Dorsal, ventral and lateral view. 
The colour is (in alcohol) pale-yellow. 
The appendages on the 5th pair of incubatory plates I ap- 
prehend as showing that this specimen is the fully grown female 
of H. Bichardi , and this I base on the folio wing. (For the sake 
of convenience I call Koehler s specimen stage 1, the two otheis 
(from the „Tjalfe“ St. 363 and 346) stage 2 and 3). 
1. The cephalon projects in stage 3 still more than in stage 
2 , stage 1 has in front of the cephalon a broad projecting part, 
formed partly by the first pair of coxal plates. In stage 2 the 
cephalon only projects a little beyond the projecting part. In stage
