Mr. M. Burr — Notes on the Forficularia. 255 



Last dorsal segment transverse in both sexes, ample, poste- 

 rior margin straight ; on each side there is a longitudinal 

 ridge wiiicii runs into the posterior margin at the angles, 

 which are rounded. 



Penultimate ventral segment c? transverse, with a sliallow, 

 median, round emargination and each lobe broadly rounded ; 

 in ? not emarginate, obtuse-angular. 



Forceps with the branches remote in ($ at base, stout, 

 triquetre, tapering arcuate, straight, contiguous, triquetre, 

 and serrate. 



Peru: Fonteboa (//a/«/zeZ, cJ , in Mus. Greifswald) ; Iguapo 

 ( ? in c. m., et coll. Gadeau de Kerville). 



This species approaches nearest to P. paraguayensis, Bor., 

 but is smaller and differs in pattern. It can hardly be con- 

 fused with the other species, if only on account of its much 

 smaller size. 



Am'solahis, ?sp. n. 



Victoria (West Africa). 



There are six specimens of Amsolahls from Victoria. I 

 dare not offer an opinion on them ; probably some at least 

 are immature specimens of Psah's. One adult appears to be 

 allied to A. compressa, Borelli, but is less compressed, and 

 the antennae and feet are somewhat differently coloured. 



Anisolabis marifima, Borm. 

 N. 17, 481. Probably referable to this species. 



BrachyJabis nigra, Scudd. 

 Fonteboa {Uahnel), 1 ? . 



PsaJis cincti'coUisj Gerst. 



This specimen is Gersttecker's type. It is, unfortunately, 

 a female, but it is evidently a Psah's. It is larger than 

 P. picina, Kirby, the other West-African species, and is 

 probably quite distinct. In the short elytra and pronotum it 

 approaches to P.dehilis, Burr (East Africa) ; in the yellowish 

 basal segments of the antennae it agrees with both ; in the 

 relatively long fourth antennal segment it apj)roaches 

 P. pici/ia. It is to be hoped that the male will be discovered 

 soon, so that its true relations may be determined.
