and eight). There is no terminal claw, but the last three or four denticulate spines are 

 considerably longer than the others on segment lo (Fig. 39 d).

Other two together, with a distinct prominence on the dorsal surface (Fig. 38 c). Femur

Remarks. Although the specimens are very small the genital pores are conspicuous

 probable that this female has the full number (29) of denticulate spines on the oviger 

 for the species.
