and the basal half of the dorsal abdominal segments, brown ; the rest 

 pale ; the palpi perhaps rather darker. 



Head cordate, as long as broad, truncated behind. Antennae 

 rather stronger tlian in ilivinatoria, especially the thread. Anal parts 

 as in divinatoria. Abdomen almost fusiform, convex above. 



Long. 1^ mill. 



Eeceived from Ceylon, from Mr. Nietner ; it is imported there in 

 English oilcake. 



The insect is slender and much elongated, somewhat similar to an 

 immature Terones. I have seen a number ; also those immature, and 

 even an egg with an embryo. It bears some resemblance to Clothillay 

 but I see no rudiments of wings. 



Genus Clothilla, Westwood. 

 Meso- and meta-thorax separated; antennae with 27 joints, the 

 thread stout ; superior wings rudimentary, without reticulation ; 

 femora dilated ; second joint of the tarsi short, 



1. — O. pulsatoria, Linne. 



Pale yellow ; eyes bright yellow or brown ; head darker ; antenna) 

 brown, the base of the joints paler ; abdomen with reddish elongated 

 dorsal points. 



Head cordate, as long as broad. Meso-thorax with rudiments 

 of wings, in the form of oval coriaceous scales. Male with a double 

 acute valve on the seventh segment beneath. 



Long. 2 mill. 



Habitat : Europe, in boxes of insects, &c. It is apparently the J 

 true Termes pulsatorium of Linne, and T. lignorum of De Geer. ' 

 C studiosa of Westwood, according to the type. 



2. — O. annulata, new sp. 



Similar to the last, but slightly shorter, and more quadrate. Livid 

 brown ; eyes brown ; the last joint of the palpi also brown, as well as 

 the head and sides of the thorax. 



Pro-thorax widened posteriorly. Eudiments of wings varied with 

 brown. The abdominal spots larger. Abdominal valve as in. pulsatoria. 

 Thighs at the apex, and the tibia) at the base and apex, annulated with 

 broA\ai. 



Long. 1| mill. 



Habitat : Europe. I have found two examples in boxes of Euro- 

 pean insects. This species is apparently described by Geoffrey, t. ii., 

 p. G02.
