mesonotum bears unraeroiis bails at tbe Imse, and dorsally o transverse rows of 

 stout sliort bristb's, eaeb row contaiuiug from 4 to f! sucli bristles. As in art/i/ptiiis, 

 the ejiiniernm of the niesothorax rapidly narrows posteriorly and the stigma is 

 not covered. Tiie metanotiim is also shajjed like that of ai'iji/ptiu.i. It bears 

 a siiViapical row of 6 stout bristles on the two sides together, and 4 or 5 rows of 

 shorter ones, all of which are restricted to the dorsal heavily chitinised portion 

 of the raetanotuni. The ejiiraerum of the metathora.x has one stout bristle at 

 the ape.x aii<l a second one close to it, as well as about 5 shorter and thinner 

 bristles on the side. 



Ahdomen. — The first abdominal tergite bears two rows of abont bristles 

 each on the two sides togetlier. The second to seventh tergites have each a 

 bristle beneath the stigma and another above the stigma, tliese bristles being 

 sep.arated by a wide intersj)ace from the dorsal portion of the row to which 

 they belong. The first and second abdominal tergites, like the luetanotum, bear 

 two dorsal ajiical spines. The seventh tergite has one long aj)ical bristle on 

 each side, accompanied by two small hairs. 



Legs. — The first foretarsal segment is only one-third longer than it is 

 broad. The pnijiortions of the segments are in the midtarsus : x;4, X!l, 14, 1), 18, 

 and in the hindtarsus, 35, 25, 16, lU, 20. 



Modilicd Scgmrnts. — S. The eighth sternite is triangular in lateral view. 

 The eighth tergite (PI. Vlll. fig. 2) bears bristles at the ujiper edge posteriorly 

 to the very large stigma, and two on each side. The movable process of the 

 clasper is feebly incurved on the jiroximal side and slightly rounded distally ; 

 the distal side bears a row of minute hairs. The apex of the penis is apically 

 produced into a slender hook, while the apical margin bears a tooth further down, 

 as sliown in the fignre.
