  Since 
  my 
  paper 
  on 
  the 
  Indian 
  Mutillidse 
  {Manchester 
  

   Memoirs, 
  V., 
  1892) 
  was 
  published, 
  some 
  additional 
  

   species 
  have 
  come 
  into 
  my 
  possession 
  from 
  Mr. 
  Rothney 
  

   and 
  from 
  Col. 
  Yerbury. 
  The 
  collection 
  from 
  the 
  last- 
  

   named 
  gentleman 
  is 
  of 
  especial 
  value, 
  as 
  it 
  enables 
  us 
  to 
  

   unite 
  the 
  sexes 
  of 
  a 
  few 
  species. 
  

  

  The 
  discovery 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Rothney 
  of 
  an 
  apterous 
  6 
  Mutilla, 
  

   although 
  not 
  unique, 
  is 
  of 
  interest. 
  It 
  is 
  remarkable 
  that 
  

   the 
  four 
  known 
  apterous 
  species 
  of 
  6 
  Mtitilla 
  have 
  the 
  

   thorax 
  emarginate, 
  as 
  it 
  often 
  is 
  with 
  5 
  Mutillce, 
  while 
  it 
  

   never 
  is 
  so 
  in 
  the 
  winged 
  males.
