Cephalic plate one and a half times longer than wide. Frontal suture 

 absent or obscure. Paired sulci absent. Puncta numerous, rather hght, 

 fewer or absent in frontal region. Plate narrowed gradually caudad from 

 near middle much as in Z. curtiis. 



Basal plate much overlapped by the cephahc; the exposed portion nearly 

 4.4 times wider tha^ long. 



Prehensors when closed reaching beyond end of first antennal article. 

 Presternum without chitinous lines. Presternum, femuroid, and claw bearing 

 teeth, the latter below suture (trochanter) also with a sUght rounded black 

 tooth. Teeth of presternum acutely pointed, apices widely separated, the 

 interval between them being V-shaped. Distal tooth of femuroid stouter 

 than that of claw. 



First legs scarcely or not at all shorter or more slender than the second. 



Spiracles all circular; the first much longer than the second. 



Last ventral plate broad; sides straight, converging caudad; caudal angles 

 rounded and caudal margin a little convex. 



Coxopleural pores small, few, along and beneath border of last ventral plate, 

 most in the type being covered. 



Anal pores very small. 



Anal legs with a stout, well-developed claw. 



Pairs of legs, thirty-nine. 



Length, 18 mm. 



99. Zelanion (Zelanoides) paucipes, sp. nov. 



Type.— M. C. Z. 2,059. New Zealand: Day's Bay (W. M. 

 Wheeler) . 



Very similar to the preceding species but differing in various details, 

 Antennae shorter, the last article longer than the two preceding instead 

 of shorter. Prosternal teeth conspicuously different; not divergent, 

 but lying close together, only narrowly separated, distally rounded, 

 not black. Tooth of claw of prehensors larger than that of femuroid. 

 First legs proportionately smaller. Coxopleural pores few, chiefly 

 along edge of plate which does not cover them as in Z. si mills; a much 

 smaller single pore above and caudad of these. 



Pairs of legs, thirty-three. 



Length of type, 12 mm.
