of the otlicr spcciis of the group, the cilia of h)n«5 hairs on 

 the ventral sej^ineiits is missing. The lirst abdominal seg- 

 ment is much longer and more slender than in any other 

 species of the group cxccj)t consuctipes. The anteunal 

 structure rescmhies spnji, hut the peculiarities are rather 

 more dcvelo[)C(l than m that species.

(J. Eyes very strongly convergent towards the cly[)cu3, 

 separated at the base ot" the anteuuae by a distance not quite 

 equal to the length ot" the scape. Apical joint of the tla- 

 gelhim longer than the penultimate, very feebly curved. 

 iMe!>oplcurie horizontally striated on the upper jjortion. A 

 transverse foveolate groove at the base of the scutcUum ; 

 postscutellum and basal area of the median segment coarsely 

 longitudinally striated, the dorsal surface of the median 

 i^cgmcnt on the sides rugose, separated from the sides of the 

 segment by distinct carinic, the sides of the segment rugose- 

 striate. First abdominal segment narrowed to the base, at 

 the apex only one-third of the breadth of the apex of the 

 si-cond segment. Fourth and filth ventral segments with 

 distinct apical ciliie. Fore tarsi not ciliated ; intermediate 

 tibiie with two equal ajjical spines ; hind tibiie moderately 

 spinose. The neuration is similar to spryi, but the spurious 

 vein branching from the first transverse cubital ncrvurc is 

 not clearly defined, and on one side the first transverse 

 cubital nervure is incomplete, not reaching the radius.

This belongs to the ciliatus group ; the first abdominal 

 segment is more slender than in other species of the group.
