258 Mr. R. I. Pocock on the Oenera and 



The head and mandibles are a uniform reddish yellow, the 

 two eyes alone being black ; the legs also are yellowish red, 

 though sligiitly infuscate distally, the posterior pair being 

 strongly tinted with a blood-red colour ; the posterior terga 

 are uniformly black all over, but the anterior are paler in the 

 middle ; and on each side of the sterna there is a blackish 

 spot. 



In both sexes the palpus is longer than tlie third leg and 

 its tibia is longer than the protarsus of the fourth, which is 

 distinctly shorter than the tibia of the same limb. 



A young specimen of this species, measuring 10 millim. in 

 total length, has only three malleoli on each side — two on the 

 coxa and one on the basal segment of the trochanter of the 

 fourth leg — as described in the so-called genus Zombis, 

 Simon. But in an example 15 millim. in length the two 

 additional malleoli have appeared.
