The antennfB have the first jouit as long as the three follow- 

 ing ; the 3rd is larger than the 2ud or 4th. The 7th joint is very 

 large, being as long as the 5 preceding ; it is somewhat trapezi- 

 form. On the inner side it is very concave, and on the outer 

 side very convex. 



The maxillary palpi are 3-jointed ; the first joint is much 

 constricted near the base, and has the appearance of being com- 

 posed of two joints. I think, however, that there is but one. 

 The second joint is small. The third joint is as long as the two 

 preceding, and is sliglitly curved, increasing in thickness towards 

 the extremity, which is truncate, with a few setje and a mem- 

 branous point. The femur of the anterior leg is armed with a 

 ridge of blunt tubercles on one side of the hollow which receives 

 the tibia when folded bnck ; on the other side is a single tubercle. 

 The middle and posterior legs have traces of similar tubercles. 



The abdomen is composed of two segments, the first of which 

 is placed almost wholly beneath, the second almost wholly 

 above. It is thus capable of little else than vertical expansion. 

 The first segment which, on the upper side is extremely narrow, 

 but which extends underneath the whole length of the abdomen, is 

 apparently composed of 3 or 4 segments consolidated ; since, when 

 seen from below, it is found to be furnished with 2 longitudinal 

 ridges, marked by notches. There is, however, no trace of 

 the line of the segments which is to be found in Glaviger. 



The whole insect is covered with large and deep punctures, 

 from each of which a small seta springs.
