 64476). The cotype is in the Leyden Museum. 



PHILOSCIA JAVANENSIS, new species. 



Plate 2, fig. 4. 



Body smooth. Color in alcohol uniformly brown, with a some- 

 what mottled appearance of lighter and darker brown. On the ter- 

 minal segment of the body are three elongated spots of the lighter 

 brown, one in the middle and one on either side. 



The head is about twice as wide as long, with the front not mar- 

 ginate and nearly straight. The eyes are small and situated at the 

 antero-lateral angles, showing but very little in a dorsal view. The 

 second pair of antennae have a flagellmn composed of three subequal 

 articles. 



The segments of the thorax are subequal, with the exception of the 

 first, which is a little longer than any of those following. 



The abdomen is abruptly narrower than the thorax, but is not 

 deeply submerged. The lateral angles of the last thoracic segment 

 reach but little beyond the middle of the third abdominal segment. 

 The first two segments are shorter than the three following, which 

 are subequal in length. The terminal- segment is more than twice 

 as wide as long, with the apex very obtusely triangular. The uro- 

 pods are short ; the basal article extends but a short distance beyond 

 the terminal segment with the exterior side canaliculate. The outer 

 branch is about twice as long as the basal article ; the inner branch 

 extends to the middle of the outer one. 



Two specimens come from Semarang, Java ; another mutilated one 

 is from Djocja, Java. 



The type is in the United States National Museum (Cat. No. 

 64477). The cotype is in the Leyden Museum.

Plate 2, fig. 5. 



Body oblong ovate. Color in alcohol, brown and A'ellow. Head 

 and first thoracic segment with small areas of yellow, a larger area 

 in the middle of the segment. The following six segments have 

 the upper half of the segment yellow, the lower half brown with 

 yellow spots. The first two segments of the abdomen are light, with 

 a narrow transverse band of brown; the following three segments 

 are dark with a light area on the upper half about the middle. The 

 terminal segment and outer branch of the uropoda are light; the 

 inner branch is lark. 



The head is about twice as wide as long. The eyes are small. The 

 antennae extend to about the end of the third thoracic segment. 

 The flagellum is composed of three articles, the first being a little 

 longer than the second, which in turn is a little longer than the 

 third.
