stipes iiot much produced beueath. First pair of legs small, strongly 

 uuciuate. Genitalia concealed. Length of body 11.4-13.5 nini ; width, 



7-8""". 



Habitat. New Harmony, Indiana.

 Segments 30-35. Sides of first segment margin ate; other segments 

 striate both above and below, but more so in the latter; last segment

 rather stout, sparsely pilose. Male: mandibulary stipes moderately 

 produced beneath. First pair of feet short, scarcely thickened, strongly 

 unciuate. Genitalia half concealed; anterior plate entirely concealed,

I have examined numerous specimens of this species from Bloom-

 having a thick growth of grass. 



The females are considerably more robust than the males.
