95. Hyloicus geminus sjiee. nov. (PI. XI. f. :i, ?). 



S ?. This species is so close in pattern to hit/ens that it cannot, with certainty, 

 he recognised as distinct without dissection. It is therefore ((uite natural that it 

 has been overlooked and stands in collections confounded with lagens. The only 

 character by which geminus can apparently constantly be se])ai'ated from Itigens, 

 ajjart of the sexual armature, is the presence of five conspicuous^black spots on the 

 underside of the abdomen. 



S. Tenth abdominal tergite as in l/igeiis ; the sternite narrower. Harpe 

 (PI. XXXVI. f 20) essentially different, rounded distally, reaching beyond middle 

 of clasjier, slightly curved dorsad distally, ventral and dorsal edges almost parallel, 

 dorsal edge heavily dentate, ventro-apical edge less so. Penis-sheath as in litgem. 



?. Vasinal ])late concave distally (PI. XX. f. 13), the lateral edges being 

 liere raised : orifice of vagina rather large, at each side with a small groove, which 

 is formed by a proximal and a distal fold that are fused together laterally. 



Early stages not known.
