Mr. M. Burr on new Species of Forficularia. 165 



Forficula? remota, sp. n. 



Corpus glabrum ; staturamajore ; antennae segmentis 13, gracilibus, 

 elongatis ; caput pronoto latius ; pronotum angustum, margine 

 antico recto, margine postico subrotundato, angulis rotundatis ; 

 elytra basi dilatata, latiora, apice angustata, oblique truncata ; 

 alse valde prominentes ; tarsorum articulus secundus cordiformis, 

 minimus ; abdomen apice quam basi paullo latius, plicis tuberculi- 

 formibus segmentorum abdominalium 2 et 3 vix distinguendis ; 

 forceps c? gracilis, cruribus basi dilatatis, subcontiguis, pygidio 

 tantum separatis, apicem versus atteuuatis, iucurvis, apice attin- 

 gentibus, in tcrtia parte basali supra vel margine interno dentibus 

 validis binis armatis ; forceps £ gracilis, inermis, cruribus basi 

 contiguis, subrectis, decussatis ; pygidium quadratum, tf margine 

 postico minutissime emarginato, 5 marginibus rectis, integris. 



Colour testaceous or reddish, varied with fuscous. 



Head large and flat, reddish testaceous or black. Eyes 

 black. Antennce long, 13-segmentate, the segments long and 

 slender ; segments 10-11 pale, the remainder darker. 

 Mouth-parts pale. 



Pronotum small, considerably narrower than the head, 

 paler in colour, raised anteriorly, depressed posteriorly, 

 showing a faint median cannula ; anterior margin straight, 

 rectangular ; posterior margin slightly rounded ; the angles 

 rounded. 



Elytra large, fuscous or testaceous, broad at the shoulders, 

 narrower at the apex, where they are obliquely truncate. 

 Wings protruding well beyond the elytra, narrow, dark 

 fuscous, sometimes with a large pale discoidal spot. 



Legs pale testaceous; femora and tibiee with a few hairs; 

 tarsi hirsute. 



Abdomen reddish testaceous, slightly broader at the apex 

 than at the base ; the tubercles of the second and third 

 segments very faint. 



Forceps testaceous. £ with the branches dilated at the 

 base, subcontiguous, only separated by the pygidium ; the 

 basal third is dilated, armed in the centre and at the apex of 

 this third with a blunt tooth, sometimes directed horizontally, 

 sometimes perpendicularly, the basal part itself minutely 

 crenulate on the inner margin ; from the second tooth the 

 branches attenuate, incurved, to meet at the apex, where they 

 slightly decussate. $ with branches attenuating from the 

 slightly dilated base, nearly straight, decussating near the 

 apex, concealing the pygidium. 



Pygidium square ;. <$ with the margins faintly crenulate,
