roughly pubescent. Ventral surface smootla. Penis straight, cylin- 

 drical, distally much enlarged and abruptly truncated, its end fur-

Eemaeks. The specimens which I have agree in most 

 respects well with Mr. Say's description, but are all of a 

 uniform ferruginous color. Of the two pairs of spines 

 on the dorsum, the posterior are the larger. They were 

 collected by Dr. Lincecum, in Texas". It is possible that 

 a comparison with Florida specimens might show them to 

 be distinct. As Mr. Say's description may not be acces- 

 sible to some entomologists, and the identification is 

 somewhat doubtful, I append the original description of 

 G. ornatum. 



" Ocular tubercle hardly elevated, unarmed; hind feet remote ; two 

 erect spines behind. Body ovate, reddish ferruginous, destitute of 

 granules ; edge slightly contracted over the insertion of the fourth and 

 fifth pairs of feet ; two small acute tubercles on the middle of the disk, 

 and two large, prominent, erect, acute spines on the hind margin ; no 

 impressed line before the middle ; an anterior arcuated yellow trans- 

 verse line connected to a posterior undulated one by a yellow line, 

 which is crossed near the middle by two obsolete yellow bands. Ocular 

 tubercle slightly raised, unarmed; distance between the eyes much 

 greater than their diameters, orbits black. Clypeus abruptly some- 

 what acute in the middle of the tip. Mandibles rather small, the 

 fingers subequal, and crossing each other at the tip. .Palpi robust, 

 and when at rest concealing the mandibles. Penultimate articulation 

 dilated on the exterior side, and elongated and depressed. Terminal 

 joint half as long as the preceding, cylindrical. Terminal nail elonga- 

 ted, movable, capable of being inflected. Feet short, not three times 

 as long as the body, three anterior pairs before the middle, posterior 

 ones behind the middle, and remote from the others ; fourth and fifth 

 pairs with double nails. Abdomen, segments with a series of equidis- 

 tant, minute tubercles. 



"Length one-fifth of an inch. 



"This remarkably distinct species, we first discovered on Cumber- 

 land Island, Georgia, and subsequently many specimens occurred in 

 East Floi-ida, where it appears to be common. It is not an inhabitant 

 of the Northern States."
