This is formed by the forward growth of an inferior basal spine, which ultimately meets and appa- rently unites with the apex of the claw. The spiracular sclerites are smaller than the prescutellar, and are in contact with the tergites. 30. Himantarium doriae, sp. n. Body long and slender, not markedly attenuate either ante- riorly or posteriorly. Colour ochraceous above, testaceous beneath. Head plate (fig.) wider behind than in front, covering the maxil- lary feet. Antennae very thick at the base and in contact, attenuate, the apical segment ovate and as long as the two that precede it. Prebasal plate not visible ; basal plate short, as wide as the head, with parallel sides. Maxillary sternite (fig.) with chitinous lines, a little wider than long, the jaws weak, falling far short of the anterior margin of the head plate ; the claw, slender and curved. Tergites not bisulcate. Sternites not sulcate, but marked in the hinder half by a conspicuous, small, sub-crescentic, porous area. Anal somite (fig.); tergite wide, narrowed behind, almost covering the pleurae ; pleurae not inflated and wholly smooth ; sternite.
