 13. Asca affinis. Oudiiis. 



(With Plate VI, fig. 45). 



This species is described in the Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, 

 vol. 45, p. 45. The specimen on which my description and figures 

 were made was too damaged, to give an exact notion of the 

 epistome. I have now under my observation four specimens, all 

 nymphae, found by Mr. S. A. Poppe at Vegesack. So I am in the 

 occasion to give a figure of it (Fig. 45). It remembers us of the 

 epistome of some species of Macrocheles. e. g. M. longulus (Berl.) 

 and longispinosus (Kram.). It is a long cusp, distally scarcely bifid. 

 A second particularity is the enormous development of the organs 

 called styli by Berlese.
