4-5 angusta vel interrupta), posteriori dentata a striis 3-10. 

 Pedes albo-testacei. — Long. 5 V^-G millim. J" 9 . 



Palon (Pegu). 



The projecting eyes give this pretty little species an extraor- 

 dinary appearance; their base forms a short peduncle (longer 

 behind) projecting distinctly from the sides of the head ; they 

 are grayish-white with a round black spot on their upper sur- 

 face.

In the form of the mandibles and maxillae this genus agrees 

 with Pristomachaerus of the subfamily Callistinae; the palpi dif- 

 fer from those of the Callistinae in being glabrous and not 

 acuminated at the apex ; but especially in the penultimate joint 

 of the labials being plurisetose as in the Chlaeniinae.
