Colour of specimen smoky, but not black in any part. Joint of ante- 

 rior antennae preceding geniculating articulation (fig. 4 c) as long as

 following this, six joints distinct, short, the first and last of the six 

 longest. 



Candace ethiopica. 



Maris: — C. ornatae antennis anticis et cephalothorace affinis. Cepha- 

 loihorax k-articulatus. Antennae anticce e basi arcuatce, articulo 

 antennce dextrce articulationem geniculantem precedente omnino subtil- 

 issimd pectinate. Antennarum posticarum ramus minor parvus. Pes 

 posticus dexter subclavatus, obtusus, seta elongatd, appendice laterali 

 setaced, lo?igd, corned, flexd. 



Male: — Near the G. ornata in the anterior antennas and cephalo- 

 thorax. Cephalothorax four-jointed. Anterior antennae about as 

 long as the body, twenty-three-jointed, arcuate from the base, then 

 straight, the right twenty-one-jointed, as in the pacliydactyla, six- 

 teenth joint (or that preceding the geniculating articulation) 

 throughout very finely pectinate. Branches of the posterior antennae 

 very unequal. Eight foot of posterior pair rather stout subclavate, 

 the last joint elongate, obtuse at apex, seta long, lateral appendage 

 long and slender, setiform, a little sinuous, not acuminate.

Length, one-twelfth of an inch. Colour, mostly black; abdomen 

 colourless; natatory legs and anterior antennae, black, excepting the 

 base ; extremity of right posterior angle of cephalothorax, black. The 

 posterior thoracic feet and anterior and posterior antennae afford deci-

 preceding in most other characters. The abdomen is six-jointed, the
