Legs. — The coxae are long. There are very few bri.stles on the outer surface of 

 the forecoxa, apart from a row of fonr which extends obliquely from the apex to 

 the hinder edge. The hindcoxa has an irregular comb of four to six spines, and 

 bears three stout bristles jmsteriorly at the apex, the uppermost being the longest. 

 The anterior femur bears in tlie ? on the outerside an irregular series of four hairs, 

 and on the innerside two hairs : in the c? two hairs on the outerside and one on 

 the inner, besides a ventral sabapical bristle on each side in both sexes. The hind- 

 femur has on the outerside two subapical ventral bristles, one in front of the other, 

 and on the innerside a row of five or six in the c? and of seven or eight in the ?. 

 The tibiae bear on each side only two short hairs near the ventral edge, one standing 

 near tlie apex and the other in or near the middle, one or the other of which may 

 be missing. The hindtibia has one row of hairs on the outerside near the dorsal 

 bristles. The longer bristle of the fifth pair of the hindtibia is twice as long as the 

 tibia is broa<l, being longer than the longest dorsal apical bristle. This apical 

 bristle reaches just beyond the middle of the first tarsal segment in the ? , being a 

 little longer in the cJ, while the longest apical ventral bristle reaches in both sexes 

 to the apex of the segment. The fourth tarsal segment is very short and cup- 

 shaped. Tlie first hindtarsal segment is more than half as long again as the fifth, 

 excluding claw. 



The measurements of the tarsi are : — 



The third stout bristle of the two ventral rows of the fifth segment are a|i[)roxi- 

 niate. The shorter bristle of the snbapieal mesial ventral j)air of the same segment 

 is much more proximal than the longer one. 



Modified Segments.— The sexual apparatus of the S (PI- VMII. fig. 18) 

 resembles that of Piili:r i-s/dis; the second process of the clasjier is, however, 

 longer than in that species, and the ninth sternite is more curved and bears a 

 number of very short hairs along the ventral edge. 



The bristles on the eighth tergite of the 5 are rather short and jiartly stout ; 

 their position is shown in the figure (PI. IX. fig. 25).
