in fnnit, an oliliqiie row of three behind the raiddle, and a subapical row. Tlie 

 interspaces between these bristles of the subajncal row are nearly the same. 

 The second segment of the antenna bears an apical row of long hairs. The clnb 

 is short. The first segment of the maxillary jialpus is of the same length as the 

 second, and is a little shorter than the fonrth, but longer than the third. The 

 rostrnm reaches to the apex of the coxa, the labial palpus consisting of four long 

 segments. 



Thorax. — The pronotnra bears two rows of bristles and a comb of twenty-seven 

 teeth in the d and of thirty to thirty-five teeth in the ? . The mesonotum of the c? 

 bears three rows of bristles and a row at the base, besides some hairs on the back. 

 In the ? it is hairy from the base to the last row of bristles, there being in addition 

 a subapical row of four to seven long hair-like spines. The metanotura, which is 

 little over one-half the length of the mesonotum, has two rows of bristles and some 

 hairs besides. The episternum and epimerum of the mesothorax bear together 

 twenty bristles or more, four of these standing in a row at the ventral edge. The 

 episternum and sternum of the metathorax have together a vertical row of seven 

 to nine bristles, while (Jie epimerum bears seventeen to twenty-seven, there being 

 more in the ? than in the S. 



Abdomen. — The abdominal tergites bear two rows of bristles, the anterior row 

 being reduced in the <S , and only vestigial on segments 6 to 7. The small hairs 

 between the bristles of the second row are short. The seventh tergite bears in the 

 <S three long apical bristles situated on a triple cone, the middle one being longer 

 than the mesonotum and more than twice the length of the upper, while the lower 

 one is one-third shorter than the middle one. In the ? there are fonr bristles, the 

 third being the longest, the fonrth the shortest, while the first and second are not 

 much shorter than the third. The tergites 1 to 5 bear each a comb, as follows : — 



The stigma is small, somewhat pointed behind, and stands between the first and 

 second bristles of the second row on the middle segments, being placed close to the 

 second row in the cJ, and to the first row in the ?. The basal sternite bears two 

 ventral bristles, while the following four sternites bear three in the S and seven or 

 five in the ? on each side. The sternite of the second segment has four bristles in 

 the c? and a scries of about eleven in the ¥ . All the sternites bear in the ? two 

 or three hairs before this row. The pygidial plate is not elevate behind. 



Legs. — The hairs of the forecoxa are numerous. The midcoxa bears hairs at 

 and near the anterior edge. These are situated from the apex halfway down towards 

 the base. On the hiudcoxa the hairs are more numerous than on the midcoxa, the 

 hairy area being rather more extended. There are three bristles posteriorly at 

 the apex of the hindcoxa, the upper one being slightly the shorter. The femora 

 have one subapical ventral hair on the innerside, and no hairs laterally on the inner 

 surface, except one situated before the middle (which is sometimes absent). There 

 are two subapical ventral bristles on the outerside, the second being the longer. 

 The basal ventral sinus is not deep, there being behind it one or two hairs. The 

 bristles of the tibiae are Heavy. There is ventrally before the apex of the hiudtibia
