a transition staple), and on the distal half of the antennae the 

 set^e in the second whorl are slightly shorter than those in 

 the central one. Sette belonging to a third whorl have not 

 been observed with certainty on the most distal joints. 



Scuta. — The second scutum (fig. 2h) with the hind 

 maro-in between the processes straight^ without striped band ; 

 the processes are large, a little broader than long, with three 

 or four rather long setre along each margin and the distal 

 seta near the apex. The distance between the processes is 

 much shorter than their length. The antero-lateral seta3 are 

 long, as long as or a little longer than the processes; 

 between the antero-lateral and the apical sctaj seven or eight 

 setsB are inserted, of which two pairs are long and one of 

 them even only slightly shorter than the antero-lateral pair, 

 while all the other marginal setse are rather long, longer 

 than in any other species described here. The third scutum 

 (fig. 2 h) with the processes large and much broader than 

 long, the distance l)etween their base subequal to their 

 length; the seta3 nearly as on the second scutum. 



Legs. — The last pair (fig. 2 c) about as long and thick as 

 in S. vulgaris. The tibia with two dorsal protruding seta?, 

 the proximal one about half as long as the other, which is 

 nearly as long as the depth of the joint; the metatarsus with 

 two very protruding seta3 in the anterior dorsal row, and 

 both almost as long as or a little longer than the depth of 

 the joint. The tarsus scarcely four times longer than deep, 

 with three protruding seti\3 in the anterior dorsal row ; the 

 distal seta somewhat shorter than the two others, whicli are 

 a little or rather considerably longer than the depth of 

 the joint. The antei'ior claw (fig, 2 d) is rather long and 

 robust, the posterior moderately slender, and nearly one 

 third shorter than the other; the front seta of middle length. 

 The first pair (fig. 2/) are small knobs, a little longer than 

 thick, with some hairs and two long seta?. 



Cerci (fig. 2g). — Eather small, about as long as the sum 

 of the three distal joints of the last pair of legs, at most four 

 times longer than deep, and about as broad as deep. They
