far more backward than in most other species of Tyroffli/phinae. 

 The genital aperture is situated between the coxae 4. It is shut 

 by two genital covers, pointed anteriorly, rounded posteriorly, each 

 provided with one small hair. There are no genital suckers. The 

 epimera 1 form a V. All the other epimera are free. On each side 

 of the anus thei-e are two hairs, a small one and a long one, the 

 length of wich equals the length ol the abdomen. 



The vmndihles are chelate. 



The maxillae (Fig. '25) are blunt and have a L- shaped incision 

 distally. The maxillar palps are bi-articulate ; their first joint has 

 a hair; their 2d joint is hairless and rounded distally. 



The legs are short (Fig. 23). The fore-legs are a little thicker 

 than the hind-legs. The tarsi 1 and 2 are provided with a spool- 

 shaped olfactory hair (Fig. 26). The tarsus 4 has a tactile hair 

 as long as the leg 4. (Fig. 23). 



Male. The male resembles the female, but it is smaller. Its 

 Uiifjih. is 192 /'. with head, 172 j«. without head. The genital 

 aperture (Fig. 27) is, hke in the female, situated between the 

 coxae 4; the genital cover is a nearly triangular one with its top 

 directed forward. The penis is a very little ball, with a little rod 

 forward. There are no genital suckers and no anal suckers. The 

 legs 3 and 4 are stronger than in the female (Fig. 28) and end 

 in a strong claw.

In may 1901 I found a hypopus on Bombus. 



This hypopus having rounded edges, both of the cephalotorax 

 and abdomen, and not being a hypopus of Trichotarsus Can., La- 

 Udophorus Kram., or Derinacarus WaWev \ the ix'j^o^i oï Gli/cyphagus 

 being at that time unknown; I considered my hypopus as one of a 

 species of Gli/ci/phagus.
