and fifth subovate, almost as long as the third, the rest gradually 
lengthening, gently pear-shaped. Head smooth and tumid, sutures in¬ 
distinct ; pronotum square, smooth ; mesonotum nearly as long as 
the pronotum ; legs light brown, the femora rather darker, tarsi slen¬ 
der, first and second segments long; abdomen smooth, gently dilated 
towards the apex, the posterior portion of the segments light shining 
red; sides of segments 7—8 acute and keeled; last dorsal segment 
ample, smooth, with small lateral keels ; penultimate ventral segment 
with a deep round emargination and pointed lobes ; forceps with 
the branches stout, trigonal, contiguous, attenuate and hooked at 
the apex. 
German New Guinea: Sattelberg, Huon Gulf (Biró, 1898) 1 cf : 
Erima, Astrolabe Bay, 1 larva (Biró, 1896). 
The male which is the type of this species was determined by me 
doubtfully in 1902 as Gonolabis j avana, Borm. But since then I have 
seen the original type of that species, which is quite different. The one 
determined as G. sumatrana is an immature specimen of the same 
species, which I dedicate with much pleasure to my old friend and 
colleague, Dr. G. Horváth. 
It is well characterised by the deep round emargination of the 
penultimate ventral segment; the aniennæ appear to be perfect and have 
only ten segments, which suggests the advisibility of placing it in a 
new genus, but this cannot be done till a longer series is available and 
the genitalia examined. 
5. Anisolabis vicina, Burr. — Abyssinia, 3 5 (Kovács). 
6 . Anisolabis Kristenseni, Burr. - — Abyssinia: Kumi, 1 cf, and 
Bissidimo, 3 cf, all very small (Kovács). 
The smallest has the following dimensions: 
Long, corporis: 12*5 mm. 
Long, forcipis : 2*5 mm. 
7. Anisolabis aethiopica, Burr. — Abyssinia : Kumi, 1 cf ; Bissi¬ 
dimo, 1 cf ; Mollu, 1 cf (Kovács). 
All Ihre preceding species have been quite recently described ; they 
are only known from Abyssinia. 
8. Ctenisolabis nigra, Scudder. — Paraguay : Asuncion, 1 j 
(Yezényi); already recorded from Paraguay and various parts of Brazil. 
9. Nesogaster ruficeps, Erichson. — German New Guinea : Friedrich- 
Wilhelmshafen, 5 (Bíró). 
Known from Tasmania and Australia. 
10. Chaetospania rodens , Burr. — German East Africa: Kili¬ 
mandjaro, cf (Bornemisza) ; Arusha-Ju, j, larvai (Katona).
