  GHILIANELLA 
  SIMILLIMA, 
  new 
  species. 
  

  

  A 
  species 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  productilis, 
  agreeing 
  with 
  it 
  even 
  in 
  

   shape 
  of 
  seventh 
  tergite 
  (in 
  contrast 
  to 
  persimilis) 
  , 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  single 
  

   male 
  specimen 
  at 
  hand, 
  dark 
  castaneous 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  characteristic 
  

   dark 
  dots 
  of 
  this 
  group 
  of 
  species 
  are 
  much 
  obscured. 
  However, 
  

   they 
  are 
  discernible 
  upon 
  close 
  inspection. 
  Legs 
  and 
  antennae 
  paler 
  

   castaneous 
  than 
  body 
  but 
  without 
  pale 
  annuli. 
  Hypopygium 
  rather 
  

   short, 
  opening 
  upward, 
  the 
  sides 
  rather 
  pinched 
  in, 
  the 
  upper 
  mar- 
  

   gin 
  flaring 
  laterally 
  and 
  ridged 
  posteriorly, 
  claspers 
  as 
  described 
  

   in 
  key.

  — 
  General 
  color 
  light 
  reddish-brown, 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  variegated 
  

   with 
  fuscous; 
  the 
  legs 
  and 
  antennae 
  stramineous, 
  punctate 
  but 
  not 
  

   annulate 
  with 
  the 
  general 
  color. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  distinct 
  black 
  dot 
  on 
  

   the 
  upper 
  surface 
  of 
  each 
  fore 
  femur 
  near 
  the 
  apex, 
  a 
  pair 
  of 
  dots 
  

   about 
  middle 
  of 
  posterior 
  lobe 
  of 
  head, 
  and 
  another 
  pair 
  sometimes 
  

   larger 
  than 
  the 
  preceding 
  about 
  middle 
  of 
  pronotum; 
  each 
  abdom- 
  

   inal 
  sternite 
  from 
  3-6, 
  also 
  bears 
  near 
  its 
  hind 
  margin 
  a 
  pair 
  of 
  

   black 
  dots 
  which 
  tend 
  to 
  become 
  larger 
  and 
  blotch-like 
  posteriorly. 
  

   Pilosity 
  fine, 
  short, 
  pale, 
  more 
  abundant 
  toward 
  apices 
  of 
  mid 
  and 
  

   hind 
  legs 
  and 
  antennae. 
  Abdomen 
  almost 
  parallel-sided, 
  widest 
  at 
  

   hypopygium, 
  a 
  black 
  wart 
  on 
  middle 
  of 
  hind 
  margin 
  of 
  tergites 
  

   2-6, 
  the 
  connexivum 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  elevated, 
  the 
  spiracles 
  dark. 
  Sev- 
  

   enth 
  tergite 
  somewhat 
  longer 
  than 
  sixth, 
  a 
  little 
  constricted 
  beyond 
  

   middle, 
  the 
  apical 
  moiety 
  faintly 
  transversely 
  corrugated, 
  lanceolate 
  

   in 
  outline, 
  with 
  a 
  rounded 
  keel 
  apically, 
  and 
  projecting 
  a 
  little 
  

   beyond 
  hypopygium. 
  Posterior 
  margins 
  of 
  sternites 
  2-6, 
  more 
  or
