ved. The first tergite overlapping the head , not sulcate ; the rest , 

 except the anterior, furnished with the four ordinary sulci and in ad- 

 dition (at least in the hinder, half of the body) with a longitudinal 

 furrow on each side of the middle line. Sternites; the first four 

 marked with a single longitudinal sulcus; the rest, except the last, 

 with a transverse sulcus in addition to the longitudinal one. 



Anal somite; tergite with raised and thickened lateral margins , angu- 

 late posterior margin ; sternite broad, with very convex posterior angles. 



Pleurae normal, their hinder third smooth, without pores; anterior 

 half somewhat depressed and porous ; pores both large and small , 

 apparently under 20 in number. (Legs absent.) 



Length 12 mm. 



Except for the difference in colouring, this species is scarcely di- 

 stinguishable from Cr. hortensis (Leach) ; it appears however to be less 

 hairy and to have a differently shaped maxillary coxal plate, the an- 

 terior margin being apparently straighter, the appendages more slender , 

 and the claw longer and more curved.

 Flores: Maumerie. Two mutilated specimens. 



Colour testaceous, head and maxillary feet ochraceous. The whole 

 body more or less hirsute. 



Head plate long, rather longer than wide ; sub-quadrate, approxima- 

 tely of the same width throughout, posteriorly covered by the ante- 

 rior part of the first tergite, the covered part marked behind with 

 two very short sulci. Antennae short, thick, composed of 11 or 15 

 segments (? mutilated). 



Maxillary coxœ about as wide as long with the anterior border 

 furnished with two more or less rounded unarmed prosternai plates; 

 maxillary feet rather short, stout, the terminal claw exceedingly short 

 and slender the two claws so short as to be wholly incapable of meet- 

 ing in the middle line. 



Basal plate invisible. First tergite simple, marked neither with 

 transverse nor with longitudinal sulci ; the tergites immarginate, from 

 the third sulcate, marked with the four sulci characteristic of the
