 Genus PRONOE, Gutrin. 



Anterior antennae stout at base, the last basal joint oval, with a very 

 small lateral appendage. Posterior antennae folded up and concealed 

 under the head, being 3-4-plicate. Pigments of the eyes two in 

 number and very large, nearly filling the head, in our species. Coxae 

 of the fifth and sixth pairs of legs broad (sixth broadest) and bearing 

 following joints by the margin and not by the under surface ; poste- 

 rior pair having but one or two~ rudimentary joints besides the coxa, 

 which is quite narrow. Abdomen not closing against the venter; the 

 last segment small triangular, and the posterior caudal stylets project-
