The labrum consists of one piece, but near the middle two fine parallel lines are visible. Meinert calls the labrum " bipartite " ; but that is incorrect, as are also his drawings. The free border bears little close-set teeth in the centre, and longer, sharp, curved teeth at the sides (text-fig. 23). The shaft and the trunk of the mandible are distinctly separate. Meinert mentioned 7-8 pectinate lamellae ; I observed only five (Tunis). The lamellae are arranged on the sides. The teeth are short (text-fig. 24). The coxal processes of the syncoxites of the first maxillae (fig. 466) are bounded by a fold, and bear few bristles. The syncoxite has on each side a pointed lobe covered with scales like those on a pine- apple. Telopodite indistinctly 2-jointed, the basal joint with a broad,.
