 stout, slightly curved pectinate bristles; two pairs are situated 

 just above the pteromorpha?, two pairs on the crown of the dor- 

 sum, two pairs are posterior in position, and four pairs occur 

 around the margin of the abdomen. The pteromorpha? are at- 

 tached to the anterior half of the side of the abdomen ; are trun- 

 cate in front, and do not extend beyond the anterior margin of 

 the abdomen. Genital covers about three fourths as long as the 

 anal covers and situated one and a half times their length in 

 front of the latter.

 tarsus and tibia subequal; genual more than half as long as the 

 tibia. The tibia and genual of leg I each bear laterally a very 

 stout, slightly curved enlarged spine. Genual of leg IT with a 

 similar spine. Ungues tridactyle.
