so far as I could observe: dormllij : in the posterior half of the 

 anterior shield 4 hairs that characterise a deutonympha ; the foremost 

 pair of these hairs is developed normally, the posterior pair is 

 minute. The posterior shield is ill developed, not taking in its 

 circumference the posterior 4 hairs; veiitrally: the two hairs on 

 the femur of the palp are closer together and more approaching, 

 the median line of the femur.

 Fumouze and RobiìN are the first who present to their readers 

 an ample description and tolerably good drawings of a species of 

 Cheletes, which they call Cheyletus eruditus, and which I do dot 

 consider as such. They delineate the tracheae (discovered by Du- 

 JARDiN, 1844), the inner basal knobs of the palpal claw, and the 

 hexapod larva. They describe the two dorsal shields and the octopod 

 nympha. — They are wrong in delineating the tergum and venter 

 smooth, the coxal shields 3 and 4 wrinkled, the palps 3-articulate, 

 the dorsum with 8 pair of hairs; they are wrong in the denomin- 

 ation of the joints of the legs, in their considering the anus as 

 «appendice conoide terminal» and the female genital aperture as 

 the anus, and in their attributing 3 stigmata (better said 4) in 

 stead of 2. — They do not say anything about, nor do they de- 

 lineate, the number, shape and position of the dorsal hairs, neither 

 about sexes. — They further mention that there are two forms, 

 one with 3 inner basal knobs on the palpal claw, with a tactile 

 hair accompainyig the spine on the dorsal side of the tarsi 1, and
