Antjeon kiefferi, SJ). u. 



$ . Firtt pari of the radius distinctly longer than the second. Head with a 

 single frontal ridge, starting from the front ocellus and not reaching the space 

 between the antennae. Head entirely rough, with large punctures on the vertex, 

 shagreened about the ocelli, where the large punctures are almost entirely wanting. 

 Head rounded and narrowed behind the eyes ; occiput straight and bordered. 

 Prothorax longer than mesothorax and arcuate behind, largely punctured in front, 

 with short radiating striae, narrowed in front and subquadrate behind. Mesothorax 

 and scutellum shining, with a few punctures [mesonotuin very finely alutaceous ? — 

 C. M.]. Metathorax with three areae, but the outside longitudinal boundaries are 

 indistinct, entirely rugulose, level at base and then sharply declivous (30"). Internal 

 branch of the chelae with plates or hair, except near the bend, which is only 

 moderately strong ; apex with plates as long as the thickness of the branch ; middle 

 of branch, with what are apparently short plates, in proportion (nearly) of 3.1.1.4.2 ; 

 inner branch free from fourth, and reaches back to the second, joint ; empodium 

 two-thirds of fifth joint, and dark at swollen apex. Antennae moderate, dark brown 

 except basal three-fourths of scape, which is reddish-yellow ; scape long and curved ; 

 second joint much thinner, more than twice as long as thick, and not half the 

 length of the first, which with pedicellus is about equal to second and third ; fourth 

 and fifth a little shortening, fifth slightly thicker, sixth shorter and thicker, seven 

 and eight and nine shorter and equal in length and of same thickness as sixth, 

 tenth one-third as long again as ninth ; second joint and apex of first piceous* 

 third to tenth black. Face hairy in front, clypeus black, mandibles and palpi 

 reddish-yellow. Wings yellowish and a little darkened near the stigma ; basal 

 nervures pale, stigma brown except at extreme apex, radial nervure concolorous ; 

 first section straight and nearly three times as long as the second. Legs yellow ; 

 hind femora brown, darker at apex ; hind tibiae a little darker, especially at apex, 

 than the rest ; coxae black at base. 



This species is described from a single $ taken by Mr. Claude 

 Morley on the water of a horse-trough on the outskirts of Ipswich, 

 on May 13th, 1S95 ; it was named Chelogynus frontalis, Dalm., by 

 Rev. T. A. Marshall. 



Ant^on rufulocollis, sp. n. 

 [I can find no detailed description of this species among Mr. 

 Chitty's MSS., but doubtless the characters assigned to it in the 

 following table will be sufficient to indicate its distinction from the 

 allied species. In Mr. Chitty's collection is a single ? , which he 

 captured at Tubney, near Oxford, on July 1st, 190(3.— C. M.]
