Cakpenter — The Apterygota of the Seychelles. 45 



ocelli on each side, the two hind inner ones very small (fig. 64). Fourth 

 abdominal segment foui- times as long as the third. Foot (fig. 65) with the 

 claw strongly curved, with distinct inner basal teeth and a feeble distal 

 tooth ; empodial appendage short and broad, the two supporting lamellae of 

 almost equal length ; tenent hair very long and stout. Spring three-quarters 

 as long as body ; dens rather longer than manubrium (fig. 6o) ; mucro 

 relatively narrow, thrice as long as broad (fig. 66), with three terminal teeth, 

 the median very blunt. 



Length 2 mm. Colour pale yellow, with conspicuous violet markings, 

 including a ring at each end of tlie first antennal segment, a broad ring at the 

 tip of the second, ihe distal three-fourths of the third, and the whole of the 

 fourth ; broad transverse bands on the mesothorax and the second and third 

 abdominal segments ; broad paired, lateral bands on the fourth abdominal 

 segment, and the whole of the last two segments (fig. 63^. 



Localities. — Mahe: Foret Noire, 1000 ft. (six specimens, October, 1908; ; 

 Cascade, 1000 ft. (six specimens, 1908). 



This species is nearly related to C. indicus, Imms. ('12, pp. 104-5 

 figs. 58, 59), from Calcutta, but it may be readily distinguished from that, not 

 only by the coloration, but by the much more prominent teeth at the end of 

 the mucro. In 0. celehensis Schiiffer ('98, pp. 407-8) the mucro is narrow, as in 

 0. Scotti, but its teeth are blunt and rounded. As might be expected from 

 the excessive length of the feelers in these insects, very few specimens are 

 perfect. Interesting cases of regeneration, with a reduced number of antennal 

 segments, may often be observed— for example, the two-segmented right 

 feeler shown in fig. 63. 



Cremastocephalus pallidus sp. nov. 

 (Plates XVII, figs. 67-70, and XVIII, figs. 78-81.) 



Feelers (imperfect in all specimens) longer than the whole body, first 

 segment may be twice as long as head (fig. 67j. Eight ocelli on each side, 

 the two hind inner ones much smaller than the others (fig. 68). Fourth 

 abdominal segment six times as long as third. Foot (fig 69) with claw 

 slightly curved, inner basal teeth distinct, distal teeth obsolete; empodial 

 appendage with outer supporting lamella longer than inner. Sjjring three- 

 quarteis as long as body ; dens rather longer than manubrium ; mucro 

 (fig. 70) hardly twice as long as broad, with three terminal teeth, the median 

 one truncated. 



Length 2*5 mm. Colour pale yellow, except for violet streaks on the 

 head and along the edges of tlie body-segments, and violet patches on the 

 thigh-tips and shins (fig. 67).
