with a vestigial third row in front. The metepimernm bears eight or nine bristles 

 (4 or , 4). 



Abdomen. — Tergites 1 to V bear on each side one or two short apical dorsal 

 spines ; I to VII have two rows of bristles, with a vestigial third row in the ¥ ; on 

 II to VI two of the bristles of the posterior row are placed below the stigma. 

 Sternites III to VI bear a single row, in the c? of about eight on the two sides 

 together, and in the ? of about nine or ten, with a few bristles in front of the row 

 on sternites III to IV, which are particularly evident in the ?. Sternite VII 

 (text-fig. 11, VII. st.) has in the ? eighteen bristles on the two sides together, the 

 row being placed near the ajiical margin. 



Legs. — The hindcoxa has a row of spiniform bristles on the inner surface, 

 besides thinner bristles. The hindfemur bears on the outer side three snbapical 

 ventral bristles and on the inside one short one. The mid- and hindtibiae have 

 five to seven dorsal notches, and three rows of lateral bristles on the outer surface. 



CUopujlla towu&endi. 



The bristles do not form a comb. There are no lateral bristles on the inner side of 

 the tibiae. The forefemur has one lateral bristle on the inside and none on the 

 outside. The bristles of the tarsi are numerous, but short ; the longest a{)ical 

 bristle of the first hindtarsal segment does not reach to the ape.x of the second 

 segment. 



Modified Segments. — S. The eighth sternite is longer than the tergite, and has 

 a row of six bristles, with one or two additional ventral bristles. The clasper 

 (text-fig. 10, CI) is large, longer than broad, with the upper margin nearly straight, 

 the ventral margin distinctly rounded, and the apex obtuse. It bears about sixteen 

 bristles, of which three are situated at the apical margin. The manubrium (M) 

 is very slender as compared with the clasper. The exopodite F is quite small, 

 placed near the apex of the clasper, and bears some thin hairs at the ventral 

 margin. The inner and outer arms of the ninth sternite somewhat resemble a 

 lyre (IX. st), being rather strongly rounded at the elbow. There is one rather stout 

 short spine near the tip of the outer arm, a smaller bristle at the tip, and some thin
