122. Mr. Malcolm Burr’s Preliminary Revision of the 
pedes longi, femoribus incrassatis, tibiis superne suleatis in dimidio 
apicali, 
The type is Forficula lobophoroides, Dohrn., Stett. Ent. 
Zeit. xxvi, p. 96 (1865). 
The only species falling in this genus is the rare and 
hittle known Jorficula lobophoroides of Stil, from the 
Philippines. In appearance somewhat resembling certain 
black Chelisochide, its affinities are undoubtedly with 
Forficula, while the long slender legs and forceps recall 
Opisthocosmia. I place it in this sub-family with some 
hesitation. It is curious that in the right antenna of a 
male in my collection, the fourth segment is noticeably 
shorter than the third, while in the left antennzx, the 
fourth is about the same length as the third, which is 
the case in both antennz of a female which I possess; 
in a male in the British Museum the segments are almost 
of the same length, if anything the fourth is slightly 
longer than the third, and the fifth than the fourth; 
perhaps when we can examine more material, we shall be 
obliged to place it nearer to Opisthocosmia. 
Genus 4.—KOSMETOR,* nov, gen. 
Abdomen cylindricum, vix dilatatum; segmentum anale trans- 
versum, vix declive; pedes graciles; forceps gracilis, attenuatus ; 
tibize integra, haud sulcatie. 
The species for which I have erected this genus were 
formerly placed in Opisthocosmia and in Apterygida, and they 
have certain superficial resemblances to the former, but in 
the form of the abdomen they more nearly approach to 
the typical form of /orficula, from which they differ m 
the long slender forceps and different antenne. 
The type of the genus Opisthocosmia annandalei, Burr, 
Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1904, p. 311, from Siam. 
All the species are from tropical Asia, and all have 
long slender forceps with one tooth.
