linstles and oiiu or two hairs indicating ao anterior second row. The minute 

 serration of the nietanotiim and the abdominal tergites 1 to 6 is more distinct 

 than in C. mnime. The metathoracical epimerum bears three bristles from the 

 stigma downwards and one in front. 



Abdomen.— Tiic steriiite of the third abdominal segment bears five bristles 

 on each side, tln)se of segments 4 to 6 only three bristles, and that of segment 

 7 four. 



legs.— WiiiJe in C. numae there are six pairs of dorsal bristles on the hind- 

 tibia with an additional short bristle between the second and third and between 

 the fifth and sixth i)airs, there are no additional bristles in the present species, 

 or only one between the second and third pairs. Tlie row of hairs on the outer- 

 side of the hindtibia consists only of four or five hairs, as compared with the eight 

 hairs of ('. vinnne. 



Modified Segments.— The seventh abdominal sternite is not sinnate, as in 

 C. namfu\ and the eighth tergite bears a much smaller number of bristles (PI XIII. 

 fig. (31). 



The stylet is somewhat shorter than in C. numae. 



Length : ? , 2 mm. 



We have two ? -examples of this species from Deelfontein, Cape Colony, 

 November 11th, 19ii2, from Grapkoctdans biurus, collected by Mr. C. J. B. Grant.

Head. — The front of the head bears a very slight notch in both sexes. There 

 are three long bristles between the antennal groove and the insertion of the 

 maxillary jialpi, and in front of this row there is another of eight or nine shorter 

 bristles. The anterior part of the head is, besides, covered with numerous very 

 short hairs. There are four genal spines. The first and second are broad, 

 acuminate, their anterior outline being curved ; the two spines stand close 

 together, the second covering the first. The third spine is a little longer than 

 the second, but much narrower, while the fourth is shorter and slenderer than the 

 third. The geua itself is produced backwards below the eye into a pointed process. 

 The eye is distinct and transparent. The occiput bears three oblique rows of 

 hairs besides the subaj)ical row. Above the antennal groove there are in the J 

 numerous very short hairs, not situated in one single row, and extending from 

 the insertion of the antenna to the hinder edge of the head. In the ? these 

 hairs are practically restricted to a patch situated near the hinder edge of the 

 head. The first, second, and fourth segments of the maxillary palpus are of 

 about the same size, while tlie third segment is a little over half their length. 

 The rostrum reaches almost to the end of the forecoxa. The labial palpus consists 

 of five segments, the last being a little longer than the fourth and half as long 

 again as the second. 



Thorax. — The pronotnm bears a comb of eighteen or twenty teeth, and one row 

 of long bristles, behind which row there are laterally two hairs. The mesonotum 

 IS very hairy, bearing two regular series of bristles and numerons other hairs in 

 front of them. Near the ape.\ of the mesonotum there are on each side two or 

 three hair-like spines. The metanotum bears two rows of bristles and a third
