100 Mr. M. Burr — Notes on the Forficularia. 



j^t a right angle, then obtuse, not meeting ; near the base on 

 the upperside on each branch there is a long and strong 

 conical obtuse tooth, pointing upwards and obliquely outwards 

 backwards ; forceps all black, entirely unarmed except for 

 these large tubercular teeth.

This curious form recalls Ancistrogaster in the form of the 

 abdomen, but the antennae are different. It is very distinct 

 from any known form of Anechura, and in appearance 

 resembles certain species of Ckelisoches, except for the dilated 

 abdomen, which is oval in shape.

This species is represented by a variety in which the pro- 

 notum has no pale border, the head is reddish. The antenna? 

 have 21 segments, of which the tenth to twelfth and the last 

 two are pale whitish.
