90 Rev. A. Matthews's Notes on M. FauveVs 



angle, from each of these a strong erect seta arises, frontal plate 

 emarginate in front, and at the sides; below the frontal plate 

 tlie sides of the head form a deep longitudinal recess, in the 

 middle of which the eye is placed, the eye is oval, not distinctly 

 facetted, but certainly visual,* 



Pronotum large, suboval, as broad as long, in the male rather 

 broader, furnished with three erect seta3 on each side, one near 

 each angle, and one near the middle, with a deep setigerous 

 puncture within the posterior angles. 



Scutellum rather large, triangular, 



Elj/tra very short, with the apices much rounded, with an 

 erect seta on each side near the shoulder, and a row of strong 

 setfB round the apex. 



Abdomen rather long, widest beyond the middle, with seven 

 dorsal and six ventral segments, 2-6 strongly margined, and 

 furnished on each side with from one to three long erect set£e, 

 of which the posterior arise within the angle, and also with a 

 row of setoj arising from punctures at the posterior margin of 

 each segment, apical segment entire, obtuse, furnished with 

 robust setose styles. 



Prothorax with the inflexed margin divided by a suture on 

 each side, extending to the coxal cavities; stigmata oval, un- 

 covered (PI. V, f. 10, I), 



Prosternum (PI. V, f. 10, a) anteriorly membranaceous, with 

 the episterna (PL V. f. 10, b) alone corneous; posteriorly cor- 

 neous, elevated in the middle, and produced into a point between 

 the coxaj; epimera not apparent, 



Mesosternum (PI. V, f. 10, c) short, elevated in the middle, 

 and produced into a point between the coxaj ; episterna (PI. V, 

 f. 10, d) humeral, very large; epimera (PI. V, f. 10, e) small, 

 rhomboidal, extendinc: to the coxal cavities ; the coxal cavities 

 are mere depressions. 



Metasternwn (PI. V, 1'. 10, f) short, transversely oblong, not 

 extending to the sides of the body, produced between the coxa3 

 into a truncate process, of which the angles are acute and 

 salient; episterna and epimera long and very narrow (PL V, f. 

 10, G, 11). 



* Although unable, even under a high power, to recognize distinct 

 hexagonal facets. I think that there can be no doubt that the eyes are 

 truly optic— E. W. J.
