All the spines are roniuled at the tip. Above the comb iu close proximity to the 

 last spine there is the strongly chitiuised eye, which appears to be reduced as 

 regards its function as an organ of sight. The occiput has three rows of bristles. 

 The antennal groove is closed. The bristles on the second segment of the antenna 

 are short in both sexes. The club reaches to the hiudmargin of the antenual groove, 

 being very little shorter in the ? than in the <S. The proboscis extends a little 

 beyond the centre of the forecoxa. 



Thora.r. — The pronotum has one row of bristles and a comb of twelve obtuse 

 spines, the apical lobe situated below the comb being about as wide as two spines 

 taken together. The mesonotum, which is somewhat shorter than the metanotum, 

 bears two rows of bristles, some additional dorsal bristles and a basal row of very 

 small ones, besides some internal subapical sctiform spines, of which one is placed 

 a short distance above the ventral angle. The mesopleura have five or six bristles. 

 There are two bristles, one long and one short, on the metepisternum, one on the 

 metasternum, two complete rows and an incomplete one on the metanotum, and six 

 or seven bristles (3, 3 or 4) on the metepimerum. The apical edge of the metanotum 

 is denticulate like the abdominal tergites, but has no spines. 



Abdomen. — The tergites bear two rows of bristles, but the anterior row is only 

 represented by a few bristles on the posterior segments. One bristle is placed 

 below the stigma. The posterior row contains twelve or thirteen bristles on the 

 central segments. Tergites I to IV or V have one or more apical spines. The 

 antepygidial bristle is rather short and stumpy. The steniites of segments III 

 to VII in the S and III to VI in the ¥ bear four long bristles on the two sides 

 together, sternite VII of the ? seven or eight, there being no small bristles in 

 front of the row. 



Legs. — The subapical sinus of the hindcoxa is very shallow, the angle above it 

 being but very slightly prominent. The comb on the inner surface of this coxa 

 consists of six or seven spiniform bristles. All the femora bear in the apical half 

 about half a dozen subdorsal bristles and two ventral subapical ones, there being 

 an additional bristle above and somewhat posterior to the second subapical one on 

 the mid- and hindfemora and two or three lateral ones on the forefemur. The 

 inside of the femora bears a small ventral bristle near the apex and a subventral 

 one (occasionally absent) towards the base. The tibiae are covered on the outside 

 with numerous bristles (about thirty on the hindtibia, apart from those placed at 

 the anterior edge) and their dorsal edge bears five pairs of bristles exclusive of 

 the apical bristles. There are two more single bristles in between the second and 

 third and fourth and fifth pairs respectively. Of the dorsal bristles of the tibiae 

 the outer ones do not form a coml), as in the case of LejjtOjtuijlla and Ili/psoph- 

 tkalmus (u/anippes. The apical bristles of the hindtarsal segments do not extend 

 to the apex of the next segment, the first segment bearing the longest bristle, which 

 nearly reaches to the apical bristle of the second segment. The fourth hindtarsal 

 segment is twice; as long as it is broad. The measurements of the tarsi are as 

 follows :
