NEW ICHNBUMONIDiE FROM INDIA, ETC. 235 



broader band round the top of the eyes, the lower two-thirds of the 

 lower outer orbits, the upper and lower edge of the propleurse, the 

 tubercles, the lower half of the mesopleurfe, the tegulfe, an irregular 

 mark on the centre of the mesonotum, the scutellum and post-scutellum, 

 pale yellow. There is a curved pale yellow mark on the base of the 

 second segment, there is a narrow yellow line on its apex, a narrower 

 one on the base of the third, and a semicircular mark — the base 

 rounded, the apex transverse — on the fifth and sixth segments, pale 

 yellow. Legs rufous, the four front coxre and trochanters pale yellow; 

 hinder coxfe black, with a yellow line in the centre above ; the hinder 

 trochanters, apex of tibia3 and tarsi blackish. Wings hyaline ; the 

 nervures blackish ; the stigma testaceous. 2 • Length mm. 



Hah. Triiicomali, Ceylon (Col. Yerbury). 



Face closely, the clypeus sparsely in the centre punctured ; the 

 front and vertex more strongly punctured, with a small smooth curved 

 spot on the top of the front. Thorax closely punctured ; the scutellum 

 and post-scutellum smooth ; the base of the median segment and the 

 areola smooth ; the apical slope of the segment closely transversely 

 striated, the centre with the strife more distinct and more clearly 

 separated than they are on the sides. The large central part of the 

 post-petiole is raised and clearly separated from the more depressed 

 sides ; its apex is obscure yellow ; the second and third segments are 

 shagreened ; the others smooth and shining. 



JOPPINI, 

 LoRTYGiA, gen. nov. 

 Antenna? thickened and dilated at the apex. Scutellum not much 

 raised above the mesonotum, its sides distinctly keeled to near the 

 apex. Base of median segment widely depressed ; the areola large, 

 obliquely narrowed towards the base, which is closed, and is widely 

 separated from the base of the segment, to which it is not united by a 

 petiolar area ; the segment is completely areolated and bluntly spined 

 on the sides. Areolet 5-angled, wide above ; the disco-cubital nervure 

 with a stump ; the transverse median nervure is received very shortly 

 behind the transverse basal. Malar space large, as long as the scape 

 of the antennae. Apex of clypeus transverse ; the clypeus projecting. 

 Petiole long and slender ; its apical third becoming gradually wider to 

 the apex, the post-petiole not being clearly separated, and smooth and 

 shining. Gastrocoeli indistinct, bordered on the outer side by a deep, 

 clearly defined furrow ; the segments smooth. The male has the 

 antennae serrate ; the ventral fold is on the second and third segments. 

 The body is rufous in colour, with hyaline wings ; the tarsi are much 

 longer than the tibite ; both are sparsely and weakly spined ; the apices 

 of the tarsal joints more thickly than the rest of them. Metathoracic 

 spiracles linear. The abdomen in the male has seven segments ; the 

 last large, bluntly pointed, as long as the preceding. There is a stout 

 oblique keel behind the middle of the propleurae. 



This genus appears to be intermediate between the Joppini 

 and the Amblypygi. From its more completely areolated meta- 

 thorax, it may be referred to the latter. The apex of the abdomen
