Iliihitat, Europe. Found in Spain in Andalusia. 



I found the first two specimens of this very distinct species in the collection of 

 the Koyal Belgian Museum at Brussels. In form and sculpture it much resembles 

 the species of Bhypohius, but is separated from that genus bj" its nine-jointed 

 autenmiB. Other specimens, taken in Andalusia and in Sardinia, have lately been 

 sent to me by Herr E. Eeittcr.
