PEESEKVED IN AMBEK, FEOM PRUSSIA. 



14!) 



partem basalem intus dilatata ac tleplanta, hac parte intus denticulata, dentc nullo 

 terminata. 



Long, corporis 8 - 5-10 mm. 



„ forcipis 3 „ 



Antenna? as in F. klebsi. 



Head broad, the eyes big. 



Pronotum about as broad as the head ; the anterior margin gently convex in the 

 middle ; sides gently, posterior margin strongly, rounded. 



Elytra and wings ample, long, parallel, smooth, the former truncate apically ; the 

 elytra are black, with a slightly oblique rather broad brown discoidal band ; the wings 

 brown, with a black band near the suture. 



Legs black ; second tarsal segment strongly lobed. 



Abdomen slate-coloured, almost parallel-sided ; last dorsal segment simple, transverse, 

 truncate. 



Pygidium short and rounded. 



Forceps with the branches dilated and depressed, the depressed part with inner margin 

 denticulate : the dilated part dies out a little beyond the first third of the total length of 

 the forceps, ending in an obtuse angle, with no tooth ; beyond this point, the branches 

 are slenderer and nearly straight, very gently curved at the apex. 



Nos. 4182 (type) and 4175, both <? 6 . 



This species differs from the last in the narrowed pronotum, which is rounded 

 posteriorly, in the rounded pygidium and dilated forceps. The latter are of the typical 

 Forfwula form, and recall those of the Indian F. beehebub, Burr, and the African 

 F. senecjalensis, Serv. 



Foeficula sp. (PL 31. fig. 10.) 



This specimen is so badly preserved that it is useless to describe it ; it has some 

 resemblance to F. baltica, but the texture is not discernible. 



Forficula sp. (PL 31. fig. 11.) 



A mutilated female, of which only the ventral view is offered : the tarsi are Forficuline : 

 it may well be a female of F. klebsi. 



? Labidtjra sp. (PL 31. fig. 12.) 



No. 417G. 



A small larva, 3*5 mm. long, with simple second tarsal segment; this may be due to 

 immaturity, in which case the specimen maybe a larva of one of the species of For/icula 

 described. I can detect no trace of segmentation in the forceps, which are perfectly 

 straight.
