Beskrivelse. Det undersogte Exemplar synes efter 
Folernes Bvgning at v;ere en Hun. Legemet riser (se PI. 
XX, Fig. 21) idethele den for Hyperiiderne characteristiske 
Habitus, idet Forkroppen er stserkt opsvulmet, med bred 
B,yg og smaa Epimerer, Bagkroppen mere sammentrykt, med 
Sidepladerne paa de 3 forreste Segmenter vel udviklede og 
bagtil tydeligt vinklede. Ingen at Segmenterne gaar ud i 
dorsale Fortsatser. 
Hovedet er som hos andre Hyperiider srerdeles stort, 
nsesten kugleformigt og oventil stserkt hvmlvet, med et meget 
lidet knudeformigt Fremspring over Roden af lste Par Fo- 
lere. Dets nedre Kan ter er naesten lige og horizontale 
samt overgaar i de forreste med en jevn Runding. 
De 4 forreste Par Epimerer er a lie af ens Storrelse 
og Udseende, simpelt tilrundede eller skjselformige og om- 
trent halvt saa hoio som selve Kroppen; de 3 derpaa fol- 
gende Par aftager hurtigt i Storrelse. 
Det ydre Parti af Bagkroppen er temmelig forlamget, 
noget nedtrykt og delt i 3 tydeligt afsatte Segmenter. 
0inene mangier vistnok ganske ethvert Spor af lvs- 
brydende Elementer eller tydeligt udviklet Pigment, men 
viser dog i sit Ankeg en fuldkommen lignende Anordning 
som hos de pvrige Hyperiider, idet dor paa liver Side fra 
et opakt Legome (det udvidode Synsganglion) udstraaler 
talrige opad divergerende Fibrer, der synes at vaere Rudi- 
menter af de enkolte Synselem enter. 
Begge Par Folore er vel udviklede og udspringer fra 
den nedre Side af Hovedet, det ene Par bag det andet. 
lste Par er nsesten af Legemets halve Lsengde og temmelig 
stserkt bygget. Skaftet er meget kort og tykt, med det 
lste Led storre end de 2 pvrige tilsammen. Svoben af- 
smalnes successivt mod Enden og bestaar af et meget stort, 
noget opsvulmet lste Led, hvorpaa folger en af circa 12 
korte Leal bestaaende Endesmert. Langs ad Svobens indre 
Side og navnlig dennes lste Led er laestede talrige lange 
og gjennemsigtige Sandseborster. Bisvoben er vel udviklet 
much more feeble, with penultimate joint of peduncle slender 
and produced, last very small. Second pair of legs longer 
than 1st; hand on both simple and quite, slender, scarcely, 
if at all. greater in length than preceding joint. Third joint 
on 3rd and 4th pairs of legs more than twice as long as 
the 2 succeeding ones taken together, oar-shaped, broadest 
in the middle; terminal claw well developed, falciform. Last 
pair of legs greatly produced, indistinctly articulate. Last 
pair of caudal stylets with branches equalling length of 
peduncle. Body translucent, without distinct pigmentation.

Description. — The specimen examined would ap- 
pear, judging from the structure of the antenna?, to be a 
female. The body exhibits (see PI. XX, fig. 21) on the 
whole the habitus characteristic of Hvperidians, the an- 
terior division being greatly swollen, with back broad and 
small epimera, the posterior occurring more compressed, 
with the lateral plates on the 3 foremost segments well 
developed, and hindwards distinctly angular in form. None 
of the segments are produced as dorsal prolations. 
The head is exceedingly large, as in other Hyperid- 
ians, almost globular, and prominently arched above, with 
a very small tuberculiform projection over the base of the 
1st pair of antenna?. Its lower margins are well-nigh 
straight and horizontal, on the foremost ■ gradually chang- 
ing to an even curve. 
The 4 anterior pairs of epimera are all uniform i» 
size and appearance, simple rounded or squamiform, and 
nearabout half the height of the body; the 3 succeeding 
pairs diminish rapidly in size. 
The outer part of the abdominal division of the body 
is considerably produced, somewhat compressed, and divided 
into 3 well-defined segments. 
The eyes are, it is true, without the slightest trace . 
of refractive elements or any distinctly developed pigment, 
but exhibit in their structural disposition a perfectly sim- 
ilar arrangement to that in other Hyperidians, since, on 
either side, from an opaque body (the expanded visual 
gangilon) numerous upward-diverging fibres are seen to 
radiate, apparently rudiments of the several visual ele- 
ments. 
. Both pairs of antenna? are well developed, and orig- 
inate on the lower surface of the head, the one pair pos- 
terior to the other. The 1st pair attain well-nigh half the 
length of the body, and have a somewhat powerful structure. 
The peduncle is very short and thick, with the 1st joint 
larger than the other 2 taken together. The flagellum di- 
minishes successively toward the end, and consists of a 
very large, somewhat tumid 1st articulation, to which 
succeed about 12 short joints, forming a terminal lash. 
Along the inner side of the flagellum, and more particularly 
on its 1st joint, occur numerous long and translucent sen- 
sory bristles. The secondary flagellum is well developed,
