(Figs. 28-31.) 



9 Ce[)lialothorax, 1-4.7 nun. long, 11.5 mm. broad; abdomen, 

 19.6 inm. long, 11.8 mm. broad. 



l'ephidiitJioi-a,c. — Longer tl)an broad, sraootb, glossy, rich 

 mahogany brown. Pars cephulicd elevated, sides declivous, 

 compressed laterally w^ith deep pits at junction of cephalic and 

 thoracic segments, rear extremit}' sloping suddenly to thoracic 

 fovea, a few short, fine hairs scattered over the surface; besides 

 these latter there is a tuft of long black haii'S immediately in 

 front of the eyes ; octdar area a black, slightly elevated and 

 arched tubercle which is broader than long; clijpeiis moderately 

 deep, of a somewhat whitish opalescent tint ; pars thoracica 

 arched, sloping to posterior angle, radial grooves deep and 

 broad; thoracic fovea broad, very deep; hiarij'nial hand broad, 

 concolorons with clypens, spai'ingl}- fringed with moderately 

 long, fine hairs. 



Ei/es. — Eight, seated upon a black, moderately i-aised, arched, 

 tubetcular eminence, and distributed over two rows consisting 

 of four each, and of which the anterior one is strongly recurved ; 

 of this row the lateral eyes ai-e elliptical, and are separated 

 from each other by a space equal to rather more than five 

 times their individual longitudinal diameter, whilst the 

 median pair aie round, and are separated from each other by 

 a space equal to once their individual diameter ; each median 

 eye is, again, separated from its lateral neighbour by a similar 

 space ; of those constituting the posterior row, the outer 

 laterals are elliptical, and the inner eyes which are the 

 smallest of the group, round ; these latter are each close to its 

 lateral neigh boui-, though it does not touch it, and are separ- 

 ated from each other by a space equal to rather more than 

 three times the individual diameter of one of the front median 

 ej'cs ; viewed from the side the posterior row of eyes is 

 distinctly recurved on its front line, and slightly procurved on 

 its rear line (fig. 28).
