Loc(dit/\.'<.— West (xreenljind; Vladivostok; east Asia. 

 Body short, ovate, punctate on the dorsal surface, with minute scat- 

 tered dots; the dorsal surface of the fourth thoracic segment is orna- 

 mented on either side with an obscure subocellate spot; the last seg- 

 ment of the alidomen is marked at the 

 base on either side with an obscure spot. 

 The front of the head is triangular, 

 with the apex widel}' obtuse, smooth 

 above. 



The frontal lamina is minute, narrowly 

 rhomboidal in shape. 



The eyes are minute, pentagonal in 

 shape, separated by a distance equal to 

 a third part of the width of the head. 

 The first pair of antenna^ with the four 

 last articles extend beyond the anterior 

 angle of the first thoracic segment, reach- 

 ing with the peduncle as far as a third 

 part of the fourth article, and with the 

 tiagellum as far as the fiftii article of the 

 second pair of antennsv; the tiagellum is 

 composed of six articles, the first article 

 being a little longer than the second, the 

 last article being the smallest. 



The second pair of antenna^ extend to 

 the end of the first epimeron; the flagel- 

 lum is composed of fifteen articles. 

 The first segment of the thorax is 

 slightly l)isinuated anteriorly on the dorsal surface. 



The epimera are rather large, and rather wide; tlie posterior angles 

 of the posterior epimera are very acutely produced; the last epimeron 

 extends two parts of the length of the second segment of the abdomen. 

 The prehensile legs are short; the merus is short, and ai'med with three 

 or four rather stout, obtuse spines; the propodus is furnished along 

 the edge with four long, acute spines; the unguhe are rather large, 

 slender, ornamented with four carina*, somewhat incurved and subequal. 

 The ambulatory legs are rather long, rather stout, furnished with short 

 spines. The first segment of the al)domen is almost entirely concealed.
