specimen under review with termites would seem to strengthen 

 tiie latter suggestion. 



Hah, 1 S, Mt. Matang, W. Sarawak, 28. i. 14, under 

 bark with termites [G. E. Brtjani). 



Hhuhlania apicaUs, sp. n.

Colour yellow to ligiit A'ellowish-brown ; abdominal seg- 

 ments 8 to 10 dark clie.stnut-brown ; liead, intermediate and 

 hind tibite brown. Antennal joints 1, 2, 7, and 8 brown, 

 2 sometimes yellowish distally, 3 to 5 clear yellow, 6 tinged 

 with brown. Fore-femora and tibije yellow, tinged to 

 greyish-brown at outer margins ; intermediate and hind 

 femora yellow. 



Head only about 1*15 times as long as broad; cheeks 

 practically sul)parallel, almost imperceptibly curved. Mouth- 

 cone not reaching across proslernum, apex almost truncate. 

 Eyes occupying about O'o the total length ot" head ; post- 

 ocular bristles neither strong or long, blunt. Ocelli mode- 

 rately large, posterior pair near to the interior margins o£ 

 eyes. Aiitennse about I'S times as long as head; relative 

 lengths o£ segments approximately 6 : 11 : 12 : 14 : 13 : 11 : 

 11 : 8; 3 obconical, 4 broader tliau 3 or 5, 7 and 8 broadly 

 united. 



Pronotum transverse, about 0*75 the length of head ; setse 

 blunt, those at posterior angles about 0'2 the length of pro- 

 notum and pair at angles still shorter and weaker; mid- 

 lateral pair apparently obsolete. Pterothorax practically 

 square, as broad as width across fore-coxae. Legs not long, 

 moderately stout; fore-tarsus with a small pointed tooth. 



Al)donien occupying about 065 the total length of insect, 

 broader at middle than the pterothorax; elongate, about four 

 times as long as broad across segments 3 to 6, and narrowed 

 sharply from base of 8 to apex. 



Tube about 0*55 the lengtii of head, 0*65 as broad at base 

 as long, where it is 2*4 times as broad as at extreme apex; 

 sharply narrowed and rather constricted near apex. Ter- 

 minal hairs a little longer than tube ; abdominal liairs mode- 

 rately long and slender, blunt or faintly knobbed, colourless. 



The coloration of the hind and intermediate tibia? is a 

 curious feature, the femora and tarsi being yellow and the 

 tibise brown.
