The accompanying figure and description are copied from the 
works above referred to, as I have not had an opportunity of ex¬ 
amining the species, and am not therefore able to speak with pre¬ 
cision as to its more decided characters. 
Fig. 5a represents the head and antennae seen in front; 5 b, the 
head seen sideways; and 5 c, the extremity of the abdomen beneath.

The palpi of this species, upon examination of a specimen in the 
collection of T. Norris, Esq., of Redvales, Lancashire, are found 
to agree with those of the present genus in the relative length of 
the joints, although the maxillary palpi are not so much dilated as 
in many of the species. 
Fig. 4 a represents the head and prothorax seen sideways ; 
4 6, the maxillary, and 4 c, the labial palpi; 4 one of the hind tarsi; 
4c, the abdomen in a specimen in Mr. Norris’s collection.
