NORTH AMERICAN APTERYGOGENEA. I 73 



Gen. II. Lepidocyrtus Bourlet. 

 Lepidocyrtus Parckardi n. sp. 



(The specific name is given in honor of Professor A. 

 S. Packard, Jr.) 



White with a bluish black delineation. The eyes are 

 sixteen, eight on each side of the head. The terminal joint 

 of the antennce is longer than the -preceding. The upper 

 claw is strongly developed and provided with three teeth. 

 The lower claw is lanceolate and unarmed. The furcula 

 is long; the denies are rapidly tapering, twice as long as 

 the manubrium; the mucrones are long and thin, at the 

 point provided with only one hook. Length j.j mm. 



The second joint of the antennce is slightly longer than 

 the third, which is about half as long as the terminal 

 joint. The terminal segment of the furcula is very narrow, 

 a little curved, and provided with only one tooth. The 

 body is covered with hairs, now club-shaped, now pointed 

 and bristly, or even simple and straight. The first sort 

 of hairs are heaped between the several segments of the 

 body and on the head, the second on the dentes of the 

 furcula, the third everywhere on the animal, especially 

 on the antennas and extremities. 



From the specimens at my disposal it cannot be pos- 

 itively concluded as to the real color of the animal. 

 The ground color seems on alcoholic specimens to be 

 pure white, and the delineation bluish black. The 

 antennas are now bronze-brown, now deep blue. 



Habitat. Sierra Laguna, Baja California. (Coll. G. 

 Eisen.) 



Lepidocyrtus fulvus n. sp. 



Yellow. The eyes are sixteen, eight on each side of the 

 head. The second and third joints of the antennce are of 

 about the same length, the terminal joint a fourth longer
