they are al] characterized by the foveolate sculpturing of the scutum. 

 It differs from both hy its smooth tubercle. An othèr character is 

 found in the colour; for it is similar to G. insculpta Poe. by the yellow 

 spot of the carapace but differs from it by the uniform colour of the 

 scutum; in the latter character there is a similari ty to G. scrobiculala 

 Thor., but in the former a dìfference. 



Gagrella paupera, n. sp. 



Ocular tubercle almost smooth; almost as broad as high seen from 

 in front. Scutum granular and provided icilh Udo spìnes. Tìbia of 

 the palps scarcely twice longer than broad. Femur I about 8 times 

 longer than the second joint of the antennae. Trunk brownish, scutum 

 with indistinct lighter spots. 



Cephalothorax. — Cephalothorax almost triangular. The two 

 transverse ridges behind the ocular tubercle are well marked, the 

 hi rider being much the longer. Frontal processes are parallel, slender, 

 pointed and exteriorly dentate. The depressed median triangle, in the 

 middle of wich the ocular tubercle is situated, is rather well deve- 

 loped. The cephalothorax is rather densely granular with small gra- 

 nules; this granulation is less marked in the middle and almost 

 wanting anteriorly just behind the frontal processes. 



Tubercle. — The crest of the tubercle is deeply grooved and almost 

 smooth ; only in front provided with a few minute teeth. The anterior 

 and in a lesser degree the posterior surfaces are beset with bigger or 

 smaller teeth. The tubercle is seen from the front as high as it is 

 broad above, and much narrower at the base. Seen from the side it 

 is almost perpendicular, and much higher in front than behind; an- 

 teriorly it is almost straight, posteriorly moderately rounded and here 

 as high as the tubercle is long. The diameter of the eyes is distinctly 

 shorter than the distance between the eyes, but almost equal to the 

 distance from their lower margin to the base of the tubercle. The 

 eye is placed nearer to the front than to the posterior margin. 



Abdomen. — The scutum is provided with two spines ; the anterior, 

 which is placed far behind the front margin, is the shorter and dì- 

 rected upwards and very slightly forwards; the posterior spine, which 

 is as far distant from the anterior, as this from the front margin, is 

 the longer and directed backwards and upwards, The slope of the 

 scutum from the front towards the second spine is scarcely marked, 

 but the declivity behind is very steep; the outline of the body from 

 the spine to the anal operculum is almost circuì ar. The scutum is 

 only slightly raised from the sides towards the middle. The tergites 

 are marked by more or less distinct transverse grooves. The scutum,
