Descriptions of two new exotic species of the genus 



Cliordocles. 



By

With plates 21 and 22. 



In the course of certain studies upon Gordiacea, I have determined 

 two new species of Chordodes (Creplin), a genus closely allied to 

 Gordius, from Borneo and Africa, and these forms are here described ; 

 the publication of the systematic results of my studies upon the 

 american species of this group being postponed until I have an oppor- 

 tunity to compare more material. 



1. Chordodes furnessi n. s^y, 



2 specimens, a male and a female, from the abdomen of 

 two diflerent species of leaf MantidsO; these were collected by 

 Dr. W. H. FuRNESS in Borneo, in honor of whom I have the pleasure 

 of naming them. 



Cuticle with three kinds of tubercles: 1) The largest are 

 rounded at the apex, and usually about 1^3 times as long as they 

 are broad ; they vary considerably in shape, and while they are usually 

 thickest at the base, are sometimes nearly square in outline, and 

 sometimes thickest around the middle part. On the rounded apex 

 occur Short, curved hairs, the number and diameter of which varies 

 on diflerent tubercles. As seen on surface views in Canada baisam, 

 these tubercles have the appearance of rings, with a darker outer 



1) My colleague Dr. Philip P. Calvert, of the University of Penn- 

 sylvania, has kindly identified for me the hosts of these two specimens 

 of Chordodes as follows: the female specimen from the abdomen of 

 Hierodula sp. ; the male from the abdomen of Deroplatys sp.
