spines, also I posterior and 2 anterior spines (including an apical

 spines, also an anterior row of 2 and a posterior row of 3 slenderer 

 spines (including an apical inferior pair) ; the tarsi of these legs and 

 the distal segments of the IV. leg with several spines ; no apical 

 spines on the tibiae. 



Mandibles stout and bristly. Upper jaw with 3 large teeth in the 

 single series and 2 minute teeth between the second and third large 

 ones; the terminal fang strongly curved downwards, but only 

 slightly outwards, at the apex. Lower jaw with 2 strong teeth and

 distal stripe, the innermost stripe with a yellow distal spot ; the 

 lateral stripe obsolete anteriorly. Abdomen pale, the anteriorrnost

 the middle line. Legs infuscated, except on the under side, on the 

 posterior side of the femora, and on the upper and posterior sides of 

 the trochanters, where they are pale yellow ; in the femora and
