two spines or one spine on each side. On the seventh tergite there is in the S one 

 long apical bristle, and above it a small hair, while in the ? there are three bristles, 

 of which the lower one is at least two-thirds the length of the middle one. The 

 first sternite bears in the S a few extremely small hairs on the side, and in the ¥ 

 one or two longer ones in addition, besides a ventral pair. The sternites of the third 

 to seventh segments have two or three bristles on each side in the <?, and a few 

 small hairs in front of them. In the ? there are six or seven bristles on the 

 sternites of the fifth and seventh segments, wliilo the sternites of segments 4 and 6 

 bear five bristles, exclusive of some smaller hairs standing in front of them. 



Legs. — The hindcoxa is about oue-fifth longer at the meral sntnre than it is 

 broad. The hairy area of the inner side extends to the base. The hindfemur has 

 one subapical bristle, and on the inner side a lateral row of eight or nine in the cj 

 and eleven or twelve in the ? . The hindtibia bears on the outer side a lateral row 

 of si.K or seven bristles, and on the inner side a row of six or eight. The dorsal 

 bristles are partly very long, the longer one of the subapical pair being about twice 

 as long as the tibia is broad. The tarsal segments have very few bristles on the 

 ventral surface. The longest apical lateral bristle of the first hindtarsal segment 

 reaches beyond the apex of the second segment. The measurements of the niid- 

 and hindtarsi are as follows : — 



Modified Segments. — (J. The eighth tergite is very large; it bears a patch 

 of about ten bristles below the stigma, and numerous long bristles at and near 

 the ventral edge (PI. VIII. fig. 25). The eighth sternite is small, long, and canoe- 

 shaped, and has many long bristles ventrally at and before the apex. The process 

 of the clasper is broad and rounded, being longer than the finger. It jMssesses two 

 small hairs at the apex and two long bristles at the juncture with the finger, there 

 being below these two or more short bristles (PI. VIII. fig. 25, i>). The finger is 

 long and pointed, its proximal edge being nearly straight, while the distal edge is 

 evenly curved (PI. VIII. fig. 25, f). It bears two long and several short bristles, as 

 shown in the figure. The manubrium (m) is curved downwards at the apex. The 

 ninth sternite bears proximally of the sinas two bristles, and further towards the 

 base two flat, pointed, modified bristles, which somewhat resemble the Ijlade of a 

 knife. 



? . The seventh sternite is very slightly sinuate below the upper angle. The 

 upper angle of the eighth tergite (PI. VIII. fig. 24) is acute. There are two bristles 

 below the stigma and three at and near the apical edge of the eighth tergite. 

 Proximally of these three there are some spine-like bristles, and further towards 

 the base about twelve more bristles, as shown in the figure. The stylet is not more 

 than three times as long as it is broad. At the angle of the anal tergite below the 

 insertion of the stylet there are one long and several short bristles.

The sexual organs of the S of this species are quite different from those of 

 ('. montanua Baker ; the ¥ , moreover, can be distiugnished from that sex of 

 moiitaiius by the seventh tergite possessing three apical bristles, and by. the length
