A single specimen, ^00/- hope, 6 July, 1904. Verrall in his original description says Cubital vein (second thick vein) simple ; but in the Woolhope insect the vein is forked, the branch lying about midway between the first and second thick veins. It is, however, very fine, and probably was quite invisible under the conditions (gummed down on card) in which Mr. Verrall examined his insect. The foretarsi are of a peculiar pointed shape, the metatarsi being nearly as wide as the tibiae, and the succeeding joints gradually narrowing down to the strikingly slender end ones. Becker includes it among the genera without ocelli — by an oversight, however, for Verrall distinctly mentions the presence of these organs. The original specimen, bred by Sir John Lubbock (now Lord Avebury), has unfortunately been lost Gymnophora arcuata, Mg. Trineura aterrima, F. T. velutina, Mg. T. stictica, Mg.
