wider than long, with converging sides and straight or lightly

M.H.F. 
Himantarium Doriae. 
convex posterior margin; legs (fig.) com- 
posed of six segments, without claws, 
thick in the male, thin in the female, 
about as long as the legs of the pre- 
ceding somite. 
No. of pairs of legs in the 4 95, 
it OU OO: 
Legs slenderer than in the preceding 
species and with simple claws. 
Length 56 mm. 
Habitat. Moulmein. Two specimens 
collected by Mr. E. W. Oates. 
This species may be at once distin- 
guished from the preceding by the 
absence of pleural pores, the shortness 
of the anal legs, the conspicuous ventral 
porous area etc. | 
In these particulars it evidently comes 
close to Himantarium insigne, Meinert 
from Kooloo. But the length of the 
body as compared with the number of 
somites is very different. Thus the female 
of insigne is 105 mm. long and has 77 
pairs of legs, while the female of doriae is 56 mm. long and 
has 99 pairs of legs. 
Himantosoma, gen. nov. 
Cephalic lamina covering entirely, or almost entirely, the 
maxillary feet. 
Antennae parallel sided or incrassate ; not attenuate. 
Prebasal lamina concealed. 
Basal lamina as wide as the head, but exceedingly short, five 
or six times as wide as it is long.
