front margin almost straight also ; two distinct, deep, straight, 

 transverse grooves, the anterior one about in the middle, the 

 posterior groove a little nearer to the hinder margin than 

 to the first. The surface coarsely and evenly granulated, 

 laterally with some larger granules, with short, pale, clavate 

 hairs. 



Abdomen. Tergites generally divided longitudinally, even the 

 last one, but the division may often be somewhat indistinct ; 

 the surface distinctly granulated, the sclerites provided along the 

 hinder margins w T ith short, strong, decidedly clavate hairs, in- 

 clining backwards; no "tactile hairs" on the last somite. 

 Sternites (except the sexual one) divided longitudinally, the 

 surface minutely granulated or nearly shagreened; along the 

 margins are rows of distinctly clavate hairs. 



Palps about as long as the body, moderately robust, distinctly 

 granulated and without gloss (coxa included), except the fingers ; 

 femur and tibia, besides the common granulation, are provided 

 with some scattered, larger granules, especially on the inner side. 

 The hairs of the proximal joints are somewhat clavate, distally 

 the hairs become only obtuse; the fingers have pointed hairs. 

 Trochanter with a rather long stalk, subglobose, the inner side 

 strongly convex, the outer and upper sides each with a rather 

 strong prominence. Femur with a short, but distinct stalk, the 

 inner side nearly straight, a little sinuated, however, near the 

 extremity, behind rounded at the base and at the extremity, 

 the outer margin nearly straight or very slightly convex ; femur 

 altogether nearly parallel-sided, seen laterally somewhat curved 

 upwards. Tibia with a short, but robust stalk, shorter than 

 femur, somewhat oblique and gradually widening from the 

 stalk, somewhat rounded at the extremity, the inner side rather 

 strongly convex in the proximal half, the outer margin (the 

 rounding of the stalk excepted) nearly straight in the greater 

 proximal part, distinctly convex towards the extremity. Hand 

 with a distinct stalk, about as long as and much broader than 

 tibia, with obliquely rounded base, the outer side slightly convex, 

 the inner side considerably more strongly so, passing somewhat 

 abruptly into the fingers. Fingers robust, somewhat curved, in 

 $ about as long as the hand and somewhat gaping, in $ a little 

 shorter than the hand. 



Mandibles. Galea in (J very small, with no teeth; in $
