Psyche 



[February 



Description of female: Head slightly broader than long, being greatest in width 

 across the temples; front broad, shovel shaped, with clypeus but little concave; pale 

 in color across the anterior margin; anterior angles rounded, and sides of front 

 slightly convex with narrow marginal band a little darker than general color of 



front, which is pale; also a narrow darker 

 band across the front, a little back from 

 the clypeal margin, with a pair of back- 

 ward converging projections, one on each 

 side of the meson. Two extremely min- 

 ute hairs on the margin of the clypeus; 

 two longer ones on the dorsal surface in 

 the anterior lateral angles and two more 

 on the margin at this point, also several 

 on the ventral surface; another short 

 hair on the lateral frontal margin, a little 

 behind those mentioned and two more 

 on the angle just before the deep lateral 

 emargination; a chitinous band, but lit- 

 tle darker than the ground color of the 

 insect, extends around the emargina- 

 tions. A small well-defined triangular 

 projection, directed outward and back- 

 ward, on the margin at the beginning of 

 the temples, and in front of this a small 

 hair; temples rather prominent with the 

 anterior angle weaker than the posterior, 

 the latter bearing two rather long hairs 

 Fig. 5. Trichil&cetes emelicc Paine and Mann and several short spines. Occiput sin- 

 uous, bare, with a marginal band. The 

 palettes, in the specimen in hand, have been partially torn away or are quite small 

 though we are inclined to believe that the former is true; the portion present rather 

 darkly colored. Palpi small, not projecting beyond the sides of the head. 



Pro thorax subpentagonal, rounded; posterior margin strongly convex, with a 

 rounded median angle, three strong hairs and one spine toward the lateral angles; 

 above these angles, one marginal and three submarginal spines; a light colored sub- 

 marginal band, continuous with that of the abdomen. Metathorax appearing as 

 the first abdominal segment, with submarginal bands, continuous with those of the 

 abdomen and prothorax and giving off a short branch, running inward along the 

 posterior margin of the prothorax, stopping short of the meson. The metathorax 

 extends under the prothorax for a considerable distance and gives rise to a median, 

 chitinous, spear-shaped thickening which shows plainly through the prothorax. 

 There are several submarginal spines, both in the anterior and posterior lateral 

 angles; posterior margin straight. Legs stout, light in color, with narrow, marginal 

 bands and curious, heavy, staple shaped claws. (Fig. 5b). 



Abdomen, including metathorax, elliptical, narrower than in T. doratophorvm 

 Carriker, with the submarginal bands nearer the margins, the bands disappearing
