Mr. R. Templeton’s Description 
base and those beyond the middle being distinctly marked, the 
rest obsoletely, and at this part the spines are very strong and are 
inclined slightly inwards. The right superior antenna of the male 
is very singularly formed, being swoln out about its middle ; it is 
composed of nine joints, the first basal is very minute and seems 
more like a little jutting process carrying the antenna, than a part 
of that organ ; the second joint is very large, longer than a fourth 
part of the antenna, it swells out just beyond its origin and has be- 
neath, projecting inwards, a pinnate spine ; towards its apex it 
gradually diminishes in diameter, and curves downwards to meet 
the next joint, a spine jutting out from the curvature : the next 
joint is very small, lobed and with pencils of hairs and a strong 
spine anteriorly : the fourth joint very large, obpyriform, irregular, 
obsoletely divided into five j oints, particularly well made behind, and 
furnished in front about its middle with an articulated process, curved, 
toothed, and hooked at its extremity. Several pencils of hairs and 
spines project from this joint anteriorly : the fifth joint is about half as 
long as the last, is slightly curved, and has about thirty minute teeth 
ornamenting the sinus ; the sixth joint is smaller, irregular, and has 
the basal half similarly furnished with about twenty still more mi- 
nute teeth ; the last three joints are minute, elongate, and sub- 
equal. The inferior antennce are very short, palpiform, remote at 
their base, three-jointed ; the first joint sending inwards and up- 
wards a minute, elongate, clavate appendage, with long spiny hairs 
at its apex. The second joint is longest, and the third is some- 
what triangular, deeply notched at the apex, and furnished with 
strong porrect spines or hairs curved toward their termination. 
The eye in the supposed females is sessile, occupying the summit 
of a conical eminence; in the male it is placed on a large thick 
peduncle which projects beyond the hooks of the rostrum ; the base 
of this peduncle is contracted, and is connected to the head by an 
articulation which admits of a slight degree of motion. 
Immediately beneath and behind the inferior antennae are the 
parts of the mouth and maxillary apparatus. The first in order is 
an upper lip, which seems thick, curved and furnished with hairs ; 
two rounded bodies extend backwards and laterally from this, 
whose surface is studded with minute spatulate, serrated, or pin- 
nated bodies, resembling thick short bristles, and precisely similar 
to those figured in the Magazine of Natural History for January 
183 J, on the maxillae of a species of spider; between these 
rounded bodies is the slit-like opening of the fauces, and from 
their base posteriorly arises a palpus or thoracic foot, five-jointed, 
the second being elongate, somewhat / shaped, when at rest pro-
