not defined by a distinct margined area, the first below the level of 

 the rest. The scobina beginning on about the 8 th or 9 th and extending 

 to about the 24 th , small rounded and pore-like on all the segments. 

 The anal somite with the tergite mesially angled above, covering the 

 summit of the valves but not projecting beyond them, not constricted, 

 the valves lightly convex, the margins lightly constricted but not 

 sulcate; the sternite triangular. Legs with single hair on the lower 

 surface of each segment. Sterna transversely striate. 



d\ More slender than 9 ; with distal segment of leg padded. Copu- 

 latory feet very much resembling those of Sp. weberi, but with the 

 median process shorter, much more slender and carinate throughout 

 its length. 



Number of somites 52 or 53. 



Length about 68 mm. 



89. Rhinocricus xanthozonus sp. n. PL XXII, fig. 24. 



Flores: Maumerie. 



Very closely allied to R. semicinctus. 



Colour of head, antennae and body the same but paler olivaceous, 

 with a yellow spot above the base of the legs; legs ochraceous. The 

 scobina small and present on the somites between about the 8 th and 

 the 17 th . Copulatory feet intermediate in character between the two 

 preceding species, the median process thicker than in R. semicinctus 

 not carinate, and slenderer than in R. weberi. 



Number of somites 50. Length up to 60 mm. 



90. Rhinocricus brachyproctus sp. n. PI. XXII, fig. 25. 



Island of Saleyer. 



Allied to the preceding, but differing in the following character. 



Colour a slate or greyish olivaceous , with the posterior half of the 

 tergites ringed with deeper colour ; lower half of head fading into 

 testaceous; antennas and legs pale ochraceous. 



The scobina is large, each mark being deep and crescentic, it 

 extends from about the 5 th somite to about the 44 th i. e. nearly the 

 whole length of the body , but becomes small and puncture-like towards 

 the hinder end of the body. The somites are minutely striolate or 

 punctulate, but there is no trace of a transverse sulcus and the Ion-
