 Mayotti and Aiijaani. 



The copulatiiMi foot of the males of poci/i «lirt'ers from that of rimritis, 

 as ti^nired by Kars<h, in havinj,' the femoral part twire as loii^- as the 

 tibial, and the lower h)be of the tibial part is wide and thin, with adis 

 linct iiH'dian thiekening, not eylindrieal as in ric<iriu.s.

Amonji the material sent by Poey is a <lried female, which agrees 

 perfe<tly with the descriptions of the above species. 



5. Stenonia maculata. sp. iiov. 



hiiUjHotils. — Uelated to Xtenonio fitnhriatt( ( I'eters), but at once sep- 

 arated by the tubereulation of the dorsal plates, by the iieiiulatioii of 

 lateral carii:.e, by the character of anal sejifinentand the pattern of col- 

 oration. 



The following is a careful description of the species: Kosy, especially 

 the tubercles; nearly all the repujiiiatorial pore bearing segments with 

 a dec'i) blotch on each side above the carina-; antenna' dark, legs pale. 

 Body wide, <'onvex, not attenuated anteriorly, slightly posteriorly. An- 

 tenna' short, subdavate. First segment very wide, completely conceal- 

 ing the head as \i\ Jimhri((tiis ; a row of small scales along the posterior 

 margin; two large median scales; along anterior margin a row of 

 twelv<' rectangular scales, between the third ami fourth from posb'rior 

 angle a distinct not(;h, between the others a slight waviness. Other 

 segments with three distinct rows of scales with smaller ones inter- 

 sjK'rsed; lateral carina' crenulate the tirst six, the eighth, eleventh, and 

 fourteenth, with two crenulation^^, the rest with three; a distinct me- 

 dian <lorsal line. Anal segment with six tuben;les along posterior 

 margin; j)reanal scale obtuse, with two long, slcjider S])ines. 



Length, <?(>""", 9 1L'..V""'; width. S IM*""", 9 2.8""". 



This new species belongs to the subgenus Stenonia { = PI((ti/rh((cn.s). 



Among the material sent by Prof. Poey is a dried male and female of 

 this si)e<'ies.
