tergites, They are specially pronounced in a specimen, 20 mm. in length, 

 in the O. U. M., from Sarawak (Wallace). The burrowing habit of this 

 species probably causes the spines to be worn away in older specimens. 

 The brush on the anterior tibiae of the $ seems to have escaped the 

 notice of former observers. It is not found in the cT, or only represented 

 by a few scattered fluff-like hairs. Mr. HAMM has suggested to me that 

 the brush may be of use to the 2 for cleaning itself, and this seems a 

 likely explanation. The insect is of a burrowing habit, but the work of 

 burrowing is probably entirely done by the $ which, being apterous and 

 having a stout body and a thick chitinous skin, appears much better adapted to 

 it than the long-winged, slender-legged and altogether frail-looking cT. A brush 

 would thus not be required by the d", but would be very necessary to the Ç.
