inward and forward, and terminate in a short piece bent forward. 

 Pseudo-stigmata large, lateral. Pseudo-stigmatic organs with long 

 filiform peduncles and very short fusiform (pointed) heads. Inter- 

 lamellar hairs shortish, setiform. Legs rather short, hind pair not 

 reaching posterior margin. Femora without blades ; claws mono- 

 dactyle. 



Abdomen truncated anteriorly, rounded posteriorly, antero- 

 lateral angles slightly produced, forming small blunt points. There 

 are two sparse longitudinal rows of fine hairs on the notogaster, and 

 a series of similar hairs round the margin. Genital and anal platea 

 small, pentagonal, far apart.

A species readily distinguished by the form of the pseudo- 

 stigmatic organs. 



Colour rather light yellow-brown ; texture smooth but not 

 polished, shape almost fusiform. 



Cephalothorax rather small ; rostrum pointed ; rostral hairs 

 moderate length ; palpi not showing. Lamellas mere ridges, very 

 short, sloping forward and inward but leaving a considerable space 

 between their anterior ends. There is a S'^cond pair of more 

 curved ridges at the base of the rostrum. No trans-lamella. 

 Pseudo-stigmata lateral ; pseudo-stigmatic organs very long, line-of- 

 beauty shaped ; the general direction being backward, upward, 

 and outward. They are slightly thickened in the middle, and 

 have a few distinct widely-separated pectinations upon one side of 

 the middle and some of the anterior portion. Interlamellar hairs 

 much shorter than pseudo-stigmatic organs. Legs moderately 

 long ; fourth pair passing hind margin. Femora without blades. 

 Claws monodactyle. 



Abdomen acorn-shaped, rounded and slightly truncated 

 anteriorly, pointed posteriorly. Two longitudmal rows of fine 

 hairs on notogaster. Genital and anal plates large, almost penta- 

 gonal, near together. 



I have only found two or three specimens, all at the Land's End, 

 Cornwall, in moss on the ground.
