NOTASPIS TRIGONA. 397 



Cephalothorax rather longisli, slightly constricted 

 at the base. Rostrum truncated, very angular, having 

 a small median and two lateral points. Rostral hairs 

 fine, near together. Lamellae mere bars or ridges, not 

 starting from the pseudo-stigma but from a little dis- 

 tance in front of it ; long, but becoming vague towards 

 the anterior ends ; the posterior portion are slightly- 

 bowed outward, and are considerably further apart 

 than the anterior ends ; the anterior portions are almost 

 straight. There are two very short inner bars running 

 from the abdomen as far forward as the pseudo-stig- 

 mata, and joined by a strong transverse bar between 

 these organs ; on this bar are two conspicuous points 

 directed forward ; this transverse bar with its points 

 is sometimes much more distinct than the longitudinal 

 bars. In front of and between, but quite detached 

 from, the before-named two points is a small, somewhat 

 pine-apple-shaped, azygous lump on thedorso-vertex point- 

 ing forward. No translamella. Pseudo-stigmata 

 rather large, dorsal near together. Pseudo-stigmatic 

 organs of moderate length, standing almost upright ; 

 they have slender peduncles and fusiform heads. I 

 have not observed any lamellar or interlamellar hairs 

 in the few specimens which I possess. Tectopedia 

 rather well developed. 



Legs longish, joints of the clavate form common in 

 the genus. Femora without blades ; claws monodac- 

 tyle. The usual tactile hairs well developed, and a few 

 fine hairs on most of the joints. 



Abdomen almost elliptical, but shghtly pointed 

 posteriorly and very slightly truncated anteriorly. 

 Notogaster without markings, but with two longi- 

 tudinal rows of very small fine hairs and a few similar 

 hairs round the border. Genital and anal plates small 

 and placed at opposite extremities of the sternal plate. 



I am not acquainted with the immature stages of 

 the species. The few specimens which I possess were 

 collected and mounted under the impression that 

 they were N, splendens^ a common species ; it was
