than the 7th, and very much thinner, gradually (but 
slightly) incrassate to the apex, which is oblique and trun- 
cate ; cheliferous segment apparently as in P. japonica. 
Expanse 34—41 mm. ‘The only 2 is much smaller, 
and has an expanse of only 30 mm. 
Hakodaté; in my own collection. In some examples 
the pale lines in the fascia and apex are less distinct.

Varying from testaceous to piceous according to degree 
of maturity. Head and front of thorax blackish; rostrum 
reddish. Legs testaceous or reddish. Wings rather 
narrow, apex rounded ; tinged with yellowish or testa- 
ceous; a narrow black fascia beyond the middle, and a 
broad black apical space, both with sharply defined edges, 
one (sometimes two) small spot before the fascia, and 
frequently with a small spot on the inner margin between 
the fascia and the apical portion (in the ¢ these spots are 
sometimes larger and much more distinct). In the ¢ the 
posterior margin of the 3rd segment is produced in the 
middle into a short broad lobe, and there is a tubercle 
on the surface of the 4th (frequently concealed by the 
median production of the 3rd); 6th and 7th stout, cylin- 
drical, truncate, the posterior angles not produced, the 
7th slightly thinner than the 6th; 8th longer than the 7th, 
cylindrical, gradually incrassate to the obliquely truncate 
apex; cheliferous segment larger in proportion than in 
the preceding species; the claws very long and slender, 
much curved, and crossing each other in the middle; 
appendages linear and slender, much curved, widely diva- 
ricate from the point where they divide into two branches 
from the basal piece. 
Expanse 27—30 mm. 
Yokohama (Pryer), Kobé (Lew?s), and probably from 
other localities. Apparently common. 
P. amurensis, M‘Lach., from Amur Land, is an allied, 
but, as I think, certainly distinct species, differing in the 
basal spots on the wings being larger and more numerous, 
and also in structural characters, though only in degree. 
P. Pryeri, sp. nov. 
Deep black; the cheliferous segment testaceous, with 
the claws tipped with black; rostrum pale at the sides. 
Legs dusky testaceous, very pubescent; the tibize and
