SAMOUELLP/S 



excessively minute : second segment of the body 

 large, subthoraciform and composed apparently of 

 two segments : anterior feet large, compressed, 

 hooked, extending nearly to the top of the head ; the 

 two posterior pairs of the same shape, but so short 

 as scarcely to reach beyond the coxa of the tirst pair, 

 besides being in some measure hid in the concavity 

 of the body : the third segment of the body is short- 

 est, and the others lengthen gradually to the twelfth 

 which is convex, and marked with strongly im- 

 pressed points : but the singular part of the body is 

 the tail or thirteenth segment, at the end of which is 

 an anal aperture ; this segment is slightly convex above 

 and-fiattish below, but armed at the extremity with 

 two sharp horny appendages, curved upwards; in 

 colour and appearance this forked process resembles 

 the caudal appendage of certain Forficuto." Horce
