168 E. ELLINGSEN ON 



Abdomen. Tergites and sternites glossy, very minutely 

 shagreen ed, the anterior tergites somewhat more distinctly so. 

 Along the hinder margins are pointed hairs, on the last somite 

 " tactile hairs." 



Palps about as long as the body when the abdomen is extended, 

 glossy. Coxa and the lower side of trochanter smooth, the other 

 joints (except the fingers) more or less distinctly granulated, more 

 so on the upper and the inner side, on the adjoining part of the 

 lower side of the femur, and on some parts of tibia and hand. 

 The hairs pointed, densely set, and rather long. Trochanter with 

 a very short stalk, when this is excepted considerably longer than 

 wide, the inner side very little convex, the outer side nearly 

 straight, with a very small prominence about in the middle. 

 Femur with a distinct stalk, rather robust, the stalk included, 

 about three times as long as wide, the inner side nearly straight 

 from the beginning of the stalk to the extremity or slightly 

 convex in the middle, behind obliquely widened from the stalk, 

 the outer margin nearly straight or even a little concave in 

 the middle; femur for the greater part nearly parallel-sided and 

 not attenuated towards the extremity. Tibia with a rather long 

 stalk, apart from this broadly and somewhat obliquely oblong, the 

 outer side somewhat flattened from the beginning of the stalk for 

 a distance, the distal part a little convex, on the inner side rather 

 abruptly widened from the stalk, the inner margin proper rather 

 strongly convex; tibia in all but little narrowing towards the 

 extremity. Hand with a proportionally long stalk, with obli-quely 

 rounded base, somewhat elongate, the outer side very little convex, 

 the inner much more so, and there passing rather abruptly into 

 the fingers. Fingers robust, only slightly curved, about as long 

 as the hand, on the inner margins with many small teeth, closely 

 set. 



Mandibles. Galea equal in both sexes, small, at the point 

 divided into two to three fine teeth. 



Legs with pointed hairs, the femora of the two posterior pairs 

 not very broad. The outer corner of the coxa of the first 

 pair with a strong, dark point. The coxae of the fourth pair 

 nearly alike in both sexes, broad, set closely together. Claws 

 simple. 



There is no essential difference between the sexes, except the 

 sexual area ; the single £ I have seen is considerably smaller
