408 . R. I. POCOCK 
6. Lithobius (s. sir.) feae, sp. n. 
Robust, shining; of the size and appearance of L. forficatus; 
ochraceo-castaneous above; paler beneath. . 
| Antennae composed of from twenty to twenty three segments; 
hirsute. 
Eyes composed of six ocelli arranged in two rows. 
Tergites slightly wrinkled laterally, finely punctured and fur- 
nished with scattered hairs proceeding from larger pores. 
Coxae of maxillary feet bearing in front on each side seven 
teeth. 
Coxae of the posterior four legs furnished with a single series 
composed of from 5-7 slightly elongate pores. 
Coxae of the anal legs furnished with a lateral spine. 
Genital appendages of the female bearing on each side three 
long spurs and a simple undivided claw. 
Length 20 mm. 
One specimen from Mount Mooleyit, at an altitude of 1800- 
1900 m. Collected by Sig. L. Fea. 
Unfortunately the only example of this species that was 
obtained is imperfect owing to the loss of the anal legs. So 
few representatives, however, of this genus have been recorded 
from the Oriental Region that there can be no question of the . 
distinctness of L. feae. In size and colour it very much resembles 
the well known L. forficatus, but it may be at once recognised 
by its shorter antennae and smaller number of ocelli. Moreover, 
the form of the female genital appendages is different in the 
two species. 
Of Oriental forms it comes nearest to L. semperi, Haase, from 
the Philippines; but this last has fewer maxillary coxal teeth 
and a differently formed genital appendage. From L. hardwicker, 
Newport, it may be recognised by its shorter antennae and 
fewer ocelli.
