the tip. Tlie proportions of the tarsal joints are much the 

 same as in E. hnrnardi, except tiiat the first and fifth joints 

 are relatively a little longer; the first joint is as lonji; as the 

 next three taken together ; the second, third, and fourth 

 gradually decrease in length, while the fifth is as long as the 

 third and fourth combined. The male claws are swollen 

 towards the base, with a thin curved tip ; the basal portion 

 is densely hairy, almost pulvilliform, but there are no spines 

 on the underside. The female claws, on the other hand, 

 rather closely resemble the male claws of E. hamardi in 

 shape and in possessing several sharp sjjines on the underside. 

 The male claws are very interesting, as exhibiting some 

 approach to the abnormal pulvilliform claws of the male 

 JLtpalothrix luguhris. 



The wing-ven:ition is apparently the same as in E. hamardi, 

 altliough it is very difficult to make out in detail, owing to the 

 crumpled condition of the wings. 



Pupa of a somewhat ditferent shape from tliat of E. har- 

 nardi ; the portion in front of the respiratory horns descends 

 less steeply (at an angle of about 45° instead of about 60°). 

 The respiratory horns closely resemble those of E. baniardi. 



Larva in all essential features resembling that of E. bar- 

 tiardi, but much more spiny, the largest and most conspicuous 

 spines occurring on the lateral " pseudopodia." As in the 

 case of E. hamardi, the young larvai have three, the full- 

 grown ones five, gill-filaments in each tuft. Tiiere is a small, 

 slightly spiny, lateral projection on the anal segment, which 

 in AT. hamardi is hardly present, being represented by the 

 merest knob ; from this projection or kuob arise in both 

 species two long hairs, springing from a common base; these 

 hairs are rather longer and more conspicuous in E. hamardi 

 than in the new species. Tlie spiracles are present, as in 

 E. hamardi, and have a more complicated structure. Tlie 

 two pairs of anal papillae are very unequal in size and the 

 anal armature differs from that of E. hamardi. The ti[) of 

 the antennae bears two small appendages, one of which is 

 two-jointed. 



Sam7nary and Conclusions. 



1. It has been found necessary to found a new genus, 

 Elporia, for Kellogyina hamardi on account of the divided 

 eyes. This genus differs from most Blepharoceridaj in that 

 the females, like the males, have no mandibles. 



2. A new species of this genus is described, differing 

 markedly from E. hamardi in all its stages.
