OXYDESMID^. 
45. Orodesmus ellipticus, sp. n. Size and general shape of Phobodes7nus 
cristatus, but markedly differing in that the terminal segments are 
gradually narrower, giving a long-elliptic outline. First segment with 
two median tubercles of the last row enlarged and coalesced ; segments 
2-4 with the middle four tubercles of the last row and two of the second 
row completely coalesced into a large prominence ; other tubercles 
small, the surface of the segments not very densely beset with fine 
granules, and not rugulose as in other species ; lateral margins slightly 
and irreglarly sinuate or faintly dentate ; submarginal ridge not very 
strong, close to the edge ; color dark red, the processes of the anterior 
segments, the median third of the posterior part of the posterior 
subsegments, and the carinse, yellowish ; submarginal ridge, antennae, 
legs, and ventral .surface, red; Ngatana, vicinity of Kilmanjaro; British 
Museum. 
46. Orodesmus camelus, sp. 71 . Apparently closely related to O. bicolor, but 
differing in the somewhat larger size, greater dorsal convexity, and 
in the fact that while the processes of the anterior segments are some- 
what more developed than those of bicolor, the two middle tubercles 
are not nearly as large proportionally ; colors slightly darker than in 
bicolor ; length about 43 mm. ; width 8 mm. ; Tanga, Usambara; Berlin 
Museum.
