Head rounded, black, shining, reddish posteriorly ; mouth- 

 parts paler; antennaj 13-seg-raentate, segments 1, 2, and 12 

 pale, the rest fuscous. Pronotum shining, black ; lateral 

 margins testaceous, as broad as the head ; posterior margin 

 rounded. Elytra shining fuscous, exterior margins testaceous, 

 about half as long again as the pronotum, truncated poste- 

 riorly. JVirigs absent. Feet testaceous, marbled with 

 fuscous; tarsi testaceous, thickly clothed with fine pale hairs. 

 Abdomen shining fuscous ; last 4 segments, excepting the 

 apical, reddish, all very finely punctulated above ; no lateral 

 tubercles ; last dorsal segment fuscous, posterior margin 

 sinuate. Pygidium is a short blunt tubercle, not reaching 

 beyond the last ventral plate. Forceps, ^ , with the branches 

 distant at the base, long and slender, slightly approximating 

 in the first half, then diverging, incurved at the apex, where 

 they meet, sometimes decussating; at the centre of the inner 

 margin there are two sharp, small teeth, pointing posteriorly, 

 the second one sometimes nearly obsolete. ^ . 



Patria. Bua-Kraeng in tlie Southern Celebes, 5000' 

 [H. Fruhstorfer). Type in coll. m. 



This peculiar species has the appearance of an Op'stho- 

 cosmia^ but the cylindrical second joint of the tarsi at once 

 separates it ; the forceps somewhat resemble that of Labia 

 cheliduroides, Borm., from Mexico. It can be at once recog- 

 nized by the long and slender forceps. Perhaps a new genus 

 might be created for those species of Labia with these long 

 and peculiar forceps {cheliduroides^ Borm., and dolicha, 

 supra).
