teeth has been rednced. The second row of bristles is per- 

 fectly identical with that of the previous species. 



Maxillse, labium and sternum are very similar by these 

 species. 



The legs, especially the two first pairs, show the greatest 

 peciiliarities. The two first pairs are always the longest and 

 thickest. Commonly the tibiae and the metatarsi are distinctiy 

 iiattened beneath and the metatarsi and even the tarsi are 

 by some species a little curved. By the armature of the 

 tibise and metatarsi this genus shows a great affinity with 

 the family Mimetidse. So for instance in a high degree by 

 Grnolus cordiformis (Nic), the armature of which as much 

 reminds of that by Mimetidte as that of Oarces reticulatus 

 (Nic). Except some scattered long spines there is by the 

 females beneath on the both sides of these joints a row of 

 spines. By Gnolus spiculator (Nic.) (conf. Pl. IV, fig. 2) there 

 are on the inner or anterior side four spines or spiniformed 

 bristles about thrice as long as the breadth of the joint. 

 By Gnolus cordiformis (Nic.) (conf. Pl. IV, fig. 1 a, b) there 

 are five much shorter and stouter spines and between each 

 of them a very short one. Between the distal long spine 

 and the apex of the joint are three shorter ones growing in 

 length towards the apex. By Gnolus augulifrons (conf. Pl. 

 IV, fig. 3) there are three spines not distinctiy arranged in 

 a row. By Oarces reticulatus (Nic.) there are seven spines 

 distinctiy arranged in a row and in each interval one or two 

 smaller ones. Concerning the armature of the same side of 

 the metatarsus Gnolus spiculatur (Nic.) has in the proximal 

 half three very long spines and between these some much 

 shorter and finer ones; in the distal half there are two rows 

 of shorter spines that grow in length towards the apex; those 

 which are in row with the former are longer. Gnolus cordi- 

 formis (Nic.) has in the distal half two longer spines and 

 between these three shorter ones growing in length towards 

 the second long spine and in the distal half a row of several 

 short spines growing in length towards the apex of the joint. 

 By Gnolus augulifrons Sim. there are two longer spines and 

 several small ones arranged in a row. The row of short 

 spines are sometimes continued on the tarsus, so very di- 

 stinctiy by Gnolus cordiformis (Nic). By Oarces reticulatus 

 the metatarsus has in the middle one löng spine and from
