This description is taken from one of Say's original specimens. It has the mandibular 

 tooth very distinct, but the labium is convex, with a straight border, without dent'uu 

 lations. The posterior legs are much elongated, and the lateral tpp fined, 



and terminated with an acute spine. The preanal scale is mboordate, with th< 

 border slightly rounded.

This is an exceedingly interesting species. The cephalic segment is convex, subquad 



ovate, with a slight sulcus between the insertions of the antennae: the dental border oi 

 the labium is nearly straight, with a very slight emargination : mandibles tipped with 

 black: dorsal plates convex, not margined, but impressed on each side with I 

 sulcus, and having the posterior angles slightly produced ; posterior pair of 

 gated, tapering, fourteen-jointed ; the femur and tibia spined. Lateral anal appeu 

 also much elongated, with the apex black and acute. Preanal scale quadrate, n 

 narrow behind, with the margin straight.
