Legs fulvous, tinged, except proximally, with brown. Pleural region a little 

 paler than dorsum, venter palest. 



Antennae moderately long and slender, the second to sixth articles inclusive 

 but httle differing in length. Head smooth, in part obscurely sparsely granu- 

 lar; below level of antennae with numerous straight hairs, with fewer above. 

 Vertigial sulcus deep, extending to level of antennae. 



Cervical plate with anterior margin smooth, evenly rounded from caudo- 

 lateral corners. Surface densely granular, with an anterior, a posterior, 

 and an irregularly doubled middle transverse series of larger setigerous tuber- 

 cles. Other tergites from the third to the eighteenth inclusive with a well- 

 marked transverse sulcus. All from second to nineteenth with well-developed 

 keels having angles distinct, obviously elevated ; each mth two lateral setiger- 

 ous teeth, one at the anterior angle and one near middle of length; posterior 

 angles all acute, becoming more and more produced caudad, the processes of 

 the last plates extending directly caudad, rather narrowly acute; lateral 

 margin of keels shallowly longitudinally furrowed, the depression limited by a 

 thin raised edge above and below, the furrow broadest on the poriferous keels. 

 Dorsal surface of all tergites excepting the anal densely granular; each with 

 three transverse rows of larger, more elevated setigerous tubercles, one across 

 anterior border, one just caudad of the sulcus and one along the caudal margin. 

 The hairs distally a httle clavate. Sides of metazonites strongly granular 

 like the dorsal surface but without the larger setigerous tubercles. Venter 

 smooth. 



Anal tergite triangular, caudally narrowly truncate. Surface more or less 

 distinctly transversely rugose, without tubercles or granules excepting two 

 transverse rows of setigerous ones, one series submedian and one a httle in 

 front of caudal end. 



Gonopods of male just above femoral division of telopodite with a process 

 or spur extending directly mesad and meeting that from the other gonopod, 

 each spur somewhat expanded beyond the base and curved slightly caudad; 

 the distal division above proximal end curving mesad and then ventrad in 

 contact with that from the opposite member, the seminiferous branch closely 

 apphed to it throughout.
