90 Mr. M. Burr — Notes on the Forflcularia. 



abdomen cylindricum, fuscuni ; segmentum ultiinum magnum, 

 quadratum, margine postico tuberculato : forcipis brachia $ 

 basi remota, recta, apice incurva, mucronibus attingentibus, rubra, 

 margine interno crenulata, baud dentata ; $ recta, deplanata, 

 minute crenulata. 



6. $. 



Long, corporis 11 mm. 10*25 mm. 



„ forcipis 4 ,, 3-5 „ 



Head flattened, clear brick-red ; eyes small, black : an- 

 tennae 15-segmentate ; first segment long, testaceous, dark at 

 the apex ; the other segments are black, except segments 

 10-11, which are clear white ; from the second, the segments 

 are short, gradually lengthening. 



Pronotuni as broad as the head, chocolate-brown, the 

 margins whitish or testaceous ; the anterior border is slightly 

 round-convex ; the sides are parallel ; the hinder border is 

 rounded. 



Elytra perfectly developed; chocolate-brown, dull, a little 

 broader than the pronotuni at the shoulders, hinder borders 

 obliquely truncate, slightly sinuate. 



Wings ample, projecting well beyond the elytra, of the same 

 colour, with a pale spot at the apex on the inner margin (this 

 spot is sometimes very faint). 



Feet dark testaceous, varied with paler. 



Abdomen slightly depressed, the sides parallel; rich brown 

 in the centre, darker at the sides ; abdominal tubercles 

 distinct, black. Last dorsal segment of the <$ simple, not 

 sulcate, with a row of small tubercles on the hinder margin, 

 which is straight. In the ? the last dorsal segment slightly 

 narrower, with a faint sulculus near the hinder margin, the 

 tubercles smaller and fewer in number. The penultimate 

 ventral segment $ is ample, almost entirely covering the last 

 segment, nearly rectangular, the hinder margin rounded. 



Pygidium not visible. 



forceps : J 1 branches remote at the base and three-keeled 

 there, then simple, nearly straight, gradually converging to 

 meet at the apex ; in the apical half on the inner margin there 

 are three small teeth ; the forceps are bent noticeably down- 

 wards from the base. ? brandies simple, straight, remote 

 at the base, more or less flattened, the apices meeting; the 

 inner margin near the base is very slightly dilated and crenu- 

 late ; otherwise the branches are unarmed.
