The insect represented in Plate V. fig. 7. agrees in all its 

 general characters with the male figured by De Haan. It 

 is, however, from Singapore, and is in the National Collec- 

 tion. Its head is armed with two small spines between the 

 eyes, which appear to be wanting in De Haan's specimen ; 

 the antennae have a minute tubercle on one of the joints 

 near the base of each ; the anterior femora are not of equal 

 length. The remarkable structure of the extremity of the 

 abdomen is not represented by De Haan. The ninth dor- 

 sal segment is attenuated and deeply cleft, the two divi- 

 sions incurved at the tip, with the inner edge armed with 

 numerous minute spines, and furnished at the middle with 

 two elongate curved styles. The three terminal ventral seg- 

 ments do not extend beyond the base of the ninth dorsal 

 segment.

Hab. In India orientali. B.M. 



Long, very slender, cylindrical and glossy, of a dark 

 chestnut-brown colour ; the tarsi rather paler, with the tips 

 of the joints darker, and the four small tubercles on the 

 meso- and metathorax pale buff. The head is unarmed; 

 the antennae about as long as the entire body, and very 

 slender ; mesothorax with two small tubercles near the hind 

 margin, and the metathorax witli two prominent ones on the 

 sides in the middle. The abdomen is long and slender ; the 

 three terminal segments form an oval mass broader than 

 the rest of the abdomen, they are also rather recurved ; the 

 terminal segment is gradually attenuated to the tip, which 

 is slightly notched, the lateral posterior angles being strongly 

 deflexed, so as nearly to come in contact beneath, the edges 

 denticulated within, and emitting the two curved, clavate 

 anal styles, which are not visible from above. The legs are 

 long and slender, all the femora being armed near the tip 

 beneath with a small spine.

Hab. Ceylon. B.M. 



Very slender and filiform, smooth, and nearly cylindrical, 

 luteous brown. Head fulvous, with a transverse brown 

 mark between the eyes ; the antennas about as long as the 

 mesothorax, but shorter than the fore femora, 22-jointed, 

 the joints long and slender. Prothorax smaller than the

 middle. Mesothorax long and simple. Metathorax nearly
