yellow ; the femur and patella of the 4th pair, and to a lesser 

 extent of the 3rd, infuscate. 



c? . Resembling the female in colour, size, and spine-armature 

 of legs, but with longer, stronger legs and palpi, and narrower head 

 and mandibles. Width of head equal to about half the length of the 

 patella of the palp and nearly three-quarters its tibia, a little less 

 than two-thirds the length of the patella and about three-quarters 

 the tibia of the 4th leg. Mandible with flagellum short, the stalk not 

 much shorter than the blade ; the blade lanceolate, much broader 

 than the stalk, broadest across the basal half and evenly narrowed 

 to the point; distal five teeth of the upper jaw small and forming 

 a lobulate crest ; lower jaw with two minor teeth. Palp with 

 patella armed below with about twelve spines arranged in three 

 rows, the spines exceeding the height of the segment ; tibia 

 armed with six pairs of spines, these spines much longer than in 

 the female, but not exceeding the height of the segment; inferior 

 area of segment between the spines studded from base to distal end 

 with setiferous tubercles, the setae they bear are short, erect, cylin- 

 drical, slightly narrower at the base, truncate at apex and not so 

 long as the spines. Pad on tarsus of 4th leg consisting of whitish 

 but opaque, basally narrowed and apically acuminate but not filiform 

 bristles. A transverse row of about half a dozen reddish-coloured 

 bristles on the posterior border of the 5th abdominal sternum. 

 Large blade of the external malleolus at least as wide as half the 

 width of the head-plate.

2 • Closely allied to the typical form, but with the palpi darker ; 

 the whole of the patella, tibia, and tarsus being uniformly infuscate, 

 distal extremity of femur of palp, and femur and patella of legs, 

 infuscate. Tarsus of 4th leg with normally only 4 pairs of spines, 

 the apical segment rarely armed with 1 spine. Total length up to 

 about 30 mm.
