pointed type, but also rounded ones occur, all with longitudinal 

 striation. On the abdomen they are brown. On the head, 

 antennae, legs and furcula only scales of the pointed type are 

 to be found. On the antennae these scales protrude to the 

 basal part of Ant. IV. On the naanubrium they are vitreous, 

 exceedingly thin, and noticeable only by means of powerful 

 magnification. On dentes they are elongated, lancet-shaped 

 and remind one of flattened feather-like setae. Mesonotum 

 at the anterior margin with a tuft of setae and the apical 

 abdominal segment with long feather-shaped setae with some- 

 what extended tips. There are also two pairs of extremely 

 long serrated setae on each side of the abdominal segments 

 IV and V. 



Coloration. Yellowish- white, sides of head darkly pig- 

 mented. There is a conspicuous black border along the sides 

 of the body, a dark basal ring on the antennae ; Ant. I bronze- 

 coloured, underneath with bluish shade, other joints dirty 

 whitish. 



The two joints with distal blue points and the two apical 

 joints with proximal blue rings. Manubrium sprinkled with 

 blue, dentes uniformly yellowish. 



Locality. 1 large specimen (3 mm.) from the top of 

 Mt. Murud, 7200 feet, a smaller one also from Mt. Murud, 

 6500 feet, and three smaller ones (2 mm.) from Mt. Dulit, 

 3000 feet. The latter three individuals are nearly white 

 with narrow bands on the thoracic segments and brown scales 

 and blue rings on the legs. They were taken by beating 

 branches above nn umbrella and occurred together with 

 Epimetrua ynirabilis n. g. n. sp. and Bromacantlius handscliini 

 n. g. n. sp. 



Eptmetrura n. g.

Mesonotum strongly protruding. Apical segment of abdomen 

 with a finger-shaped appendix, separated by a joint from the 

 segment. Antennae four-jointed, longer than half the body.
