the head, and from its anterior angles just behind the suture 

 a thin branch proceeds obliquely forwards and outwards; 

 the frontal branches of the central rod are faint. 



Autennge. — The highest number of joints observed by me 

 is twenty-one ; Latzel states that it varies from twenty to 

 thirty. The proximal joints are scarcely thickened^ but the 

 setEe on their inner surface seem to be somewhat longer than 

 the others, which are rather short. A special description 

 cannot be attempted, as the preservation is too bad. The 

 terminal joint has a rather small striped orgnn with short 

 stalk, and at least one still smaller organ of the same kind 

 besides. 



Scuta. — The second scutum (fig. 3 a) with the posterior 

 margin straight or very slightly emarginate in the middle 

 portion ; the antero-lateral sette are directed somewhat 

 forwards, very long, much longer than the breadth of the 

 proximal antennal joints; a lateral seta is slightly more than 

 half as long as the antero-lateral one, and directed essentially 

 backwards; a postero-lateral seta and some of the posterior 

 setae are of moderate length. 'J'he first, third, fifth, sixth, 

 eighth, ninth, eleventh, and twelfth scuta each with a pair 

 of setse directed essentially outwards, and about as long as 

 the antero-lateral seta3 on the second scutum; on the anterior 

 ones of these scuta these seta3 are antero-lateral, on the pos- 

 terior scuta they ai'o inserted more backwards, but always on 

 the most lateral point of the scuta; besides, a lateral seta of 

 moderate length is found on several of the scuta. The thii-- 

 teenth scutum (fig. 3 h) is posteriorly slightly emarginate, 

 and a long seta directed more or less backwards is inserted 

 at the posterior end of the lateral margin. 



Legs. — The last pair of my small specimens have the 

 tarsus four times longer than deep (fig. 3 c), and not widened 

 towards the base; the tibia has two dorsal seta), one of which 

 is very long, the metatarsus with two similar settc in the 

 anterior dorsal row, and these seta) arc only a little shorter 

 than the depth of the metatarsus ; the tarsus in the anterior 

 dorsal row with three seta), which are a little shorter and
