  GHILIANELLA 
  STIPITATA, 
  new 
  species. 
  

  

  Female. 
  — 
  Much 
  like 
  the 
  same 
  sex 
  of 
  G. 
  filiventris 
  except 
  in 
  shape 
  

   of 
  abdomen 
  and 
  details 
  of 
  genital 
  segments. 
  Length 
  of 
  prothorax 
  

   and 
  mesothorax 
  as 
  3 
  is 
  to 
  4. 
  The 
  abdomen 
  is 
  smoothly, 
  almost 
  round 
  

   clavate, 
  with 
  the 
  fifth 
  segment 
  the 
  largest 
  in 
  all 
  dimensions; 
  tergites 
  

   4-7 
  are 
  relatively 
  longer 
  than 
  in 
  fiUventris, 
  the 
  last 
  especially 
  being 
  

   distinctive 
  as 
  described 
  in 
  key 
  (fig. 
  191). 
  Eighth 
  tergite 
  rather 
  long 
  

   and 
  narrow, 
  the 
  middle 
  line 
  and 
  margins 
  slightly 
  elevated, 
  apex 
  

   rounded; 
  ninth 
  tergite 
  longer 
  than 
  eighth, 
  narrowing 
  and 
  rounded 
  

   apically, 
  the 
  median 
  line, 
  some 
  irregular 
  oblique 
  branches 
  from 
  it, 
  

   and 
  the 
  apex 
  somewhat 
  elevated. 
  Seventh 
  sternite 
  rather 
  strongly 
  

   and 
  acutely 
  produced 
  medianly, 
  concave 
  laterally. 
  

  

  Length, 
  25 
  mm.

  GHILIANELLA 
  SIMILATA, 
  new 
  species. 
  

  

  Female. 
  — 
  Much 
  like 
  stipitata 
  in 
  form, 
  but 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  de- 
  

   cidedly 
  less 
  granulate, 
  and 
  the 
  mid 
  and 
  hind 
  femora 
  each 
  with 
  3 
  

   pale 
  bands 
  on 
  apical 
  half, 
  instead 
  of 
  unicolorous 
  as 
  in 
  that 
  species. 
  

   Length 
  of 
  prothorax 
  and 
  mesothorax 
  as 
  3.75 
  is 
  to 
  4. 
  The 
  seventh 
  

   tergite 
  is 
  as 
  described 
  in 
  key, 
  the 
  eighth 
  nearly 
  semicircular, 
  de- 
  

   pressed 
  medianly, 
  and 
  obscurely 
  wrinkled; 
  ninth 
  about 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  

   eighth, 
  but 
  considerably 
  narrower 
  and 
  somewhat 
  tapered 
  posteriorly, 
  

   margins 
  and 
  median 
  line 
  elevated, 
  apex 
  blunt, 
  slightly 
  convex.

  segments 
  4-7 
  prominent,

  median 
  elevation 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  slightly 
  posteriorly 
  in- 
  

   clined 
  cone 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  hind 
  margin 
  of 
  seventh 
  tergite 
  a 
  small 
  triangular 
  

   prominence 
  extends 
  slightly 
  farther 
  posteriorly 
  than 
  the 
  prominent 
  

   but 
  blunt 
  lateral 
  angles; 
  eighth 
  tergite 
  broader 
  than 
  long, 
  rounded 
  

   apically, 
  ninth 
  a 
  trifle 
  longer 
  than 
  eighth,
