Head rounded, black, shining, reddish posteriorly ; mouth- 
parts paler ; antenne 13- -segmentate, segments 1, 2, and 12 
pale, the rest fuscous. Pronotum shining, black ; lateral 
margins testaceous, as broad as the head; posterior margin 
rounded. Hlyéra shining fuscous, exterior margins testaceous, 
about half as long again as the pronotum, truncated poste- 
riorly. Wings absent. Feet testaceous, marbled with 
fuscous ; tarsi testaceous, thickly clothed with fine pale hairs. 
Abdomen shining fuscous; last 4 segments, excepting the 
apical, reddish, all very finely punctulated above ; no lateral 
tubercles ; last dorsal segment fuscous, posterior margin 
sinuate. Pygidium is a short blunt tubercle, not reaching 
beyond the last ventral plate. Forceps, ¢, with the branches 
distant at the base, long and slender, slightly approximating 
in the first half, then diverging, incurved at the apex, where 
they meet, sometimes decussating ; at the centre of the inner 
margin there are two sharp, small teeth, pointing posteriorly, 
the second one sometimes nearly aeeclece 3.

(H. Friihstorfer). Type i in coll. m. 
This peculiar species has the appearance of an Op/stho- 
cosmia, but the cylindrical second joint of the tarsi at once 
separates it; the forceps somewhat resemble that of Labia 
cheliduroides, Borm., from Mexico. It can be at once recog- 
nized by the long and slender ferceps. Perhaps a new genus 
might be created for those species of Labia with these long 
and peculiar forceps (cheliduroides, Borm., and dolicha, 
supra).
