through spirit of wine, and the sternum is suffused with 

 blackish. 



The form of the cephalo-thorax is of the ordinary type; 

 lookod at in profile the caput and thorax are on the same level, 

 but between them is a strongish incurved dip or depression. 

 The fore part of the ocular area is vory slightly prominent, and 

 the height of the clypeus considerably exceeds half that of the 

 facial space. The eyes are moderate and nearly uniform in size, 

 seated on black spots, and pretty closely grouped together. 

 The interval between those of the hind-central pair is nearly 

 about a diameter, and is very slightly, if at all, greater than 

 that which separates each from the lateral eye of the same row 

 on its side ; those of each lateral pair are placed obliquely on a 

 strongish tubercle ; the fore-centrals are rather the smallest, 

 contiguous to each other, and no more than half a diameter's 

 distance from the fore-laterals. The length of the line formed 

 by the hind-central pair is as nearly as possible equal to that 

 formed by each of them and the fore-central eye opposite to it. 



The legs are rather short, and moderately slender (4.1.2.3.); 

 those of the fourth pair being distinctly longer than those of the 

 first ; the excess being equal to the length of the tarsus of 

 the first pair. They are furnished with hairs, and a few erect 

 bristles along the upper side of the genual and meta-tarsal 

 joints. 



The palpi are short, the cubital joint has two or three, not very 

 strong, tapering bristles directed forwards from near the middle 

 of its anterior side, the strongest bristle being not much, if at 

 all, longer than the joint itself ; the radial joint is rather shorter 

 and less strong than the cubital, its fore-extremity is a little pro- 

 duced, with a somewhat pointed dark reddish-brown termination 

 which is directed obliquely outwards; the digital joint is of 

 tolerable size, it is rather raised in a blunt-angular form on its 

 outer side, and its hinder extremity is produced into a sharpish 

 point which comes almost in contact with tho iunor side of the 

 radial joint. Tho palpal organs are prominent and complex •
