Notes on Georychus and its Allies. 441 
t.-m.; second s.m. long, narrowed about half above. Legs 
slightly brownish, anterior knees with a yellow spot ; spurs 
red. Abdomen broad, shining, segments 2 to 4 each with a 
broadly interrupted basal cream-coloured band, the lower 
margin of which on each side is convex ; apical segments 
with a good deal of black hair; ventral segments with thin 
fringes of long hair. Maxillary palpi with six subequal 
joints, the basal ones the longest; labial palpi with one long 
joint and three short ones, which together do not exceed the 
long ones. 
3 .—More slender ; pale markings light lemon-yellow, as 
follows :—face below antennze (including supraclypeal band 
and dog-ear marks), rapidly narrowing extensions of lateral 
marks about halfway up sides of front, interrupted band on 
prothorax above, anterior and middle knees, anterior tibice in 
front, greater part of anterior tarsi, a rather vague mark at 
base of middle tarsi, and basal bands on abdominal segments 
2 to 6, at most slightly interrupted in middle. The apex of 
abdomen has a long tuft of fuscous hairs, curled upward, 
appearing pallid when seen from beneath. On the venter, 
subapically, is a broad strap-shaped lobe, broadest in middle, 
emarginate at end, and with plumose hairs arranged along 
the sides as a fringe, the apex also hairy. This lobe arises 
from the apical margin of the fifth segment. 
Type from Santiago, Chile; two $s received years ago 
from Prof. H. 8. G. Titus as C. submetallicum, Spinola, 
which is a larger insect with greenish abdomen, belonging to 
the genus Liopeum. 
There are also beforeme 2 9 andl @ of C. reedi collected 
by E. C. Reed in Chile (U.S. Nat. Museum). I expected to 
find this identical with one of the species of Spinola, Friese, 
or Vachal; but it is evidently distinct from all. There is a 
superficial resemblance to the paler-haired form of C. hirsut- 
ulum, Spin.
