Che/ifer pallipes, White *. (PL YII. figs. 3 a-b.) 

 1849. A. White, (i) p. 6. 



Cephalothorax. — Two distinct eyes or ocular spots are 

 present. The cephalothorax seems to be longer than broad 

 behind, and becomes rather suddenly narrow in the anterior 

 third. The head slopes towards the front margin ; a dis- 

 tinct transverse groove, which is curved backwards in its 

 wliole length, is found near the middle ; a second groove 

 near the hindmost margin is indistinct and straight, as far as 

 I could make out. The cephalothorax is everywhere distinctly 

 granular. 



Abdome7i. — ^The grannlation is less distinct and there seems 

 to be a broad longitudinal line. 



Antenna. — The moderately long galea possesses at least 

 four distal branches. 



Palps (tigs. 3 a-b). — The palps appear quite polished ; but 

 are nevertheless granular, the granules being so low and so 

 near to each other that the whole surface appears to be covered 

 with a minute mosaic. The hairs, especially those of the inner 

 surface of the femur and tibia, are exceedingly long and 

 pointed ; at least most of the hairs bear one terminal tooth ; 

 the hand has also tactile hairs in addition to the ordinary 

 kinds. The palps are rather long and slender. The trochanter, 

 which has a long stalk, is distinctly longer than broad ; the 

 inner side is evenly convex, while the outer side is abruptly 

 convex, but not so marked that we can speak of a lower 

 posterior tubercle ; the dorsal surface posteriorly and near 

 the tip is slightly prominent like an upper tubercle. The 

 femur, which has a short distinct stalk, is slightly broader 

 than the trochanter and almost three times as long as broad ; 

 the inner side beyond the moderately concave stalk is slightly 

 convex for a very short distance, but thereafter almost 

 straight; the outer side just beyond the stalk is rather sud- 

 denly, but more distally evenly convex. The tibia, which is 

 both shorter and broader than the femur, has a long, well- 

 marked stalk ; the inner side, after the deep notch of the 

 stalk, is distinctly convex ; the outer side has a well-marked 

 basal prominence and a rather low elevation separated from 

 the former by a shallow notch before the moderate convexity 

 of the joint proper. The hand, which is alme.st as long as, 

 but distinctly broader than, the tibia, is distinctly longer 

 than, and as high as, the finger. 



* The name of Ch.palUpe'^, Rks., from America (Canad. Entomohigist, 

 vol. XXV. 1893, p. 64), must be t-liaiiged.
