Jamaica: on Pimento (Pimenta officinalis, Lindl.), 191G ; "attended by the so-called ' stinking-ant,' Cremastogaster sp., and to be found under the loose bark ; not of great ; (A. H. Ritchie). This may possibly prove to be Townsend's Llaveia primitiva, the slight differences being possibly due to the age of the individuals. Probably the normal number of antennal segments will prove to be ten. More material is needed, Monophlebus ?hirtus, Brain. Brain* in his brief description of Monophlebus hirtus states that " the dermis is closely crowded with slightly clubbed glandular hairs and occasional long hairs, the latter fitting into thickened sockets,'*' these characters being the salient features of the species. In the only specimen I have before me, the derm, more especially at the margin, is crowded with stout, blunt, curved spines (fig. 1, b), which, though. Fig 1. Monophlebus ? hirtus, Brain, 9; marginal spines and hairs. slightly narrowed proximally, can scarcely be said to be club-shaped. Before my example was passed through the various reagents and mounted in Canada balsam, the margin wasseen to be broadly set with long and very stiff hairs (fig. 1, a) ; but these were so easily^deciduous and brittle that the majority of them broke away in the preparation.
