Mr. M. Burr — Notes on the Forficularia. 487 



the new species described in these papers will be provisionally- 

 placed in the existing- genera to which they have the strongest 

 affinities.

J. 



Long, corporis 10 mm. 



,, forcipis 2 ,, 



Patria. South Australia (type in Mus. Hope, J"). 



There is a second specimen, agreeing entirely in structure, 

 but with a thick pale pubescence which is wanting in the 

 larger specimen, doubtless through being rubbed off; the 

 length of the body of the smaller one is 7 mm. 



This species almost exactly resembles G. Kirhyi^ Burr, but 

 differs in the strong tubercular tootii above the base of the 

 forceps (unarmed in O. Kirhiji) and the presence on the sides 

 of the antepenultimate dorsal segment of the keel which is 

 present on the last segment of both species ; the sides of the 

 last two or three segments in this species are more strongly- 

 hooked than in G. Kirbyi. 



I am pleased to dedicate it to Dr. Karl Verhoeff, in recog- 

 nition of his work upon the earwigs ; for though it is not 

 always possible to agree with his conclusions, the value of his 

 articles cannot be denied. 



Labia tenuipei^, sp. n. 



fusco-castanea, valde pubescens : antennae 15-segraentatae, nigree ; 

 scgrnento 3 clongato, cyliudrico, apice vix incrassato ; 4 cylindrico'
