NOTASPIS LUCORUM. 371 



riglit, serrated. First apodemata not joined to the 

 sternum. 



Legs rather long, extending considerably beyond the 

 hind margin. First and second femora large, the latter 

 with blades. Claws powerful, tridactj/le. Tactile hairs 

 on all legs. There are about two thick, curved, seti- 

 form hairs near the distal end of each joint; two or 

 three further back on each femur of the two front pairs ; 

 one on each hind coxa, and a few other similar hairs. 

 The tarsi are thickly set with fine hairs. 



Abdomen short, pyriform; hinder end broad and 

 rounded, but with a very slight indication of a point. 

 A strong spike stands liorkontallii outward (nearly at 

 right angles to the median line of the body) from the 

 very edge of the abdomen between the second and third 

 pairs of legs. There are two longitudinal rows of about 

 four extremely long, curved, setiform hairs near the 

 median hne of the notogaster, and a row of similar 

 hairs round the periphery, a little within the actual 

 edge. These hairs are about half as long as the abdo- 

 men. Genital and anal plates far apart, nearly square, 

 the latter much the larger. 



I am not acquainted with the immature stages of 

 this species. 



Distribution. — I have found one or two specimens 

 at Epping Forest, the New Forest, and the Land's 

 End, Cornwall. It appears to be scarce.
