ventral segment of the male ; from D. grcenz it differs in the 
depressed forceps; from the Ethiopian, D. bicolor, Dubr., 
and JD. vosselert, Burr, in the parallel-sided penultimate 
ventral segment of the gf and broad sinuation. It is 
different in colour from D. bicolor, and much smaller than 
D. vosseleri. It is dedicated to my friend Mr. Cyril 
Griffiths, A.R.S.M., who discovered the female at Sambas. 
Type in my collection.

Diplatys vosseleri, Burr, (1907'°) p. 201, (1909?) p. 253. 
This is a large brown East African species; the head 
is of the third, or typical, form, with all the sutures very 
well marked. 
Type in the Berlin Museum.

This is the species whose postembryonic development 
was worked out by Green, together with that of D. gers- 
taeckert: it was originally referred by me to D. nigriceps, 
but the accumulation of more material and the growth 
of our knowledge has shown that it is a perfectly distinct 
species. 
Superficially it resembles D. bormansi, but differs in the 
gently sinuate subanal plate ; it is the only species known 
to mein which the forceps are stout at the base and convex, 
cylindro-conical, quickly attenuate and slightly arcuate. In 
D. bormansi they are trigono-conical and almost straight. 
Type in my collection.
