sind sehr groß und an der Basis eine ganze Strecke bis zur Berührung einander genähert. 

 Auch die Parameren sind auffallend groß und ragen weit über die Gonocoxite hervor. — 

 Diese letzteren Momente würden für eine Zugehörigkeit zur Gattung Lepisma oder we- 

 nigstens für eine nahe Verwandtschaft mit dieser sprechen.

 1890. Lepisma Leai, Ridley in: Jour. Lin. Soc. v. 20 p. 557. 



„Corpus 19 mm longum (setis exclusis), griseum. Caput parvum, subrodundatum. An- 

 tennae filiformes (fraetae). Oculi minimi, nigri, ponc basin antennarum positi. Prothorax 3 mm 

 longus, margine superiore recto, inferiore excavato, marginibus lateralibus poduetis ; meso-

 centibus, supra spina crassa armatis; tertiis tenuioribus, acquilongis, subtus setiferis ; tarsis 

 multo brevioribus setiferis, uncis parvis duobus terminalis. Inter coxas tres squamae, ovales, 

 obtusae, quam coxas minores. Addominis segmenta subaequalia, glabra. Segmentum ulti- 

 mum breve. In medio penultimi segmenti appendices duae breves, complanatae, acutae ; post 

 eas duae laterales, breves, teretes, hispidae, tunc duae longae multo longiores et tenues his- 

 pidae, tunc duae longae graciles hispidae, et in medio appendix longissima unica, crassior, 

 setosa, articulata et annulata. 



„The abdomen was filled with some bright green substance, which was emitted from 

 the mouth when touched — apparently green paint nibbed äff the shutters. 



„The most nearly allied species to this which J have seen was obtained in Socotra 

 and is now in the British Museum. The breadth of the thorax is greater than in L. saccha- 

 rina, but the head is not concealed as in some species."'

„In rotten wood and under stones in the Sapate and the base of the Peak. It also 

 oecured on the mainland at Pernambuco in similar localities. 



„The chief peculiarity of this Lepisma is its vrry rounded back, resembling that of a
