giore; spin* mediana unica acuta in margine superiore interno alteraque majore in 

 superficie inferiore. — Long. uric. 3^. 

 Hab. In Brasilia, (v. in Mus. D. Miers.) 



This is a distinct species, and has the cephalic segment very convex, ovate quadrate, a 

 little narrowed in front, with a slight emargination between the antenna. The labium 

 and mandibles are thickly and deeply punctured. The posterior pair of legs are very 

 slender, with the inferior surface compressed or somewhat carinated. Preanal scale 

 punctured, subquadrate, narrowed posteriorly and slightly emarginated. 



I have named this species in honour of J. Miers, Esq., F.R S, F.L.S. &c, 

 by whom it was captured. 



2. Scolmelanostoma, ferraginea, laevis, stigmatibus nigris, pedibus elongatis flavescentibus 

 pubescentibus; pedum postremorum articulo femorali subcylindrico spina unica me-

 lious lateralibus valde elongatis acutis.— Long unc ] j 

 Hab. In Insula Caribaea 8« Vincentii, Rev. L. Guilding. (J in Mus. D. Hope.) 



This species very closely resembles the preceding, but differs from it in the 

 elongation of the anal appendages, the colour of the spiracles, and also in 

 size. U differs also from S. sexspinosa in the absence of a spine at the distal 

 adulation of the femur, in the pubescence of the legs, and in the posterior 

 border of the preanal scale being slightly emarginated, as in S. Mierlii.
