This mite differs from that described in The Naturalist for 
August, 1909, page 281. Its general anatomy is very similar, 
however, and the description thereof then given will in most 
respects serve for a description of Icevipes. The legs of the 
JOHNSTONIANA LAEVIPES n.sp. («) ; Palpus (b). 
Length of body, 1*25 mm. to end of snout, 0*40 extra. 
., first leg 2'69, second leg 1*40, third leg 1*60, fourth leg 215. 
JOHNSTONIANA ERR A NS. Legs, first and second (c). 
Length of first leg, including epimera, 215 mm. 
,, second leg, „ „ 1*57 mm 
present species, however, are remarkably different ; they are 
longer and more slender, hairy, but do not possess the re- 
markable mamillary elevations so characteristic of R. errans 
(see Fig. c, page 282, The Naturalist, August, 1909) which are 
so striking when seen under the microscope. I shall not be 
surprised if other species of Johnstoniana are hereafter recorded.
