The measurements of three pairs of paratypes, bearing the same data 
as the tvpe, and two large immature females, taken January 24 to February 4, 
follow those of the allotype. Length of body $ 10-8, $ 10 to 11*3 ; length 
of pronotal disk $ 1-63, ? 1-7 to 1-65 ; width of pronotum 1-42, $ 1-49

CHELISOCHES Scudder. 
Burr’s Kleiduchus, described in 1911, with monotypic genotype Forficesila 
australicus Le Guillou, differs only from Chelisoches Scudder 1876, with genotype 
Forficula mono Fabricius, in having the tarsi more dilated. This feature is 
variable in the species of Chelisoches and insufficient to warrant the recognition 
of a genus. We therefore place Kleiduchus as a synonym of Chelisoches. 
Mjoberg questioned the validity of Kleiduchus in 1924. 
Chelisoches australicus (Le Guillou). 
Murray Island, Torres Straits, 1907, (Hedley and McCulloch), 1 
Chelisoches ater (Bormans). 
Described and figured as Psalidophora australica by Dubrony in 1897 
from Somerset, Australia, this species was named ater by Bormans in 1900
