culated, with two blunt teeth on either side, an elongated — 
rounded at either end — area in the centre. Abdomen sub- 
sessile, shining, impunctate, the basal half glabrous, the apical 
sparsely covered with white hairs. Legs covered with short 
white hair ; the white on the anterior femora large, on the 
posterior four small ; the anterior four tibiae are white at 
the extreme base and apex ; the base of the hind tibiae is 
black, but there is a white spot not far from it, and the 
apex is broadly white ; on the underside of the hind fe- 
mora are ten teeth ; the apical not very large and closely set, 
the others stout, large, and widely separated ; the second 
from the apex is small. The humerus is pale testaceous, the 
ulna and radius fuscous-black. 
Glialcis Gallipus, Kirby (Journ. Linn. Soc-, XVII, p. 
^75) comes very near the above described species, but it 
must, I think, be distinct ; for the words, “femora armed 
below with a series of small teeth,” can scarcely apply to 
the large and stout teeth of G. Mikado ; Gallipus, more- 
over, has the antennae entirely black, and the antennal 
groove and the underside of the abdomen are reddish. G. 
Mikado also is fully a line larger. As with most of the 
species the white on the tibiae and tarsi runs into fawn.

Long, fere 6 mm. 
Antennae 11 -joined, a little longer than the head and 
thorax united, covered with a slight microscopical pile; 
originating from distinct tubercles, the scape more than 
double the length of the flagellum ; a little dilated at the 
apex; first joint of flagellum double the length of the 
second, which is the shortest, apical joint conical, double the 
length of the tenth. Head covered with silvery white hair ;
