Average length about '45 mm. 

 Average breadth about '30 mm. 

 Average length of legs (first and second pairs) about 

 •23 mm. 



Average length of legs (third pair) about '26 mm. 

 Average length of legs (fourth pair) about "30 mm. 



This species may be noticed by the length of the 

 setiform hairs on the notogaster, and by its colour. 



Colour bright, ve^y red-hrown. 



Texture polished. 



Cephalothorax conical in general form, but with 

 an undulated outline. The rostrum rather blunt, and 

 curved outward until near the middle of the cephalo- 

 thorax, thence the central part of the cephalothorax 

 is raised and runs straight back, increasing but little 

 in width ; the lateral part, however, is depressed, and 

 increases suddenly and rapidly, forming a kind of 

 broad shelf, which supports the two front pairs of legs 

 (the engraver who reproduced my drawings has not 

 made this clear enough). Rostral hairs thick and 

 curved. Palpi and mandibles (which latter are large) 

 usually showing. Lamellce very short, slightly -raised, 

 nearly straight ridges, nearer together at their distal than 

 at their 'proximal ends. Lamellar hairs long, upright, 

 serrated. No translamella. Pseudo-stigmata at the 

 very base of the cephalothorax, almost under the edge 

 of the abdomen. Pseudo-stigmatic organs rather long, 

 standing upward, outward, and slightly backward ; tliey 

 have filiform peduncles and rough, gradually clavate (or 

 spatulate) heads, with rounded distal ends, which in 

 many positions look fusiform. Interlamellar hairs 

 long, much longer than the ijseudo-stigmatic organs, up- 



* Pilosus, hairy.
