at the sides and below, obsolete or nearly so, above. The scobina 

 extending from the 9 th to about the 36 th but very small posteriorly. 

 The pores small , without defined surrounding area , and far above the 

 middle of the side, just in front of the transverse sulcus, the first 

 in a line with the rest. The anal somite very finely and closely reti- 

 culated; the tergite produced into a straight, pointed angular tail 

 which projects considerably beyond the margins of the valves; 

 valves lightly convex, with their margins slightly compressed; sternite 

 triangular. Legs very smooth, with a single hair on the lower edge of 

 each segment. Sterna transversely striate. 



cf. With the legs not padded. Copulatory foot with the anterior 

 median lamina wide above, the middle of its inferior border produced 

 into a long, pointed, tongue-like process which projects below the 

 level of the lateral portions. The protrusible portion very slender and 

 thread like below, forked at the extremity like a snakes tongue. 



Number of somites 48 — 50. 



Length of largest specimen 95 mm.; width 12.5. 



88. Bhinocricus semicinctus sp. n. PI. XXII, fig. 23. 

 Flores: Bari. 



Colour olivaceo-piceous ; anterior and posterior borders of the first 

 tergite and the posterior borders of the rest down to the pore widely, 

 below it narrowly flavous except the anal ferruginous, legs and 

 antennae nearly black. 



Read convex with a feeble longitudinal sulcus throughout, very 

 slightly transversely striolate, with four labral punctures. Eyes com- 

 posed of about 44 ocelli arranged in 7 transverse rows, irregularly 

 rounded, separated by a space equal to about twice a diameter. 



Antennœ short, about equal to the distance between the eyes, 

 with the two distal segments hairy, the rest naked. 



The first tergite with a weak anterior lateral marginal sulcus and 

 not extending so low as the second, with rounded angle. The second, 

 like the rest, inferiorly sulcate, with its inferior extension very little 

 produced in front. The rest of the tergites longitudinally sulcate below, 

 transversely striate above in front , smooth above behind ; the transverse 

 sulcus nearly obsolete above; a weak longitudinal stria running just 

 above the pore. The pores just in front of the sulcus, which is 

 sinuate for there reception , only a little above the middle of the side ,
