Seres levis, sp. n. 



This is a smaller, duller and less metallic form than 

 the genotype, with slightly paler legs, the mid tibiae, 

 e.g., being only faintly embrowned dorsally. Both man- 

 dibles (fig. 3e) are here tridentate. The funicular joints 

 are relatively broader, the second hardly exceeding the 

 others. The general shape of the head is the same in levis 

 and armipes, but the proportions arc strikingly different 

 (see fig. 3). S. levis, sp. n., is less speciahsed than the 

 genotype, as may be seen in its larger and more normal 

 fore tibia and the longer eye, whose base line extends

below the toruli. The latter occupy the same position 

 relatively in both species. 

 The abdomen is also less modified than in tlic genotype. 



Head, length -75 mm., longer than broad (fig. 3d), across the 

 eyes 3 : 2 and at the base line of lobes flanking the clypeus 2:1, 

 Eyes fully half as long as the head. Toruli well above the base 

 line of the eyes, otherwise in the same relative position as in the 

 genotype. Lateral lobes inconspicuous, their sides converging, 

 clyj)eal projection short, very broad and deeply and evenly emar- 

 ginate, with a row of bristles (7-9) above and many others scattered 

 irregularly up to the level of the toruh. Antemia -75 mm. Scape
