Fig. 11 represeuts the two maudibles seen form above; fig. 12 

 the right ruaudible from below; fig. 10 the left mandible from 

 the left (outer) side. 



Hypostoma, maxillar palps. The hypostoma immediately reminds 

 us of that of L. lepidopeltis Klti. The bases are suddenly truncate 

 anteriorly, and bear thin, transparent, lanceolate iuner and outer 

 malae. They leave between them a split. The first article of the 

 palp bears ventrally a swallow's nest-looking appendage like in 

 the nymphs (Fig. 9, 13, 7). 



Legs. The coxae 1 and 2 bear on their outside the above des- 

 cribed minute" comb. The coxae 1 moreover have a chitinous pin 

 directed forward, and ventrally a crescent-shaped little chitinization. 

 Fetnale. Length 600 — 665 p, — Colour like that of the 

 male. — Shape broader than the male, especially its abdomen, 

 which may be very swollen (Kolenatt's »lobatus"). Like in the 

 male the body projects with sinuosities above the epistoma, above 

 the coxae 1 and 2, and between the coxae 3 and 4. — Dorsal 

 side (Fig. 14). The dorsal shield is posteriorly wider than ante- 

 riorly ; its hindmost part, however, tapering rapidly towards the 

 end, which is rounded. The hairs on it are nearly the same in 

 number and position as in the male. Quito along the foremost 

 2 / 3 part of the sides of the shield there is a row of little hairs 

 directed backward and inward, lying over the margin of the shield. 

 Further the shield is surrounded by a broad unprotected part of 

 the dorsal skin, scattered with little hairs. The posterior edge of 

 the abdomen shows a slight curve inward. 



Ventral side (Fig. 15). Here too a mentonal and a praesternal 

 shield is present. The sternal shield is trapezoidal with two corners 

 looking toward the space between coxae 1 and 2, and bearing 

 6 hairs. Posteriorly it is excavate roundly to receive the anterior 

 margin of the genital shield, which reacbes far backward and 

 probably is partly a ventral shield. The anal shield is triangular. 

 The hindmost top of the genital and the anal shield are surrounded 

 by numerous little hairs. 



Peritrema. Here too the peritrema immediately runs to the
