distinct from it in the number of its eyes and maxillary 

 teeth. 



Henicops insignis^ sp. n. 



Colour deep ochraceous, closely mottled with darker patches; 

 antennte, tarsi of legs, and maxillipedes pale ochraceous. 



Body robust, narrower in its anterior half. 



Head superiorly impressed, frontal plate distinct. 



Antemice long, pubescent, composed of 46 segments, of 

 which the apical is much longer than the penultimate. 



Maxillary coxa? with a median longitudinal impression ; 

 anterior border produced, deeply excised in the middle line, 

 with two small teeth on each side. 



Tergites sparsely hairy and sparsely granular, lightly 

 wrinkled, with raised margins, the ninth, eleventh, and thir- 

 teenth with straight posterior borders. 



Sternites lightly impressed on each side. 



Legs armed with seta3, the tihice, except those of the last 

 three pairs, with their external distal margin produced into a 

 strong spine-tipped tooth ; the legs increasing in length from 

 before backwards ; the anal legs very long, considerably more 

 than half the length of the body, the tibia and first tarsal 

 segments the longest. 



Coxal pores conspicuous, round, 4, 4, 4, 4. 



G enerative forceps of the female without basal spurs ; claw 

 simple, obtuse. 



Length 19 millim. 



Two specimens ( cJ ? ) from Juan Fernandez (' Challenger ') . 



This species differs from chilensis of Gervais — assuming 

 the figure of the last-named to be trustworthy — in having 

 much longer antenna?, these appendages in cliilensis being- 

 composed of less than 20 segments ; moreover, the anal legs 

 of chilensis are very much shorter and the femur appears to 

 be spined. 



Henicops emarginatus of Newport, from New Zealand, 

 resembles //. insignis in having the posterior borders of the 

 tergites straight and the angles rounded ; but it has only 

 about 26 antcnnal segments. 



H. maculatus of Newport ( = H. impressus, Hutton, Ann. & 

 Mag. Nat. Hist. (4) xx. p. 115), found in Tasmania and New 

 Zealand, has from 36-38 antennal segments, 6 (according to 

 Hutton 8) maxillary teeth, the posterior borders of the ninth, 

 eleventh, and thirteenth tergites deeply emarginate, and the 

 anal legs very long, the proximal metatarsal segment being- 

 composed of two and the distal of four segments ; the coxal
