Legs. — The bristles on the forecoxa are long but not numerons, being sitnatecl 

 at or near the anterior edge. The hindcoxa, which is very little longer at the 

 meral sntnre than it is broad near the base, is covered on the anterior part of 

 the onter snrface with slender hairs, and bears posteriorly at the apex two long 

 bristles. The spines on the back of all the femora are long. The forefemnr bears 

 a row of hairs on the onterside beginning dorsally at the base and ending veatrally 

 near the apex at a pair of longer bristles, accompanied by some short hairs. On 

 the inuerside of the forefemnr there are some long hairs at the side and two 

 ventrally near the apex. The mid- and hindfemora bear on the onterside 

 a row of hairs beginning laterally at the base and ending ventrally near the 

 apex. On the innerside the femora bear two ventral subajncal bristles. The 

 curved apical spine of the forefemnr and the dorsal spines of the foretibia are 

 very stout and blunt. The foretibia bears four pairs of such spines, bnt one 

 or the other spine is generally absent, or replaced by a hair (PI. VII. fig. 10). 

 The dorsal bristles of the mid- and hindtibiae are normal in size; the first 

 pair is small, the third minnte, and the sixth stands close to the seventh. The 

 tarsal segments 1 to 3 bear, besides the apical bristles, only one or two hairs 

 ventrally at the onterside. The first segment of the mid- and hindtarsi have one 

 or two hairs also on the innerside. The fifth tarsal segment (PI. VIII. fig. l.j) 

 is very large, and its apical third is dilated. The segment bears ventrally at each 

 side four heavy spines from the base to the middle, and on the dilated portion 

 a bristle, a spine, and a snbapical bristle. The two subapical ventral spine-like 

 bristles of the fifth segment stand close together and on a level with each other. 

 The claw is not quite so long as the fifth segment, being nearly as long as the 

 foretibia measured at the ventral edge. The proportional length of the mid- and 

 hindtarsal segments is in so far very remarkable, as the first hindtarsal segment 

 is shorter than the second. The longest apical bristle of the first hindtarsal 

 segment reaches to the base of the third spine of the fifth segment. The fourth 

 tarsal segment is separated from the fifth. The measurements of the mid- and 

 hindtarsi are as follows : — 



Modified Segments. — The clasper of the c? is very large, and bears a large, 

 somewhat diamond-shaped, finger (PL VIII. fig. 14). The ninth sternite (ix. st.) 

 is ventrally not completely separated into two halves. It bears at each side two 

 long apical hairs, and at the upper edge several short ones. The tenth tergite is 

 longer than the pygidial plate. It is covered with numerous bristles, of which 

 one (situated laterally at the base) is very long. The tenth sternite is small but 

 quite distinct, and bears a bunch of bristles at the apex. The eighth tergite of 

 the ? has no bristles above the stigma, and about seven bristles on the onterside 

 (PI. VIII. fig. 12), besides numerous shorter bristles on the inner surface. The 

 anterior edge of the jiygidial plate is more strongly raised in the ¥ than in the 

 c? dorsally in the mesial line, projecting backwards. The anal tergite, in a lateral 

 view, is strongly rounded, being almost semicircular. Its bristles are relatively
