terior lateral angles are distinct though obtuse, the hind margin being some- 

 what concave each side the median lobe ; and the margins are hairy as in 

 the thorax. 



The upper anteiuiae are nearly as long as the pedicel of the lower. The 

 flagellum consists of 11 to 13 joints, the two terminal together about as 

 long as the preceding one. The three joints preceding the last bear, each 

 at its anterior internal angle, a large olfactory club about at long as the 

 eighth joint of the flagellum. 



The loicer nntennae extend backward about to the base of the abdomen. 

 The last joint of the pedicel is as long as the two preceding. The flagellum 

 contains about 60 joints in the female and 90 in the male. 



The palpus of the ma7idi/jfe is small, three-jointed, the first joint cia- 

 vate, with three spines on the distal half of the posterior margin and one or 

 two at tip. The second joint is about twice as long as wide, slightly con- 

 cave in front and with a distinct median angle behind. There are two or 

 three scattered haii-s on the basal half of the posterior margin, and many 

 long plumose hairs, .shortening distally, on the terminal half. The third 

 joint is ovoid, tapering, very broadly rounded in front and distinctly con- 

 cave behind. The concave posterior margin bears a row of long plumose 

 hairs, regularly lengthening toward the tip, and a sub-marginal row of 

 shorter hairs on the side of the joint. The basal joint oH the pa Ipiis of the 

 maxUlipe<J is very .short, transverse, about thrice as broad as long, with 

 outer margin perpendicular to terminal. The second joint is a little broader 

 than long, rounded slightly without, very broadly within, and plentifully 

 ciliate on both edges. 



The third joint is about two-thirds as long as second, broadly and reg- 

 ularly rounded within, narrowed about one-third at tip ; the fourth clavate, 

 incurved, as long as second, at tip about half as wide as long ; the fifth 

 about half as wide and long as fourth, incurved, obtuse. All the joints bear 

 long marginal hairs. 



The Jivft pair of feet in the male are strongly sub-chelate ; the propodus 

 a little more than two-thirds as wide as long, the palmar margin straight, 

 with one strong tooth at base and another at middle. The posterior margin 

 is only about one-fifth the palmar, and perpendicular to it. The dactyl is 

 strong, curved, serrate behind with about seven distinct teeth. The terminal 

 claw is strong, acute and curved. Both margins of the propodus and the 

 front of the dactyl are hairy : a cluster of longer hairs is seen near base of 

 claw of dactyl. 



The propodus of the female is a little narrower and the palmar margin 

 is somewhat concave. The tooth at the middle of the palmar margin is 

 smaller, but quite distinct. 



The basal abdominal plate beneath in the female is obtusely triangular, 

 about half as long as the basal part of the next plate behind. The first pair 

 of genital plates in the male are long and narrow, the terminal joint truncate, 

 strongly excurved beyond the middle, and bordered posteriorly by about 

 six long bristles a third as long as the joint. 



In the second pair of plates the basal joint (pedicel) is twice as long as
