( cxxx ) 



short with a bulbous apex, the paired apophyses lying over 

 the upper margin, being bent at the base and terminating 

 in suddenly reduced fine apical points. 



Brachycentrus suhnuhilus, Curtis. 



The genitalia are very simple, the cingula is irregular, 

 excurved to the rear, with the dorsum as a broad collar, 

 attached thereto being the lateral cheeks usually considered 

 part of the tegumen; the harpagones are rather small, with a 

 sudden upward curve at the base, after which they project 

 horizontally and terminate abruptly, but with a curious 

 small hook on the outer side, below on the lower margin lies 

 a narrow curved spikelet ; the sedoeagus is a short broad tube 

 with the paired apophyses much reduced and lying at the 

 rear as two smallish tapering pointed sclerites. 



Glyphotaelius pellucidus, Ketz. , 



has the cingula simple, open at the rear in the sternite, 

 but solid for the greater part of the tergite ; the harpagones 

 lie almost vertically along the outer edge of the cingula and 

 taper slightly wider to their upper apex, which is somewhat 

 squarish ; the tegumen is a short pointed hood with two 

 small lateral plates attached to its rear, with an upward 

 projection at their apices, and on the interior lie two short 

 digitate processes ; the sedoeagus is a long tube with an ovate 

 apex, the paired apophyses being very beautiful, they are 

 longish, fairly broad arms expanding widely at the serrated 

 front apex, which is also furnished with very long comb-like 

 pectinations, whilst lying on the interior is a yet longer 

 process somewhat pointed and fringed with longish spines. 



Plectrocnemia conspersa, Curtis, 



has a very remarkable structure, the cingula is confined to 

 the sternite and encloses the reproductive organs with the 

 gnathoi ; above them appear the anal armature with peculiar 

 apophyses acting doubtless as sensory organs. The harpa- 

 gones are broad and hollowed, tapering to a blunt point at 

 the front apex ; arising from them at the rear are two pro- 

 cesses, a short digitate one shortly spined and cm'ved down- 

 wards, and a larger, deeply hooked or curved one somewhat
