The two upper ocellar spots small, circular, pale, well defined, the undermost just as small, but much less distinct. The elevation on the frons (the " clypeus " of Peringuey) is very blunt and slight, defined on either side by a not very strongly marked, though distinct, subantennal pit, becoming gradually more shallow downwards and finally ceasing altogether. Frons obliquely truncate downwards tov/ards the clypeus in the shape. Fig. 15.—Faku minax, ^. Left: Head in frontal view. Right above : End of hind tibia from inside. Right below : Subgenital plate. Same magnifications as in fig. 12 (head less magnified than the other figures). of a broad, low triangle which is transversely slightly rugulose (" striolate," Peringuey). Mandibles short and broad, very heavy, in the unique type specimen widely separated (by preparation). In the normal position I suppose they will no doubt fit close to the clypeus and labrum without any free space between them. Pronotum 7-7 mm. long, with fore and hind margins very slightly rounded, almost transversely truncate ; fore and hind cross sulci broad and very shallow, separated from fore and hind margins respectively by about one-sixth to one-fifth of pronotal length. Lateral lobes longer than high, with very slightly rounded lower margin, somewhat obliquely ascending fore and hind margin ; fore and hind angle bluntly obtuse-angulate. Ascending branch of V-sulcus situated about in the middle of lateral lobes, strongly and deeply impressed ; no other sculpture distinguishable with Please note that the
