Mr. M. BuiT — Xotes on the Forficularia. 489 



It will require a new genus for its reception, but its 

 affinities are with the genus Labia, though it does not 

 resemble any species known to me. 



The uniiiue specimen has the loft branch of the forceps 

 missing, and the right branch appears to have been broken 

 off at the apex. Otherwise it is in good condition.

Paiiia. Mentawei, Sipora, Sereinu, v.-vi. 1894: taken by 

 Modigliani, one male (type in coll. mea). 



The type o£ this species has long been in my collection, 

 labelled "C-^. Fe(e, Borra.?'' from de Bormans's own collec- 

 tion. It is distinct, however, from Ch. Few, on account of the 

 short and broad pygidium of the male, which has the angles 

 produced into small, sharp tubercles or lobes ; otherwise it 

 resembles Ch. Fece closely, in form and colour. The female 

 is not yet known.
