Thorax pronoto subtrapezoideo, mesonoti scuto quam idem 
metanoti parum longiore et paullum angustiore. 
Pedes primi paris tarsi articulo primo, subtus menso, parum 
magis quam duplo longiore quam latiore, paris tertii femore, later- 
aliter menso, parum magis quam 1/3 longiore quam latiore, secundi 
et tertii paris tarsi vide Pl. X, 1-3. 
Abdomen a segmento septimo parum, a segmento octavo ali- 
quantum angustius, tergiti decimi margine postico rotundato, cercis 
vide Pl. X, 4. 
Long. corp. mm. 14, lat. capitis 2°2, pronoti partis posticae 1°60, 
mesonoti 2, long. pedum paris tertii 5°6. 
[Two g and 2 2 from webs on Para Rubber trees 
at Agege, near Lagos: 1917-1918. For notes on the 
webs and enclosed Embias see pp. 413—-16.—E.B.P.] 
Larva, Corpus totum testaceum. Antennae 15~—19-articulatae, 
articulo tertio quam secundus aliquantum longiore. 
Long. corp. mm. 7; lat. capitis 0°92. 
|These larvae were from the cotton-seed sacks at Moor 
Plantation (pp. 415-16). Prof. Silvestri wrote concerning 
them, Jan. 12, 1921: “It is very probable that these 
larvae belong to the same species as the ¢ and Q, but 
one cannot be absolutely certain if they were not collected 
near the adults. The web and the environment of the 
larva may be rather different from those of the adults.’’—
