‘‘?. Length 2 lines. The head, antenne, thorax, and 
legs pale honey-yellow, the tips of the mandibles ferru- 
ginous ; the suture of the thorax and the articulations 
of the legs with ferruginous stains ; the exterior margin 
of the intermediate tibiz serrated; the basal margins 
of the segments of the abdomen broadly rufo-piceous, 
the abdomen elongate and lanceolate.” 
Hab. Mysol, New Guinea (Wallace). In Mus. 
Hopeiano Oxonie (olim Saunders). 
The head below has a rather deep central longi- 
tudinal impression, the mandibles are obscurely dentate 
at the tips (fig. 4a); the maxille have a lobe on the 
outside, the maxillary palpi being 4-jointed, the first and 
second joints dilated (fig. 40); the labium is oblong, 
with the labial palpi 8-jomted; the parts of the mouth 
thus agreeing with those of A. Amazonica.
