Mr. M. Burr — Notes on the Forficularia. 253 



1. Lept'isolahis philetas, Burr. 



Brac/ii/Iabis philetas, Burr, J. Bombay N. H. Soc. xiv. p. 322, pi. B, 

 fig. 7 (1902). 



The description and figure render tliis little species unmis- 

 takable; the transverse depression on the mesonotum is very 

 characteristic. 



2. Leptisolahis punctata, Dubr. 



Brachylabis ptmctata, Dubr. Ann. Mas. Civ, Gen. xiv. p. 3o7, fig., J 

 (1879) ; id. Tierreich, Forf. p. 53 (1900) (partim) ; 7iec Borm. Ann. 

 Mus. Civ. Gen. (2) vi. p. 436 (1888) & loc. cit. xvi. p. 379 (1894). 



If we exclude the Burmese specimen taken by Fea, de Bor- 

 mans^s remarks and notes apply to this species. It is quite 

 different from B. philetas, but it is impossible to discriminate 

 it accurately from the African species of Verhoeff without a 

 comparison of authentic specimens. 



3. Leptisolahis usamhurana, Verb., and 

 4. L. theorice, Verb. 



VerhoefF suggests that the latter is a subspecies of the 

 former, which is very probable. Both are from German 

 East Africa, but it is unsatisfactory to discuss the species 

 without an examination of the type. 



Subfamily TI. Parisolabinje (Verb. Arch. f. Naturg. 1904, 



p. 119). 



VerhoefF separates this subfamily from the Isolabinge by 

 the shining frons, which is thus distinct from the rest of the 

 head, without lines, but with the two impressed points. The 

 eyes are only moderately large, separated from the posterior 

 margin of the head by their own diameter; abdomen with a 

 lateral tubercle j second tarsal segment half as long as the 

 third. Forceps of the male remote ; tenth abdominal segment 

 truncate at the posterior margin. 



Genus V. Parisolabis, Verb. 



This genus is monotypic, the only known species being 

 Parisolabis novce-zeelandice, Verb. (op. cit. p. 120). 



Commander Walker has given me a male from New 

 Zealand which I attributed provisionally to this species, but 

 a glance at Verhoeff's types, on the occasion of a ilying visit 

 to the Berlin Museum, showed me that they are " not like
