Mandible of Eusimonia celeripes, Hirst. 



Mandible. — Dorsal horn short, pointed and slightly curved; 

 Flagellum strongly curved, the terminal part abruptly narrowed 

 and sharply pointed. Vertical lamina with the lower corner not 

 rounded but angular. Upper jaw with the fourth, seventh and 

 eighth teeth (from the anterior end) the largest ; the first, third, 

 sixth, ninth and tenth of large size, the remaining teeth being 

 small. Lower jaw furnished with a strong tooth, which is usually 

 preceded by two or three rudimentary teeth. 



Palpi. — Inner side of tibia of palp armed towards the distal 

 end with six spines, the ends of which are blunt and often en- 

 larged ; the proximal spine is the largest. 



Abdomen. — Third abdominal segment provided with a cluster 

 of 6-7 short and stout bristles. Fourth abdominal segment with 

 twelve long and slender bristles. 



Measurements in mm. — Length of body 10*5. 



Locality. — Kaschgar Steppe. Three males collected by Mr. 

 Constantine Aris. 



Remarks. — This species is closely allied to E. turkestana, Krae- 

 pelin, from which it differs in the form of the flagellum, dentition 

 of the mandibles, and in the number of bristles on the ventral sur- 

 face of the fourth abdominal segment.
