viral spines on the coxopleural process (with two dorsal) and 

 in having the median pits of the sternites of the middle region 

 of the body very weak. The species was previously known 

 from Borneo and New Britain. 



3. Otostigmus nemorensis Silvestri. 

 Locality. — Java : Buitzenzorg. 



A number of specimens were obtained. In all of these the 

 last ventral plate is clearly narrowed caudad, being less qua- 

 drate than would be inferred from the accounts of Silvestri 

 and Kraepelin. The species was previously known from Su- 

 matra. 



4. Otostigmus barbouri sp. nov. (PI. XVII, figs. 1-3). 



Dorsum olive green, with the head and prosternum a little more 

 brownish. Venter paler and less greenish than the dorsum. Legs 

 greenish distad of the prefemora. 



Head shining. Distinctly punctate, as is also the first dorsal plate. 

 Unfurrowed. 



Antennae composed of 20 articles. The proximal 2 1-3 articles 

 glabrous and shining; the others densely clothed with fine short hairs 

 of the usual type. 



Dental plates of prosternum moderately long. Teeth 4 plus 4; the 

 inner pair and the outer pair on each side separated by a wider and 

 deeper interval than that between the members of each pair ; the most 

 ectal tooth much smaller than the adjoining one, as is also, though less 

 so, the most mesal. 



Dorsal plates from the fourth to the twentieth longitudinally bisul- 

 cate, the sulci fine but distinct, excepting on the fourth plate, where 

 they are less pronounced at ends. Plates of the middle and caudal 

 regions of body with a flat, inconspicuous or often obscure median 

 keel, but with no lateral keels whatsoever. Plates from the ninth to 

 the twenty-first distinctly margined ; the seventh and eighth also with 

 margins less sharply set off by longitudinal depressions ; the twenty- 

 first plate most sharply margined. Plates of the middle and caudal 

 regions weakly longitudinally rugose at sides and finely sparsely 

 scabrous, the minute spinous points becoming more distinct caudad. 



Last dorsal plate with the median keel obscurely indicated on the 

 anterior two-thirds of length, the keel being followed caudad by a 

 moderate longitudinal depression. Caudal margin obtusely angular, 

 mesally a little rounded. 



Ventral plates distinctly subdenscly punctate. Those from the sec- 

 ond to the nineteenth inclusive with distinct traces of longitudinal
