nine very short segments, the sutures very deep and distinct, the apex with 

 two pairs of very short anal stylets, but without median style. Length 2.4 

 mm. ; width 1.0 mm. 



It is possible that this may be an apterous larva-like female 

 imago. The integuments are soft and membranous, the head and 

 upper surface semicoraceous. The mandibles are short stout, alike, 

 and deeply notched and bifid at apex. 



The general form of the body somewhat approaches that of the 

 larva of Syntomium aeneum as figured by Schiodte, but is more 

 elongate and with the sides more parallel.
