Material. Numerous fine specimens from Bemeika and several 
specimens from three localities in Italy. 
Head (fig. 1a). The distance between the ,,eyes" is very little 
longer than the length of an eye. — The hairs in the three anterior 
rows and the submedian pair in the posterior row are all strongly cla- 
vate and conspicuously pubescent; the hairs of the second row are 
rather long, a little shorter than those in the third row; the sub- 
median hairs in the fourth row are generally considerably longer 
and never shorter than the outer pair in the second row. The 
intermediate hairs in the fourth row are cylindrical, exceedingly 
long, as long as or even a little longer than the eyes, and more 
than one third longer thån the sublateral pair. 
Antennæ (fig. 1a). The two front hairs on the fourth joint are thin 
and very long, the longest being almost as long as the peduncle 
and somewhat longer than the other. The upper branch is as long 
as the peduncle, very slender, about seven times longer than broad; 
its flagellum is about twice as long as the branch. The lower 
branch is about one sixth shorter than the upper, three and a half 
times longer than broad, with the oblique distal margin a little 
concave; the anterior flagellum is twice as long as the branch, 
and the posterior flagellum about three fifths of the anterior; all 
three flagella are rather slender and slightly thickened near the 
distal end. The stalk of the globulus is more or less regularly in- 
verted conical (fig. 1b and 1c), more than half as long again or 
twice as long as the transverse diameter of the globulus. 
Trunk (fig. 1d). Moderately robust. — The fifth pair of tac- 
tile setæ very long, about two and a half times longer than the 
breadth of the segment, ihoderately robust, delicately and shortly 
pubescent almost to the base. The fourth pair of tactile setæ 
scarcely one third shorter than, the fifth and somewhat thinner; the 
third pair about one fourth shorter than the fourth and equal in 
thickness, its basal half is cylindrical, the distal half tapering,
