In Anaholia nervosa, Curtis, 



the cingula retains its primitive character in that it shows 

 the line of union of sternite and tergite, but it is specially 

 interesting in that its sternite portion is fused into the harpago, 

 forming practically one organ, which is very large, sub- 

 triangular in shape with a short digitate process at its front 

 apex; the tergite portion of the cingula is merely a short 

 narrow collar. The dorsal organs (the tegumen in sensu 

 stricto being absent) consist of two ample lateral plates, 

 subquadrangular, but narrower in the front and somewhat 

 turned over inwardly on the dorsal line, within which lies on 

 each side a large, heavy, cone-like process, which is very 

 slightly curved ; the eedoeagus is of moderate length, narrowish, 

 tapering to the apex, with the outer covering reaching almost 

 to the tip; the apophyses are long narrow arms suddenly 

 expanding at the end into a horn-like apex, as of a fallow- 

 deer. 



Stenopkylax stellatus, Curtis, 



has the cingula and the harpago also fused into one large 

 organ that is almost cordate in shape, but with the outer edges 

 of the broad part extending upwards, the front one into a 

 longish arm with a subspatulate apex, articulated to the 

 interior being a very long, sharp, straightish, tusk-like process ; 

 the subdorsal organs are two lateral hoods with a crenulate 

 hollowed terminal process ; the sedoeagus is longish, lying in 

 a long, very broad tube, the paired apophyses being merely very 

 narrow, long, waved tubes tapering to a fine point. 



Leptocerus aterrimus, Steph., 



shows the cingula as a broadish collar fused into the tegu- 

 men, the latter developing lateral cheeks that are excised 

 dorsally; well below these are the gnathoi, consisting of two 

 arms articulated below the cheeks, that are sharply angled 

 upwards at their second joint, whilst at the third they are 

 suddenly reduced, and terminate in a finely tapered hooked 

 point; the harpagones are of moderate size, broadish near 

 the base, tapering smaller to the front in a curved lower 

 margin, with a deeply bifurcate apical jaw; the eedoeagus is
