Palp. Terminal longer than penultimate segment, both setose (Fig. i8 b). Two 

 terminal segments together equal to third, and a little shorter than second segment. 



Oviger. Terminal claw equal to tenth segment and armed with 5-7 spinules. Total 

 number of denticulate spines 19-22. Segments 4-6 in the proportions 1-3 : 1-73 : i 

 (Fig. 18 a); fifth segment curved and of almost uniform diameter throughout. 



Third leg. Second coxa a little longer than the sum of the other two. Femur slightly 

 shorter than first tibia; four low wide gland tubercles on proximal half of ventral 

 margin. Second tibia the longest segment. Tarsus short, approximately one-third of 

 propodus; claw short; auxiliaries long (|-f of claw). A number of rather long setae 

 on coxae, femur and first tibia, those on the distal segments shorter and more numerous.

 relatively short and straight (i'33 : 1-33 : i).
