The legs on each side of the genital opening in the female with 

 the foot normally developed, although smaller than that of the pre- 

 ceding legs, the trunk much reduced but better developed than in 

 either of the preceding species and longer than the foot, generally 

 with two, sometimes even with three, rarely only one distinct spinous 

 pad, and several rows of papillae between the pad and the body on 

 the median side. In the male the foot, pads, and trunk of the leg 

 are much more reduced than in the female. 



Most of the papillae of the dorsal and lateral surfaces are short 

 and stumpy with rounded apices, often conico-hemisphaerical, 

 especially the larger ones of the middle portions of the body, the 

 smaller ones, however, often sub-cylindrical in their distal part and 

 slenderer ; none are ever clavate. 



Length and width of only $ (preserved in ale. sol. of HgCl. 2 and 

 contracted) : 25 x 4-25 mm. 



Length and width of largest 2 (similarly contracted) : 52 x 7 mm. 



Colour of preserved specimens (24- years in spirits).*- Dorsal and 

 lateral surfaces : Ground colour made up of black (varying to greenish 

 black) and orange-brown pigment. The latter predominates in the 

 broad dorsal band on each side of the medio-dorsal stripe, and 

 especially in the lateral band just above the bases of the legs on 

 each side, both pairs of bands appearing orange-brown. The dark 

 pigment predominates in five longitudinal dark stripes, corresponding 

 to those of balfouri. Of these the medio-dorsal one is the darkest 

 and narrowest, and is divided longitudinally by a fine white line, 

 while the upper lateral stripes are very broad with numerous orange- 

 brown papillae. 



The papillae are black with numerous large orange-brown ones 

 interspersed amongst them. These latter are broadly orange-brown 

 round their bases, and mostly not green-tipped ; they are evenly dis- 

 tributed over the whole surface, often occurring in the lower dark 

 lateral stripe as well. In the light-coloured lateral bands the dark 

 pigment of the papillae is often almost entirely replaced by orange- 

 brown. 



Ventral surface uniformly pale, without pigment, or more often 

 with dark pigment forming a faint or more or less distinct median 

 longitudinal stripe, and transverse stripes between the bases of 

 opposite legs. 



* These specimens are mentioned in Trans. S. A. Phil. Soc., ix., p. xviii, 

 1897. The original colour of the dorsal surface has remained practically un- 

 changed, as far as I can recollect, although the original tints of the ventral side 

 have probably disappeared.
