 this new speeies must be identical with /;/o///fM, but the proportions of

This si)ecies is very closely related to (i. Iiiinuiicus, but it seems to 

 be snttieiently distinct as sliown by the number of coxal pores, which 

 are 2.~)-.'U) in uund)er in smithi, but only 7 or S in linronicus; also by the 

 number of pairs of legs (hurtniiciis, S .">.'i-r>.~>, 9 ."»."»-.">7). 



This species is described from tw«) femah's, one of which is an adult, 

 the other beiuf; about thiee-fourths grown.

The specimens contained in the first two vials seem to belong' to that 

 ])hase of *S'. sexupirKtsus which has been described by 3Ieinert under the 

 name of *S'. fjeonjicus. The only real tangible difference I (^an tind be- 

 tween these specimens and the true fnxspinoaus is in the moderately 

 toothed condition of the prosternum. and I think it is best t«) consider 

 j/corfficHs as not a valid species.
