runiisbuil with I'iisciculatcjd seriated ciliae iu both sexes ; hook huii;' and .i;'radual ; 

 end-segment conical, not prolonged into a filamentous process. Abdomen conical, 

 ending- in $ in a fan-tail which is truncate or triangulate ; spines elongate, rather 

 strongly chitinised. Merum of midcoxa angulate ; tibiae simple, spurs uucc|ual, 

 long terminal one of hindtibia less than half the first tarsal segment, this e^nal to 

 segments 2 to 4 ; midtarsus with moderate comb. Wings entire; apex of forewing 

 ju'oduced, hinder margin deeply sinuate, D' shorter than D' ; U- of hiudwiug in or 

 before centre, D' longer than D'. 



cJ. Tenth segment simple; tergite densely hii-sute (PI. XLIV. f. 22j, not 

 compressed, slightly curved, apex rounded ; sternite almost as long as tergite, much 

 broader, compressed, curved, higher than broad, ajiex transversely ribbed. Clasper 

 broad, dorsal and ventral margin convex ; a patch of slender friction-scales ; harj)0 

 small (PI. IL. f. 7. S). Penis-sheath peculiar ; a very large flap covers the apex of 

 the sheath dorsally, armed with two or more long teeth at the edge (PL LV. 

 f. 15. 17); this fla]i is connected with the sheath by a short, subcylindrical stalk, 

 and breaks easily off; beneath the flap the sheath is dilated at the left side, sub- 

 globiform, and armed with short conical teeth (PI. LV. f. 10). 

 ? . Vaginal jilate narrow at end ; orifice large, edges raised.

J?. This species resembles in colour the ti[)ec'\eii of J/eileji/t/la, //i/jjot/io"^ and 

 pluckla especially, and has always beeu considered gencrically identical with them. 

 However, bhiuja belongs with molacca in one genus, being a distant derivation 

 from Nephek. 



c?. Tenth segment represented in lateral aspect by PI. XLIV. f 22. Harpe 

 (PI. IL. f. 7) truncate ; dorsal margin of clasper strongly convex. Penis-sheath 

 (PI. LV. f. 15, dorsal view): lobe with long slender teeth all round; globose 

 dentate part of sheath large (PI. LV. f. l(j, ventral aspect). 



?. Not dissected. Antenna little thinner than those of J*.
