along the posterior edge of the antennal groove. The occiput contains 

 three rows of bristles, an anterior row of about five or six small ones, 

 a middle row of about six, somewhat larger and a subapical row of 

 about six. The lowest of these bristles are the longest. The prono- 

 tum has one row of about ten bristles with a ctenidium of about four- 

 teen spines. The mesonotum has two rows of bristles, a posterior of 

 about eight larger and an anterior of about sixteen smaller ones. In 

 front of this row there are a few hairs, more or less regularly dis- 

 posed. The same may be said of the metanotum. The episternum of 

 the metathorax contains two bristles, the sternum one or two larger 

 ones. There are two rows of bristles on the cpimcrum, an anterior 

 and posterior which contain four bristles each. The lowest in the pos- 

 terior row is very much the largest. Still posterior to this is a single 

 large bristle. The first tergite contains two rows of bristles, an an- 

 terior of ten large and a posterior of more numerous smaller bristles, 

 The next six tergites each contain two rows of bristles, the posterior 

 of about fourteen large, of which the lowest is placed just below the 

 stigma and an anterior of about fourteen smaller ones. On the first 

 tergite there is one tooth, and on the second, two teeth, on the third 

 and fourth, one tooth on each side. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth 

 sternites each contain a single row of about six bristles with two 

 smaller ones just anterior to this row. The seventh sternite in the 

 female contains about eight or ten larger bristles with a few small ones 

 in a row anterior. There are three antipygidial bristles on each side, 

 the middle of which is the longest. The fore coxa is normally bristled, 

 while the fore femur contains two rows of bristles on the outer side 

 of about five bristles each. The mid and hind femur are without 

 bristles on the lateral surface. The hind coxa contains a patch of 

 eight or ten teeth and a few hairs on its inner surface. The fifth 

 tarsal joint of the fore and mid leg contains four lateral spines and a 

 fifth pair between the first pair. The last tarsal joint of the hind leg 

 contains four pairs of lateral spines. The spines on the posterior 

 border of the hind tibia are in pairs while the lateral surface is covered 

 with about eighteen bristles in two rows placed close together. None 

 of the apical bristles of the tarsi are longer than the next preceding 

 joint. Length of tarsal segments:

Modified Segments : The eighth sternite contains a row of about 

 eight small hairs, while laterally there are. two bristles, a large and a 

 small, beneath and in front of the pygidium. Below there is a row of 

 three stout bristles with a few smaller ones while on the apical mar- 

 gin there are also about three large bristles and a few small ones. The
