forbundet saavel med det foregaaende som etterfølgende Seg- 

 ment. Paa Etygsiden tælles 6 parvise Knuder foruden en 

 Del meget smaa saadanne. De 2 følgende Segmenter er, 

 navnlig Ims den ægbærende Hun. noget bredere end de 

 (ivrige og indbyrdes fastere forbundne, dannende tilsammen 

 ligesom et egei Kropsafsnit, fra hvis Underside den af 4 

 store mod hinanden bøiede Plader bestaaende Brystpose 

 rager frem; ethvert af disse Segmenter viser ligeledes oventil 

 ti mere fremtredende Knuder. 5te Segment, der har en 

 meget bevægelig Articulation med det foregaaende, er noget 

 længere end dette, smalest tortil og successivt noget tykkere 

 mod den bagre Ende. Paa Rygsiden af samme tindes som 

 paa de 3 foregaaende Segmenter 6 parvis ordnede Knuder, 

 hvoraf de 2 er beliggende helt fortil, de 4 andre nærmere 

 den fiagic Ende. De 2 sidste Kropssegmenter endelig er 

 ganske korte, stærkt fortykkede noget bag Midten og hvert 

 forsynet med 4 større, næsten pigformige Kunder. 2 dorsale 

 og 4 laterale, dannende tilsammen en buet Tværrad. 



Bagkroppen er som hos Slægtens øvrige Arter aldeles 

 rudimentær, kun dannende et lidet knudeformigt Appendix 

 ved Enden af sidste Kropssegment. 



(tinene er meget smaa, runde, med mørkerødt Pigment, 

 der kun indtager den centrale Del af Øiet. 



Iste Par Følere er usædvanlig stærkt forlængede, 

 næsten af hele Legemets Længde og meget tynde. Af 

 Skaftets Led er det 2det længst, de 2 øvrige omtrent ind- 

 byrdes af ens Længde. Svøben er næsten dobbelt saa lang 

 som Skaftet og bestaar af et sturt Antal (indtil 26) kurte. 

 med fine og korte Børster besatte Led. 



2det Par Følere er kun lidet længere end Iste Pars 

 Skaft og i den bagre Kant besat med lange og stærke 

 Børsteknipper. Svøben bestaar som sædvanlig af et læn- 

 gere Segment og et meget kort Endeled. 



Mundregionen er fuldkommen ubedækket og springer 

 frem umiddelbart bag 2det Par Føleres Pæste. De stærke 

 Kindbakker mangler som hos Slægtens øvrige Arter ethvert 

 Spor af Palper. 



Iste Podpar (Fig. 3 a), der udspringer helt fortil fra 

 Begyndelsen af 1 ste Kropssegment, næsten midt under Ho- 

 vedet, er af den sædvanlige Bygning, med den ydre Del 

 stærkt sammentrykt og Haanden bredest ved Basis, hvor 

 den nedentil danner et vinkelformigt fremspringende Hjørne. 



2det Podpar er langt kraftigere udviklet og udspringer 



fra dell forreste Tredjedel af 2det Segment. Basalleddet 



er noget udvidet mod Enden og forsynet med en skarp, i 

 en tilspidset Fortsats odløbende Kjøl. 3die Led gaar nedad 

 ml i et skarpt Hjørne. 4de Led eller Haandroden er 

 særdeles lidet, neppe synligt. Derimod er det følgende 

 Afsnit eller Haanden mægtigt udviklet. længere end alle de 



connected both with the preceding and the succeeding 

 segments. On the dorsal surface, may be counted 6 pairs 

 of protuberances, exclusive of a number of very small 

 oues. The 2 succeeding segments, more particularly in 

 the ovigerous female, are somewhat broader than the rest. 



aud more rirmU c scted one with the other, consti- 



tuting. as it were, a separate section of the body, from 

 the under surface of whieh the niarsupium. composed of 4 

 large plates bent in one against the other, is seen to prqject; 

 these segments likewise exhibit above as many as i; ra,ther 

 prominent protuberances each. The 5th segment, which is 

 connected with the preceding b\ an exceedingly mobile articu- 

 lation. aftains a somewhat greater length than the latter, is 

 slenderest anteriorly, and gradually becomes a trifle thicker 

 toward the posterior extremity. On its dorsal face. are 

 observed, as pn that of the :; preceding segments, •> protu- 

 berances, arranged in pairs, of whieh 2 occur far in front, 

 the remaining 4 near the posterior end. Finally, the 2 

 last body-segments are quite short, thickly incrassated a 

 little posterior to the niiddle. aud each furnished with 4 

 large, well-nigh spiniform protuberances — 2 dorsal and 2 

 lateral, forming together a curving transversal series. 



The posterior division of the body occurs, as in the other 

 species of the genus, quite rudimentary, constituting merelj 

 a small tuberculiform appendix at the extremity ol' the 

 terminal body-segment. 



The eves are very small, round, with a dark-red pig- 

 ment occupying the central portion only of the eye. 



The Ist pair of antennæ are remarkably produced, 

 equalling abnost the whole body in length. and very slender. 

 Of the joints of the peduncle, the 2nd is longest; the 2 

 others are about equal in length. The nagellum attains 

 neaily double the length of the peduncle. and consists of a 

 large number of articulations (as manj as 26), beset with 

 delicate aud short bristles. 



The 2nd pair of antennæ are hut very little longer than 

 the peduncle of the Ist pair. aud furnished along the pos- 

 terior margin with long and powerful fascicles of bristles. 

 The nagellum consists as usual of a comparatively long 

 segment and a verj short terminal joint. 



The buccal region is wholly uncovered, and juts out 

 immediatelj posterior to the origin ol' the 2nd pair of an- 

 tenna'. As in the other species of the genus, the powerful 

 mandibles do not exhibit the slightest trace of a palp. 



The Ist pair of legs i rig. :> a), originating on the 

 foremost part of the Ist body-segment, almost immediately 

 under the niiddle of the head. have the usual structure, 

 the outer part being strongly compressed aud the hand 

 hroadest at the base. where it forms below a projecting 

 angular corner. 



The 2nd pair of legs are much more powerfully de- 

 veloped, and issne from the anterior third of the 2nd segment. 

 The basal joint is somewhat dilated towards the extremity. 

 and furnished anteriorly with a sharp carina, jutting out 

 as an acute prolation. The 3rd joint protends below as a 

 sharp corner. The 4th joint, or carpus. is exceedingl] 

 small, well-nigh invisible. ( )n the other hand. the succeeding
