Common in the Adelsberg caves. 



The post-antennal organ resembles that of L. fime- 

 taria, and consists, as in that species, of fourteen small 

 circular elevations, called eyes in the preceding 

 description, arranged in two parallel rows of seven 

 each. It may, I think, be regarded as an additional 

 reason for doubting whether this curious organ is 

 really an eye, that in every other species described by 

 Schiodte as occurring in the depths of the Adelsberg 

 caves the eyes have disappeared. 



In the Mitchelstown cave, near Cahir, in Ireland, 

 Dr. Percival Wright and Mr. Haliday^ found speci- 

 mens of Lipura so closely resembling Schiodte' s species 

 that they did not feel justified in proposing for it a 

 new specific name. The thoracic segments, however, 

 " presented no such strong stricture across the middle 

 as Schiodte has described and figured."
