with one another. The 

 measurements of the tarsi are : — • 



Modified Segments. — The clasper of the c? is about as long as the manubrium 

 (m), being triangularly produced at the upper corner (PI. X. fig. 35, ('1.) ; it bears 

 a number of hairs on the upperside and at tlie apex, and one ventrally near tlie 

 base of the finger. The finger (f) is slender, somewhat lanceolate in outline, and 

 projects a little beyond the apex of the clasper. The finger bears near the base two 

 hairs, of which the upper one is the longer, a number of short hairs at the apex, and 

 a few more farther down. The manubrium is slender. The ninth sternite (Fl. X. 

 fig. 39) is not completely divided ventrally, the two halves being proximally 

 connected by a bar of chitin. The eighth tergite of the ? (PI. IX. fig. 2.S), drawn 

 from dissection, is strongly angulated. There are several hairs above the stigma, 

 a row from the stigma downwards, another row at the apical edge above and below
