jection not prominent ; median sclerite narrow. Hypandrium process 

 (HP) poorly developed. Composite left paraproct and left cercus- 

 basipodile (LPPT + LCB) strongly lobed terminally and extensively 

 microechinulate along margin. Basal segment of left cercus (LCi) 

 with inner apical lobe elongate, echinulate; terminal segment very 

 narrow, elongate. 



Female. — Unknown. 



Eolotype.— Male, on slide, in Cornell University collection. 



Type r/«;'r/.— Kwakoegron, Saramacca River, Surinam, June 8, 1927 

 (Cornell U., Lot. 760, Sub. 87) . 



Remarks. — This unique species may be distinguished from all others 

 of the genus by its broad, circular head with large eyes and by the 

 details of the left tergal process. The holotype specimen was referred 

 to by Davis (1940a, p. 187), who believed it to be conspecific with his 

 "sp. indet." (i. e., davisi) from Parintins, Brazil.

Holotype. — Male, Stettiner Zoologischen Museum. 



Type data.—Vvo\. Sara, Bolivia (J. Steinbach). 



Reinarks.— This is apparently a very distinct species characterized 

 by the large acuminate, echinulate inner nodule of the left cercus and 

 the large, broad, bilobed left tergal process. The condition of the 

 right hemitergite is suggestive of that found in the genus Mierocmbla. 

 Future studies may indicate that the species is not a member of the 

 genus Pararhagadochir. 



Family ANISEMBIIDAE 



Anisembiidae Davis, 1940e,' p. 535.— Ross, 1940b, p. 642.— Davis, 1940f, p. 681. 

 Me.sembiinae Ross 1940b, p. 643 (type genus: Mcscmhia Ross). 

 Anisembiinae Ross, 1940b, p. G49 (type genus: AniscmUa Krauss). 



American Embioptera ; the males with mandibles nondentate api- 

 cally; the wings (when present) with E4+5 simple; the basal segment 

 of the left cercus nodulose and echinulate on inner side (except in 

 Saussuremhia Davis) ; the hind basitarsi of both sexes with only one 

 sole-bladder. In the males of Anisertibia and Chelicerca the left cer- 

 cus is usually one-segmented and some species are apterous. 



Type genus. — Anisenibia Krauss. 



Distribution. — South America to southern United States and West 

 Indies. 



5 Davis's 15-clay prior use of Hie name Anisembiidae (1940e) was due to an unexpectedly 

 earlier mailing date of his publication.
