Rallicola (AjAericola) mrne-zenhindiae, n. sp. 
The o of this species (Fig. 3) is, as already pointed out, more slender 
than the last, and has the clypeal front broadly rounded instead of 
truncate. The general coloration is considerably lighter. IJut the chief 
differences, or rather, those best adapted for distinguishing the species, 
are found in the genitalia. I figure those of the present species (Fig. 4). 
Unfortunately the ^ of A. gadoiri taken for dissection of these parts 
proved to have broken parameres, and as the males among my material 
were few, I did not care to sacrifice another. I have not, therefore. 
Fig. 3. 
figured the genitalia of A. gadoiri-, but with the aid of the dissection, 
which has lost only the distal halves of the parameres, and of these 
halv'es, which happen to be e.\truded in the type mounted specimen, 
I am able to make safe comparisons. The genital apparatus consists 
of a basal plate, with parameres articulated di.stally, between which 
lies an undivided mesosome. At the base of each paramere, on the 
inner side, a short weakly-coloured lobe projects inwards under the 
mesosome. This lobe is certainly attached to the paramere, but has 
no appeaiance of being a normal process upon it, as it is so delicate in
