292 THE entomologist's record. 



larva of Clavir/er is unknown, he advises me to describe it. Accordingly 

 I made a short description, but on sending the specimens to Dr. 

 Chapman, he kindly executed the plate given herewith and drew up a 

 much more lengthy and complete description, which I have inserted in 

 place of my own.

By Dr. T. A. CHAPMAN. 



The larvae are preserved in alcohol and are very rigid, and are so 

 delicate that I did not care to submit such rare specimens to any strong 

 reagents to soften them — my examination of them was therefore in 

 some directions decidedly limited. They are of a palechitinous brown 

 and their appearance of softness and delicacy gives probably a correct 

 impression, as various parts, legs, cerci, etc., are collapsed and distorted 

 by the shrinkage of the contained tissues in the alcohol. One is 

 struck by the great size of the head, jaws, and first thoracic segment, 

 a well-developed Oci/pus olens does not approach it in this respect. 



The total length (from end of antennal hairs to end of cerci 

 hairs) is nearly 4-Omra., of the body only about 3ram., of which 

 the head is 0'9mm., the prothorax 0"7nim., the meso- and meta-thorax 

 together 0-6mm. and the abdomen about 0-8mm. The head is 0-7mm. 

 across, and is rather square, having somewhat parallel sides, and being 

 somewhat straight across the front, the large curved jaws, however, 

 give a rounded curve to the front margin. The head has various 

 hairs (see plate xxiv., fig. 1). The jaws are long, sharp with a fine 

 sweeping curve, without other teeth than the sharp point, there is an 

 abortive hair towards its base, its length is 0'4mm. (fig. 3). The 

 antenn;p arise close to the base of the jaws, are 0-36mm. long, or 

 0"48mm. if terminal hairs are measured. They are four-jointed, the
