gitudinal  striae  are  only  developed  quite  on  the  lower  surface  of  the 
lateral  portion.  The  pores  are  considerably  above  the  middle  of  the 
side.  The  anal  somite  is  shorter,  the  superior  angle  being  less  deve- 
loped and  more  obtuse  and  rounded,  more  coarsely  sculptured,  with 
a  transverse  constriction  at  its  base;  the  valves  more  convex,  the 
marginal  constriction  being  shallower;  the  anal  sternite  much  wider 
in  proportion  to  its  length,  being  in  fact  about  twice  as  wide  as 
long,  whereas  in  B.  semicinctus  the  length  is  nearly. equal  to  the  width. 
Number  of  segments  47. 
Length  51  mm.  ;  width  5,5. 
91.  Bhinocricus  eumelanus  sp.  n.  Pl.  XXII,  fig.  26. 
Celebes:  Bira. 
Closely  allied  to  the  preceding. 
Colour  black  or  very  deep  greenish  black  throughout,  legs  with  a 
very  faint  ferruginous  tinge. 
First  tergite  with  its  lateral  angle  widely  rounded  and  marked  with 
a  weak  marginal  sulcus.  The  rest  of  the  somites  entirely  smooth, 
shining,  striate  only  just  above  the  base  of  the  legs  and  on  the  sterna  ; 
the  transverse  sulcus  absent  as  in  brachyproctus.  Pores  above  the  middle 
of  the  side,  the  area  margined.  Anal  somite  small,  tergite  with  its 
angle  not  constricted  at  the  base;  valves  convex  with  margins  com- 
pressed; sternite  wide,  strongly  angular. 
Scobina  small,  crescentic  at  the  anterior  end  of  the  body,  smaller 
and  puncture  like  posteriorly,  found  on  the  somites  between  the  10th 
and  about  the  35th.  Copulatory  feet  with  the  median  process  of  the 
anterior  piece,  and  the  processes  of  the  lateral  pieces  much  more  elon- 
gate than  in  the  preceding  species. 
Number  of  somites  51.  Length  about  55  mm. 
I  add  the  description  of  the  following  new  species  from  Celebes. 
Bhinocricus  hickoni  sp.  n. 
Colour  deep  greenish  black,  the  segments  adorned  with  a  marginal 
yellow  band  which  extends  from  the  legs  up  to  the  pore;  antennae 
and  legs  rather  paler  in  colour  than  the  body. 
Head  smooth,  frontal  sulcus  deep  below,  the  external  labral  punc- 
ture obsolete.
