and hind coxae dark above, pale beneath and at the apex, front 

 trochanters more or less brown above on the thickened portion,, 

 tibiae testaceous, the front ones darkened in front and behind,, 

 tarsi testaceous: apex of abdomen pale; the hind femora have a 

 paler area between the darkened base and apical portion, while 

 the front ones except at the extreme apex are nearly uniformly 

 dark brown. 



Head strongly concave between the eyes, minutely micro- 

 scopically sculptured, so as to be not much shining; antennae 

 longish and slender, the third joint one and two-thirds the length 

 of the fourth, or rather longer still, black the extreme base only 

 pale, the fourth hardly wider than it. Pronotum very distinctly 

 divided, with dense surface sculpture, appearing punctate under 

 a strong kns, mesonotal constriction with similar dense sculp- 

 ture, behind which the propodeum in front of the spiracles is 

 transversely rugose, as also on its posterior surface, while be- 

 tween these areas it is sculptured much like the pronotum. The 

 whole thorax is without any erect pubescence. Front coxae very 

 long, three times as long as high, the trochanters with long thin 

 basal stalk, the chelae normal for the genus, the claw bearing 

 about eight or ten well developed lamellate denticles, the ante- 

 apical marginal tooth of the lower side distinct. Abdomen with 

 minute, but distinct, microscopic sculpture, so that it is not highly 

 polished, almost without pubescence, the apical margins of the 

 segments generally more or less paler. Length 4 mm. 



Hab. Java, Pekalongan, and China (Muir). This species was 

 established in the islands from cocoons sent from Ciiina. 



Paragonafopiis nigricans P. 



To this genus and species must be referred the unique speci- 

 men described as Psciidogoiiafopiis niclaiiacrias. Mr. Muir has 

 taken this in Fiji, the original locality, and I have dissected out 

 and examined the palpi. It varies in color, the usually black pro- 

 podeum being sometimes red on the disc, while one example, 

 which appears specifically identical, has the whole thorax of a 

 bright ferruginous yellow. 



GONATOPUS. 



According to Kieffer this genus has four-jointed maxillary 

 palpi and is therefore the same as my Neogoiiatopus, while the
