96 Mr. Malcolm Burr’s Preliminary Revision of the 
margine antico recto, postico rotundato, prozona elevata, metazona 
depressa ; elytra aleeque perfecte explicate ; pedes breves, sat validi, 
femoribus sat incrassatis; segmentum anale breve, transversum ; 
pygidium haud perspicuum, 
Type.—Anechura hermes, Burr, Ann. Mag. N. H. ser. 7, 
vol. vi, p. 99, Pl. IV, fig. 1, la. (1900.) (Sarawak.) 
The female is unknown. 
I have erected this genus for the reception of the 
single species referred to which is allied to 7’. bicuspis, 
Stal, and its neighbours, but differs in the strongly 
depressed and dilated abdomen. 
Genus TIMOMENUS,* nov. gen. 
Statura minus gracili; antenne 12-segmentata, segmentis crassi- 
oribus, minus elongatis ; caput leave, margine postico recto ; pro- 
notum quam caput «que latum, sublatius quam longius, margine 
antico recto, postico rotundato, lateribus, subconvexis; prozona 
tumida, distincta, a metazona plana sejuncta: elytra ampla, levia, 
carinula humerali brevissima, apice truncata vel emarginata; ale 
longe ; pedes minus graciles, femoribus anticis incrassatis ; 
abdomen medio dilatatum, plicis distinctis ; lateribus acute recurvis, 
in modum generis Ancistrogastris, sed haud mucronibus deplanatis 
armatis ; segmentum ultimum dorsale ¢ angustatum, leeve, medio 
bituberculatum; forcipis bracchia sat valida, margine interno dentibus 
obsoletis. 
This genus will include a few medium-sized, stout, 
Asiatic earwigs, with thickened femora, strong forceps, 
and slightly dilated subcylindrical abdomen. 
Type.—Opisthocosmia: oannes, Burr, Ann. Mag. N. H. 
ser. 7, vol. vi, p. 85. (1900.) (India.) 
This genus will also include the following :— 
Onpisthocosmia komarowi, Semenov., Rev. russe d’Ent. 
vol. i, pp. 98 and 259. (1901.) (Corea.) 
Forficula bicuspis, Stal, in Eugenies Resa, Ins. p. 301,
