Chelophores one-fifth as long a=) proboscis, scape undivided, 

 distal segment irreoular in form. Palps of ten segments. 

 Leps with first and third coxrc equal, second longer by one- 

 half, first coxa with two distal tubercles or very short spurs, 

 second with one tubercle beyond middle of its lengt'i. 

 First legs with well-marl>cd but very short claw, second tibi.i 

 a little shorter than femur, tarsus about one-third of femur 

 and longer than propodus. Posterior legs with second til)i:i

liemarhs. — Loman, identifying Slater's species with A. ra- 

 mipes (Bohni), places in the same synonymy A. bicornis, 

 Ortmann, regarding as unimportant the dilTerenccs said to 

 distinguish the last-named species, but not discussing them 

 in detail. Ortmann states that A. Ucornis has a claw on the 

 first legs and the abdomen only half as long as the proboscis, 

 while A. ramipes has no claw on the first legs and the abdomen 

 equal to the proboscis. In the present specimen the abdomen 

 is about one-third as long as the proboscis and the other 

 characters are as given by Ortmann. Bohra's figure and 

 description of A. ramipes ])resent some inconsistencies, but 

 Ortmann confirms his account of the very long abdomen and 

 the clawless first le<rs.
