'.'•">. Hyloicus geminus spec. nov. (PI. XI. f. 3, ?). 



i ?. This s])ecies is so close iu pattern to bn/ens that it cannot, witii certainty, 

 lie recognised as distinct without dissection. It is therefore quite natural that it 

 has been overlooked and stands in collections confounded with Itigens. The only 

 character by which geminus can apparently constantly be separated from lugens, 

 apart of the sexual armature, is the ])resence of five conspicuous black spots on tlie 

 underside of the abdomen. 



S. Tenth abdominal tergite as in ///gens; the sternite narrower. Harpe 

 (PI. XXXVI. f. 2iJ) essentially different, rounded distally, reaching beyond middle 

 of clasper, slightly curved dorsad distally, ventral and dorsal edges almost parallel, 

 dorsal edge heavily dentate, ventro-apical edge less so. Penis-sheath as iu lagens. 



?. Vaginal plate concave distally (PI. XX. f. 13), the lateral edges being 

 here raised : oritice of vagina rather large, at each side with a small groove, which 

 is formed by a proximal and a distal fold that are fu'^ed togetlier laterally. 



Early stages not known.
