HANSEN AND SORENSEN, THE TARTARIDES. 23 



On the surface of t lie head eight stripes are seen, distri- 

 buted towards the posterior and lateral margins; the first 

 thoracic tergite has no stripe. the second three; no stripes 

 coiild be discovered on the cephalothoracic sternal elements. 

 Of the nine anterior abdominal tergites first, second and ninth 

 have each one pair of transverse stripes, third to eighth has 

 each two pairs near the posterior margin; of the correspond- 

 ing sternites the first is without stripes, second has one pair 

 of transverse and one pair of oblique stripes, third and ninth 

 each one pair of transverse stripes, fourth to eighth two pairs 

 of transverse stripes. The tenth abdominal segment has a short 

 oblique stripe on each side and besides above a sublateral 

 oblique stripe; eleventh and twelfth segments have each a 

 short lateral stripe. The flagellum has one pair of transverse 

 stripes on the upper surface. 



The antennse possess some stripes on the first joint. viz. 

 one group (Pl. 1., fig. 1 e, /) with three longitudinal stripes 

 and one oblique stripe on the outer side close behind the 

 apophysis, and a second group of three longitudinal stripes 

 on the corresponding place of the inner side. 



The mandibles have distally on the exteriör side a group 

 (Pl. 1., fig. Ik) of three longitudinal stripes and somewhat 

 removed from t hese a fourth stripe. — The mandibular palps 

 are richly equipped: the trochanterial part with five stripes 

 on the inner side and above; the femoral part with a group 

 consisting of three longitudinal stripes placed above a t the 

 distal end and one dorsal longitudinal stripe near the base; 

 the patellar part with six stripes scattered on different sides 

 and going in various directions; the tibial part with. in all 

 nine stripes distributed on all sides and going in every direc- 

 tion; the tarsal part with eight similar stripes. 



Of the walking legs the first, the second and the fourth pair 

 were examined ; the legs of the two last-named pairs agree much 

 Avith each other and shall be treated first. The coxa of the 

 fourth pair has at its distal end at the limit betw^een the 

 lower and tne anterior side a group of ten longitudinal 

 stripes of various length (Pl. 2., fig. Ii); on the coxa of the 

 second pair this group contains only four stripes. The tro- 

 chanter has some scattered stripes and besides a group of 

 four or five longitudinal stripes placed at the distal end at 

 the limit between the upper and the posterior side. The
