 at the anterior extremity there are two small horn-like processes directed 

 forwards and upwards. 



The falces have a reddish-chocolate hue, shading off to an orange-red 

 tint at their rounded extremities, strongly rugulose, moderately convex, and 

 inclined towards the lip, curving outwardly (bandy) in the centre, armed 

 with strong teeth. 



The maxilla, are nearly as broad as long, somewhat rounded, brown in

 furnished with bright fulvous hair ; two faint lines converge from the 

 lateral eyes to the thoracic junction, and the lateral margins are fringed 

 with hairs of a similar hue. The clypeus is about equal to the diameter of 

 a fore-lateral eye. The hind-lateral eyes are nearer to the anterior laterals 

 than they are to each other. 



Eelative length of legs, 1, 4, 2, 3 ; in the first pair, which are the
