TRÄGÅRDH, TWO MYRIOPODOPHILOUS ANTENNOPHORIN.^. 17 



are rather narrow, tlie distal one widening to an almost circular 

 thin, träns versally striated plate. 



The 7naxiUary ylates (mp) are fused together along the 

 two proximal thirds of their lengtli and form a rather narrow 

 projection, anteriorly rounded, with a median incision, and 

 extending forwards to the middle of the second free joint of the 

 maxillary palps. The maxillary plates are not provided with 

 the remarkable appendage nor with the membranaceous 

 plates along the lateral edges, which we ha ve seen from Neome- 

 gistus. They bear only one pair of narrow^ lobes, which are 

 slightly curved upwards and bare. 



The maxillary palps (Textfig. 11.) are short; the second 

 (firstfree) joint, nearly tw^ice as deap as the third one, has ven- 

 trally and distally a forwardly directed truncated tubercle and 

 ventrally two slightly curved pointed bristles, which are feathered 

 near the tip. The third joint is of the same length as the second 

 one, gradually widening distally, dorsally near the front mar- 

 gin provided with one straight, stout, perpendicular bristle. 

 The forth jointis only half as long as the third 

 one, of uniform thickness, with a ring of 5 

 hairs and dorsally with one larger curved and 

 slightly feathered bristle. Fifth joint nearly 

 twice as long as the forth, conical with squa- 

 red top, richly provided with hairs. -p. jj 



The legs. v- 1 1 m -i 



Legs I (Figs 5 and 23, Pl. I.) only half larypalp ofpam- 

 as thick as the other, antenniform. Coxa co- 'J^f^i^^^'^ confra- 

 nical, flattened, dorsally nearthe posterior 

 margin provided with a group of fissures, ventrally near the 

 interiör margin with two small hairs. Trochanter of uniform 

 thickness, interiorly with two small hairs, ventrally with two, dor- 

 sally with one slightly curved bristle feathered near the top. 



The femur widens distally and- has a small, distinctly de- 

 marcated basifemur; ventrally two minute hairs, exteriorly 

 two slightly larger ones, dorsally two perpendicular bristles 

 and interiorly three hairs and one straight bristle directed 

 obliquely backwards. 



The genu is only half as long as the femur, of uniform 

 thickness, exteriorly provided with three, ventrally with two, 

 dorsally with one small hair, interiorly with one hair and one 

 straight bristle directed obliquely backwards.
