  This 
  and 
  the 
  following 
  species 
  are 
  very 
  closely 
  allied. 
  

   The 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  pygidium 
  is 
  quite 
  distinctive, 
  but 
  only 
  the 
  

   apical 
  portion 
  is 
  really 
  noticeable, 
  the 
  basal 
  triangular 
  lateral 
  

   dilatations 
  being 
  quite 
  hidden 
  in 
  one 
  specimen 
  and 
  only 
  just 
  

   discernible 
  in 
  the 
  other. 
  One 
  specimen 
  is 
  macropterous, 
  tlie 
  

   other 
  brachypterous.

  The 
  type 
  will 
  be 
  deposited 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  resembles 
  the 
  preceding, 
  but 
  is 
  of 
  rather 
  more 
  

   slender 
  build 
  and 
  a 
  little 
  longer. 
  The 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  pygidium 
  

   and 
  forceps 
  is 
  quite 
  different.
