HETEROPELMA. 407 



times the length of the second joint and double that of the four 

 apical united ; hind tarsi longer than their tibiae, with simple claws. 

 Wings f ulvescent, with the stigma testaceous and the tegulae red. 



Length 20-22 inillim.

Type in the Brussels Museum. 



From our other two species of this genus, the present is at once 

 known by its scabrous and not reticulate frons and the almost 

 immaculate external orbits of the eyes, which are so narrowly and 

 obscurely flavous as to have escaped Cameron's notice. 



I have seen two females, in the Calcutta Museum, agreeing 

 perfectly in all other respects with Cameron's diagnosis of 

 //. reticulatum, but with fulvescent wings. These are a little 

 larger than the usual German form, which extends only to at 

 most 20 milliru., and are correspondingly more coarsely sculptured ; 

 but I can trace no specific distinction from examples captured by 

 myself in the New Forest. I am not aware that its distribution 

 has hitherto been known to extend into Eastern Europe.

<5 . A red species, with the head and thorax black ; the former 

 with the mouth, face, frontal orbits shortly and external very 

 broadly throughout, flavous ; the latter with the scutellum, post- 

 scutellum and tegulse dull flavescent ; second abdominal segment 

 and the anus discally infuscate ; legs immaculate; wings hyaline. 



Length 18 millim. 



BURMA : Karen Hills, 1300-2000 ft., xi. 88 (L. Fea). 



Type in the Genoa Museum. 



This species is so similar to the last as to need no detailed 

 description ; it agrees with it throughout in sculpture, though 

 the coloration, and especially that of the wings, renders it 

 abundantly distinct. Described from a single male.

Heteropelma fulvif arse, Cameron, Mancli. Mem. 1899, p. Ill (). 



<$ $ . Head black, with the face, clypeus, frontal orbits, and 

 mandibles (except their teeth) flavous ; clypeus and face coarsely 

 and somewhat sparsely punctate, with sparse long white hairs ; 

 frons and vertex coarsely obliquely, and above closely, aciculate. 

 Antenna; dark red, with tlie flagellum basaily darker above. Thorax 

 immaculate; mesonotum strongly punctate laterally and irregu- 

 larly reticulate discally ; metathorax strongly reticulate; propleurae 

 strongly striolate centrally, obliquely aciculate below and apically 

 punctate above ; mesopleurse closely and finely punctate, with 

 their apices centrally glabrous ; mesosternum sparsely punctate 

 with the interpectoral sulcus shallow, considerably dilated apically 

 and with four transverse carinse. Abdomen elongate and red, with
