trally four or five small bristles, while higher up there is a patch of about 

 twelve. The fore coxa contains numerous bristles. The fore femur has 

 on its inner surface two bristles, while its outer surface contains about 

 twenty fine bristles. The mid femur contains a row of bristles on its 

 outer and inner surfaces, the outer row containing about twelve and the 

 inner row about 8 

 or 10. The hind 

 femur contains a 

 row of about sev- 

 enteen bristles on 

 its outer surface, 

 and a row of about 

 the same number 

 on its inner surface. 

 The legs are very 

 bristly. The pos- 

 terior tibia contains 

 on its posterior bor- 

 der seven groups 

 of spines in pairs, 

 and an apical group 

 consisting of three 

 spines, while be- 

 tween the sixth and 

 seventh paired 

 groups there are 

 three single spines. 

 The outer surface 

 contains two rows 

 of about 8 or 9 bris- 

 tles each. The 

 longest of the apical 

 bristles of the sec- 

 ond hind tarsal joints reaches to the fifth. There are five lateral spines 

 on the last tarsal joints of all the legs, the first pair being slightly dislo- 

 cated towards the median line. There are also on all these joints a pair 

 of subapical bristles and hairs. 



Modified Segments. The end of the abdomen is very bristly. The 

 eighth tergite contains above the sensory plate about ten small bristles, 

 while laterally below the sensory plate there is a group of about eight 

 stout bristles. Below this there is a patch of thirty bristles, some of which 

 are on the apical margin. The stylet is long, narrow, much slenderer at 

 the tip than at the base. At the tip there is one long, slender bristle and 

 two more, a large and a small, come from its under margin. The sub-
