subcontigua ; ^ sat valida, depressa, ante medium carina interna 

 in dentem obtusura sursum spectantem elevata ; dehinc magis 

 depressa, subsinuata, aream angustam ellipticam includentia, ante 

 apicem iterum parallela, margine interno denticulata, ajHce ipso

 prope basin margine interno minute crenulata, paullo ante apicem 

 deuticulatis, nonnullis acutis armata, apice ipso tantum incurva, 

 decussata. 



This remarkable genus is very closely allied to, and 

 perhaps even identical with, Anataelia, Bolivar, from the 

 Canaries, which, until now, has been regarded as an isolated 

 aberrant form. But for some years I have had a solitary 

 female in my collection from Korea, which I was unable to 

 describe without the male. It approaches Pygidicrana 

 somewhat superficially, but the form of the antennae and 

 thoracic plates distinguishes it at once from the Pygidi- 

 cranid/B, as well as from the IfarschieUidiB of Verhoeff.

NOTE ON THE GENUS BORMANSIA, VERHOEFF. 



This remarkable genus was erected and characterized by 

 Verhoeff (t/her Dermapteren, Zool. Anzeig. Nr., 665, 1902), 

 and has hitherto remained only known by this description. 

 But I found a fragmentary male in the Paris collection, 

 and six fragments from Kilimandjaro, from which I have 

 been able to piece together two or three fairly complete 

 specimens, of B. imirressicollis, so that I can describe 

 the male, as Verhoeti' only knew the female. The two 

 species {B. africana is the other) are closely allied, it
