but very shortly toothed. The aedoeagus is very long, 

 narrowish with the apex finely toothed ; the girdle is fairly 

 ample, erect with a very long narrow saccus. It very 

 frequently follows that a very long aedoeagus is accom- 

 panied by a very long saccus. 



Spalgis epius, Westw. (PI. LXV, fig. 47). 



Here the tegumen is also hooded, but quite differently 

 from Fenisca ; it forms a distinct hood, being only slightly 

 attached to the girdle at the rear of the dorsum, the develop- 

 ment is entirely forwards again ; the falces are quite short 

 and broad; the clasps are subovate with constricted and 

 hollowed and toothed fore edges ; two strong deeply curved 

 horns drop forwards from near the centre of the clasps 

 which may possibly take the place of the fulcrum, it is, 

 however, an unusual formation ; the girdle is fairly erect 

 but curved in the middle, and is without any saccus ; the 

 aedoeagus is longish with the tube tapering somewhat 

 smaller for its apical half. 



In closing I will compare two genera somewhat widely 

 separated, viz. Horaga type onyx and Loxura type afi/ntnus, 

 in order to show a somewhat unusual development in each 

 case, but a development that has gone on along parallel 

 lines, though the genera are not at all closely related. It 

 is not, of course, surprising that this should be so, but it is 

 none the less interesting. 



In Horaga ongx the tegumen consists of a saddle which 

 is very deeply bifid, the two extremities being hoof shaped; 

 the falces are attached at the back and on to (as it 

 were) the fetlock joint; the girdle is broad, inclined 

 well forwards and has no saccus, whilst the clasps are 

 scymitar shaped, with an abundant supply of long coarse 

 bristles. The aedoeagus is of moderate size, both as to 

 length and width, with the vesica highly developed, being 

 covered with short teeth. 



In Loxura atijninas the tegumen has the saddle ridge 

 much reduced, whilst the highly bifid extremities are 

 decidedly increased in length, terminating in two finger- 

 like appendages ; the falces are long and fine and deeply 

 curved ; the girdle is very broad and ample, very much 

 depressed and inclined forwards and over the clasps ; 

 the knife-shaped clasps, have the basal half decidedly 

 wider than the fore part, there are no long bristles, but 

 instead the edges of the clasps have a few very short fine
