Long, moderately slender, subcylindrical, smooth, brown, 

 opake ; the anterior part of the body pale buffish-brovra ; 

 the legs pale whitish -brown, clouded with reddish-brown. 

 The head is large and very convex, without horns or spines ; 

 (the antennae are mutilated, in the specimen in the Bri- 

 tish Museum, beyond the fourth or fifth joint ; the basal 

 joint is however very small ;) the mesothorax is very long, 

 smooth, nearly cylindrical, rather dilated behind ; the meta- 

 thorax is similar, but much shorter. The abdominal seg- 

 ments are simple, subcylindric, the middle one rather the 

 widest ; the three terminal segments short ; the ninth 

 slightly produced in the middle of the hind margin, the 

 sides exposing the short anal styles. The operculum is 

 long, elbowed in the middle, extending considerably beyond 

 the extremity of the ninth dorsal segment ; its extremity 

 broad and roundly truncated. The legs are long (espe- 

 cially the fore pair) and strong, strongly serrated along the 

 angles (the fore legs being less so than the four hind ones) ; 

 the fore tarsi with the basal joint long and compressed ; 

 the four hind femora with a strong spine on the under side 

 near the tips ; the tibiae of all the legs slightly dilated at 

 the tips, and the basal joint of the tarsi moderately elon- 

 gated.

Although represented in the work above referred to as 

 two distinct species, I feel now quite satisfied that these 

 two insects are the opposite sexes of one and the same 

 species.
