288 Mr. M. Burr's OLscrvations on 



describe it as new, and range it here, though the form of 

 the abdomen and forceps is not known.

Although the apex of the abdomen, together with the 

 forceps, is missing, I do not hesitate to describe this as a 

 new species. It is very distinct from T. abnormis (Java), 

 the only other known species of the genus.
