posterior margin of the segments ; last segment broad, rounded with a few strong hairs 

 in the margin. Colour dark golden brown with darker brown lateral blotches. 



t- Body, length i mm. ; width 'i mm. ; head, length '33 mm. ; width '55 mm. ; 

 shorter than the female ; abdomen with segments 5 — 7 narrowed distinctly in the 

 middle ; genitalia extending forward to segment i (seeming even to go into the 

 metathorax).

Menopon. 

 (i) Meiioptvi hazvaiiensis [sp. nov.]. 



$. Body, length i mm. ; width '6 mm. ; being thus unusually broad and short for

Plate X. fig. II. 



Head, length "21 mm.; width 51 mm.; broad and short; a slight angulation in 

 front, on each side of which a very short hair and one longer hair ; palpi with a long 

 terminal segment extending slightly beyond the rounding front ; two long strong hairs 

 and two shorter weaker hairs on the rounding angle in front of the ocular emargination ; 

 the emargination is slight but distinct ; eye large, nearly divided by a large ocular fleck ; 

 ocular fringe with few spines ; temples projecting narrowly, with four hairs on the 

 rounding margin, two of which are very long, a few short prickles and a few shorter 

 hairs arising on the dorsal surface ; occipital margin broadly concave, a long hair on 

 each side of the median line ; colour of head pale fuscous, a darker band across the front 

 deepening where the palpi and mandibles show through the head, ocular band darkening 

 anteriorly ; occipital margin narrowly bordered with pale brown ; on the under side of 

 the head there are two strongly chitinized backward-projecting, pointed processes, 

 arising from the labium, and these show through the head giving the impression of dark 

 occipital bands. 



Prothorax short, with a very long hair and two prickles in the obtuse anterior 

 angle, a series of four long pustulated hairs and four prickles on each side of the 

 rounding lateral and posterior margin ; the transverse chitin bar distinctly pale brown, 

 intercoxal lines showing through distinctly. Mesothorax narrow with posterior angles 

 sharp, with a long hair and two spines in the angle, chitinous bars extending longi- 

 tudinally from the anterior angles across the segment. Metathorax narrow, appearing 

 like the first abdominal segment, a dark chitinous bar extending from the anterior 

 lateral margin of the mesothorax back across the metathorax cutting off the posterior 

 angles ; a series of short hairs along the posterior margin ; sternal markings consist- 

 ing of small triangular median blotch with narrow chitinous bars arising laterally and
