ol' e(iual length In and ahont 1'5 broader than feniui- willi the anteiùor margin 

 almost circular and posterior moderately convex; the hand is excessively broad, 

 IS broader than tibia and of equal length to fingers; the two last joints have very 

 thin stalks, but the femur has no stalk at all (cf. his flg. 15).

Serrula exterior completely fused; the antennae small; the distance betu>een their 

 exterior Imid corner hardly more than half as large as the breadth of the posterior 

 margin of the cephcüothorax and mostly much shorter; front margin of the céphalo- 

 thorax without a median tooth. 



The antennae always bear a galea and a lamina exterior; the coxae are generally 

 on a level with the maxillae. 



With regard to the discussion of the dilTerent characters I refer to pp. 52— 54; 

 those, which I am going to set forth now are at least of practical value. The 

 céphalothorax bears most often one or two transverse sutures ; the abdominal 

 tergites are often longitudinally divided ; "the eleventh abdominal segment mostly 

 plainly divided into tergite and sternite, or at least with an indication of such a 

 division"; the hairs are seldom completely simple, most often more or less dentated 

 distally. The marginal teeth of the fingers of the antennae are only slightly deve- 

 loped ; the flagellum seems never (cf. p. 14) to consist of more than four hairs, of 

 which only the anterior has more than a few teeth; the lamina interior consists 

 always of a plate-shaped basal and a serruli-formed distal portion as a rule more 

 or less well separated. The labrum seems never to have a hindmost median 

 projection. The legs show almost all variations, but the tibial part of the femur 

 is when present, easily distinguished from a real tibia, and the articulate membrane 

 of the trochantin of the fourth pair of legs is almost always oblique (cf. the foot- 

 note under the "Synopsis of families . . ." p. 58).
