those on the preceding joint. The claws do not present any 

 character distinguishing them from those in S. Isabella3; 

 sometimes they are shaped as in that species, and sometimes 

 they are shorter and less acuminate (fig. G h). The first pair 

 (fig. 6 c) are minute knobs with at least one long seta and 

 some shorter setae or hairs. 



Cerci (fig. 6d). — They are of middle size, rather con- 

 siderably shorter than the last pair o£ legs, slightly more 

 than four times longer than deep. They are set with a 

 moderate number o£ setfe, of which three or four at the 

 lower margin are strongly protruding and only a little 

 shorter than the depth of the cerci, while the others are 

 considerably shorter, slightly or not more than half as long 

 as the depth of the cerci, oblique, or rather depressed. The 

 terminal area about two thirds the depth of the cerci, 

 looking downwards; the surface above it of medium length, 

 with seven or eight very pronounced lines. The apical seta 

 about as long as the ventral protruding setas. 



Length. — One of the largest specimens (from Calabria) 

 measui-es 3*3 mm. in length, but most adult specimens are 

 between 2"5 and 3 mm. 



Locality. — Italy : Scilla, about 1000 feet above the level 

 of the sea, in a copse, June 24th, 1893, six specimens (the 

 author) ; Aspromonte, in a forest, about 4500 feet above 

 the level of the sea, June 25th, 1893, ten specimens (the 

 author) ; Palmi or Catania, four specimens (Mr. C. Borner). 

 Helvetia : Luzern, in a wood, July 12th, 1893 (the author). 

 Germany : Tubingen, one specimen (Dr. F. Meinert) ; Mar- 

 burg, two immature specimens (C. Borner). Denmark: 

 Copenhagen, in the Royal Garden, " Rosenborg Have," 

 under large flower-pots which had been buried in the earth 

 to the upper margin, July 16th, 1901, several specimens (the 

 author). 



Remarks. — This species is allied to S. Isabellas, but is 

 sharply distinguished by three characters: the last pair of 

 legs have two protruding dorsal setas on the metatarsus and 

 three in the anterior row on the tarsus, while the correspond-
