,11- Old Calabar. 



No. II. 



A strong, stout, largish species, of an olivaceous colour and 

 smooth, shining texture; length about 4 inches; very similar to 

 some of the Australian species, such as S. sulcidens, — a curious 

 resemblance which has been observed in other species of this 

 family from these far-separated lands. Denticulations of labium 

 small. Antennae 17-jointed. Body of 22 segments, including the 

 cephalic segments. The scutes at the neck are short and narrow; 

 those that are farther back gradually become broader. The third 

 segment (that immediately behind the cephalic), the fifth and the 

 seventh, are shorter than those between them. The teeth on the 

 femoral joint of the terminal legs are on the inner side, one rather 

 large one at the posterior angle ; then three small ones nearer the 

 body, and a lower row of three other small ones ; on the outer 

 side three in a lower row.
