the roots of the forceps. Penultimate ventral segment of S and $ 

 broad, transverse, very obtusely convex. Forceps with the branches 

 in the J subcontiguous at the Joase, rather stout, rounded, somewhat 

 depressed ; gently diverging at first, the inner margin at the base 

 itself convex and denticulate; gently tapering ; just before halt 

 their length bowed inwards at an obtuse angle and thickened on 

 the inner margin ; from this point straiglit, converging, finely 

 crenulate on the inner margin, tapering, hooked at the points ; in 

 the 2 simple, slender, subcontiguous and straight ; red-brown in 

 colour.

This species resembles the preceding but is decidedly larger and 

 the elytra are not spotted. 



The thickening on the inner margin of the forceps of the male 

 represents an obsolete tooth, which is discernible in some

Type, Forjicula insignis, Haan. 



Antennae with 12 segments, slender and cylindrical ; third and 

 fourth segments of about the same length. Head smooth. Pro-

 strongly convex and attenuate apically ; fifth or sixth to ninth 

 segments not recurved (viewed from above) but often provided with 

 tubercles at the sides. Last dorsal segment longer than wide, 

 decidedly narrowed. Forceps of d" contiguous at the base (owing 

 to the narrowness of the last dorsal segment), slender and cylin- 

 drical, elongate, more or less arcuate, and more or less undulating 

 in a vertical plane, variousl}'- armed, but almost always with a 

 strong vertical process or tooth on the upper surface near the base ;
