This very remarkable species is tlie only instance I have seen 

 in this family of a bifid termination of the anteniue. I have 

 indeed heard that a species of Scrohiger has similar antenna* in 

 the ^ , and it is to be presumed that the })resent is a sexual 

 difference, rather than a mere monstrosity of which it has all 

 the appearance ; the iowv of five joints preceeding the last are 

 strongly transverse, and the singular bifurcation springs from 

 each side of the ]ienultimate, each ramus is curved and com- 

 pressed.
