Abdomen. — All the torgitcs licar two rows of bristles. The secoud row, which 

 cuuluius seven bristles ou each side ou terjiites 2 to 7, is curved, esjieciully iu 

 the ? . The seventh terglte bears in the S one snbapical bristle accompauieil by 

 a small hair ou the veutral side, but in the ? there are two lonjr bristles similarly 

 jilaced. These bristles staud at some distance from the apical edge. The tirst 

 sternite bears one veutral bristle. The following four sternites have in the (S a row 

 of two or three and in the ? a row of three or fonr hairs, the fourth being much 

 shorter than the others. There are also one or two hairs in front of this row iu the ? . 

 On the sternite of the seventh segment there is a row of five or six bristles, with 

 two shorter hairs in front. 



Legs. — Tlie mid- and hindcoxae have two bristles posteriorly at the apex. 

 The hiudfemnr bears on each side one subveutral bristle near the apex, and on the 

 inner surface towards the base another small bristle. The mid- and hiudtibiae bear 

 no hairs at the anterior (or ventral) edge, except the apical and snbapical bristles. 

 There is one row of lateral bristles on the outer side of these tibiae, and on the inner 

 side of the hindtibia also a row of four to six bristles. The first hindtarsal segment 

 has three lateral pairs of bristles ou the anterior side, and four to six ou the 

 posterior. Near the posterior lateral bristles there are ou this segment from one 

 to three bristles. The longest apical bristle of this segment reaches a little beyond 

 the base of the snbapical pair of the second segment. The longest apical bristle of 

 the second segment does uot reaeli tiie apex of the third. The fifth segment is 

 broad. It bears four lateral bristles, besides a snbapical hair, and there is also 

 a ventral pair of bristles in between the first lateral pair. The measurements of 

 the mid- and hiudtarsi are as follows : 



Modified Segments. — The eighth tergite of the cT is large. It bears a number 

 of small hairs aliove the stigma. At the apical edge there are five or six long 

 bristles aud ou the lateral surface seven or nine more. The eighth sternite is small 

 bnt quite distinct (Fl. XIII. fig. 4, viii. st.). The process of the clasper (PI. XIII. 

 fig. 4, ?) is rounded, bearing two small hairs at the top. The finger (f) is shaped 

 like an inverted boot, the dorsal edge representing the sole. It bears a bristle at 

 the apex and three more at the ventral edge, besides a short hair situated near the 

 upper proximal angle. There are two very long bristles at the junction of the 

 finger with the cla.sper. The ninth sternite (ix. st.) bears an elongate-ovate apical 

 flap, which is widest at the apex. We cannut make out the exact outline of 

 this sternite. Tiie seventh sternite of the ? is olituse, being obliquely rotundate- 

 truueate (PI. XIII. fig. 3, vii. st.). The eighth tergite (viii. t.) bears a number of 

 short hairs above the stigma and a long bristle aud three short hairs near it. The 

 segment is emargiuate at the apex, with the veutral angle somewhat more 

 prujertiug and less rouuded tluin the ujiper angle. There are at the a]iical edge 

 three bristles aud one short s[)iiie-likc hair. Proximally of these there are three 

 more bristles, and farther down and si ill more pripximal six additional ones. The 

 cightli sternite (viii. st.) is very narrow and long. It is rounded at the apex (lateral
