The galea sometimes forms a palpus-like appendage. Now these three lobes may be easily distinguished in the maxilla of Lepisma. They are very long and large, and five or six-jointed. The galea, or middle division, forms a simple lobe, while the lacinia has two large chitinous teeth on the inner edge, and internally four or five hairs arising from a thin edge.
This latter is provided above with two slender six-jointed antennae, two very large faceted eyes at the side, and three ocelli forming a triangle. The last four segments, of decreasing breadth, are retractile beneath the carapax, as is also the broad plume that terminates them, and which is formed of three short, transparent, and elegantly ciliated bristles.
Two dorsal tubercles on the abdomen. Papirius. Antennæ four-jointed, without a well-marked elbow, and with a short terminal segment offering the appearance of being many-jointed. Orchesella. Segments of the body unequal in size, more or less thickly clothed with clubbed hairs. Antennæ long, six-jointed. Degeeria. Segments of the body unequal in size, more or less thickly clothed by clubbed hairs.
