 (fig. 18) apice rotundatus, utrinque lobo valde compresso instructus, scilicet late remote furcatus, ramis 

 furcse a supero sublamellaribus, brevibus, rotundatis, divergentibus, basi invicem remotis. Cerci valde

Figttkes:— Fig. 18, the anal dorsal segment of the male, with its process. — Fig. 19, the end of the abdomen 

 in profile. 



Hab. North America, Dallas in Texas (Boll). 



This species closely resembles S. furculata, Brunn., but differs from it in having the 

 anal process not narrowly forked, obtuse at the tip, and bearing on each side of the 

 tip a sort of compressed lamella, forming a very wide short fork.]
