is only half as broad as the internal ridge. Lastly, two parallel, 

 slightly oblique, elevated lines are seen near the third and the 

 fourth antero-lateral teeth, the posterior of which is twice as broad 

 as the anterior. Although I have described the upper surface as 

 being smooth, I may, however, remark that it is minutely granular 

 near the postero-lateral margins, which are but little longer than 

 the antero-lateral. The distance between the third antero-lateral 

 teeth is three times as great as the distance between the internal 

 orbital angles. The front is somewhat declivous, and consists of 

 two slightly oblique lobes, which are separated from one another 

 by a small triangular incision ; these lobes are rather prominent 

 in the middle, and their minutely granular anterior margin is 

 broadly emarginate towards the external angle, so as to consti- 

 tute a small tooth at the external angle of each lobe. Each 

 frontal lobe is marked above with a slightly arcuate, transverse, 

 granular line, and is covered .with some granules between this 

 line and the anterior margin. The frontal lobes, which therefore 

 somewhat resemble those of some species of Lejptodius, are sepa- 

 rated by a small notch from the little prominent, internal orbital 

 angles. The orbits are transverse, being a little broader than 

 long. The granular upper margin of the orbits is marked with 

 two fissures on the external half ; the granulated or minutely 

 denticulated under margin presents a strong, rather obtuse, 

 tooth at the internal angle, which is a little more prominent 

 than the internal angle of the upper margin, projecting nearly 

 as much forward as the small external teeth of th.e frontal 

 lobes. The infraorbital margin is marked with a small trian- 

 gular hiatus close to the little prominent external angle of the 

 orbits. 



The antero-lateral margins are armed with four prominent teeth, 

 including the external orbital angle. The first tooth is rather 

 broad, and its external margin is slightly emarginate ; the second 

 tooth much resembles the first, but it is a little narrower and 

 more triangular ; the third tooth is the most prominent of all, 

 being triangular, rather acute, and directed obliquely forward ; 

 the fourth tooth resembles the third, but is much smaller 

 and much less prominent. The last two teeth are somewhat 

 carinate and granular above, and the external margins of all the 

 antero-lateral teeth are granular. 



The inflected sides of the cephalothorax are somewhat granular 

 and hairy, but the pterygostomian regions do not present a
