tea fino thickened transverse lines. The apical seta is short, 

 scai'cely as long as the terminal area. 



Length. — The largest one of my few specimens is con- 

 siderably extended, and measures 3'2 mm. in length ; the 

 shortest specimen, Avhich has all pairs of legs well developed, 

 is rather contracted, and measures 1*7 mm. 



Locality. — Pal mi in Calabria, where the specimens have 

 been captured in May, 189o, by the author, in a wood of 

 olive trees. 



Distribution. — The only locality previously known is 

 Prague in Bohemia, where Muhr collected the animals on 

 which he established the species. His description and 

 figures are far from good, but he says on the joints of the 

 antenna3 that they are " mit einigen kreisformig angeord- 

 neten, kurzen, steifeu Borsten besetzt, die selbst wieder ihrer 

 ganzen Liinge nach mit Spitzen versehen sind ; " and this 

 last feature is not met with in any other European species 

 known to me ; besides, he mentions the first pair of legs in a 

 way which agrees well with my specimens. According to 

 Latzel (op. cit.), Muhr withdrew his new species (in a paper 

 unknown to me) as synonymous with 8. notacantha, Gei-v., 

 one year after he had established it, but ifc was necessary to 

 re-establish it. 



Remarks. — By the setas of the antennas this species is 

 easily separated from all other European forms. The shape 

 of the second and third scuta and their setas, the tarsus of 

 the last pair of legs, the first pair of legs, and the cerci 

 present other excellent characters.

Material. — Six adult specimens from two countries. 



Head. — A little more narrow in proportion to its length 

 than in S. microcolpa; the central rod as in that species, 

 but the frontal branches are scarcely visible. 



Antennio. — They contain from iiftecn to twenty joints.
