under side two irregular, lamellar processes, of which the anterior, 

 when viewed from the side, looks like a long spur pointing back- j 

 wards, and being in the opposite direction drawn out into a little 

 tooth. — In X. claveatus (Blackw.) cf, the outer side of the tibial joint 

 of the palpus is drawn out forwards and outwards , and carries there, on 

 its apex, upward, a strong, pointed, C-formed spine or spur directed 

 outward and somewhat forward, and curved downwards; the tibial 

 joint has also, on the under side, outward, at its apex a shorter, 

 coarse process, which is obliquely truncated and, when seen in a 

 certain direction, slightly notched at the extremity.
