Male. 



Cephalotliorax. — Large distinct ocular spots. The cephalothorax, which is somewhat 

 longer than wide, has the almost straight anterior transverse groove fairly prominent in 

 contradistinction to the posterior less prominent one, which is slightly curved forwards 

 in the middle. The integument in front of the median groove is minutely, but 

 distinctly granular ; behind it is almost smooth or rather indistinctly 

 granular (specimen from Tobasis Kapa) ; the hairs are rather short. 

 In front of the anterior groove a longitudinal depression is found, 

 passing into a deep cavity situated almost in the middle of the 

 head {ef. Ellingsen, 18. p. 4). 



Abdomen. — The moderately long and depressed abdomen has all 

 the tergites, with the exception of the first and the eleventh, 

 longitudinally divided. The sclerites are indistinctly shagreened, 

 and each tergite has along the hindmost margin about 30 rather 

 short hairs in addition to one or two lateral and a single median 

 hair m front of the row ; " tactile " hairs are missing in the 

 specimens examined. 



Antennce. — The galea, which is very powerful and almost twice 

 as long as the terminal hair, is bifurcate, each branch again being 

 strongly divided. 



Paljjs (PI. XXXI. fig. 33 a; text-fig. 81). — The palps are almost 

 smooth or minutely granular, most distinctly on the inner surface of 

 the femur and tibia ; the fingers are not smooth but fairly distinctly 

 granular. The hairs are long or moderately so ; a number of 

 long, slender, and completely simple ones are found on the dorsal 

 tubercle of the tibia in addition to the usual long and slender ones 

 of the posterior surfaces {cf. 18. p. 4). The trochanter, which is 

 1'5 as long as wide, is anteriorly very slightly convex and posteriorly 

 produced into a prominent and somewhat rounded tubercle ; dorsally 

 it is prolonged into a deep, pointed protuberance (fig. 33 a) somewhat similar to that 

 6f the preceding species, but less suddenly attenuated terminally, less distinctly 

 obtuse-angled proximally, and more moderately convex towards the end;, it is much
