2. Entomobeya intermedia, n. sp. 



Antennse very long and slender as compared with the other 

 species of this genus ; yellow at the base and gradually shading 

 oif to violet. Some of the darker specimens have a black ring at 

 the apex of the first segment. Head witb an anterior black 

 band extending across the base of the antennae, and continued 

 along the lateral margins; an anclior-shaped patch, in tlie centre. 

 Second tboracic segment about a third longer than tlie third seg- 

 ment. First abdominal segment about half tbe lengtb of the 

 second, with only a faint line on the posterior margin and two 

 or three light lateral patches ; second abdominal with dark lateral 

 markings, and four small patches in the centre of the dorsal 

 aspect ; third abdominal segment with dark lateral markings, 

 and a triangular patch pointing downwards from the centre 

 of the anterior margin ; fourth abdominal segment rather longer 

 than the three abdominal and the third thoracic segments taken 

 together, only slightly tapering to the base ; there is a central 

 large triangular patch uniting the two very bold lateral longitu- 

 dinal bands ; there is also a dark spot in the centre of the pos- 

 terior margin ; fifth and sixth abdominal segments small, with a 

 dark lateral band. General body-colour yellow, with brown to 

 almost black markings. Body slightly widening to the third 

 abdominal segment, and rather wider at the posterior end of the 

 fourth than at the mesothorax. Spring reaching beyond the 

 ventral tube ; dentes and manubrium siibequal. Upper claw with 

 a distinct tooth about the centre of the inner margin, and a 

 fainter one .halfway between that and the tip. Lower claw 

 lanceolate, half the length of the other. Length ^-pjj inch, 

 width 3^— sV inch. Length of antennae i^-yV incli' 



The young of this species is interesting as showing the deve- 

 lopment of the markings of the adult. The terminal segment of 

 the antennae is much longer than any of the others ; but this is 

 usually the case with young specimens. The markings are not 

 yet complete ; there is no triangular patch on the central pos- 

 terior margin of the third abdominal segment, but the central 

 spot on the base of the fourth and two lateral ones on the fifth
