 hairs, bristles and spines, but the spines on the tibiae and metatarsi 

 of the first and second pairs much the longest and strongest, and 

 directed forwards on the underside. 



Palpi moderately long, and strong, similar in colour and 

 armature to the legs, each terminating with a small curved claw. 



Falces long and strong, similar in colour to the legs ; furnished

 broadest towards its fore extremity, and thickly furnished with 

 short hairs.

 somewhat flattish, though slightly depressed towards the middle ; 

 hinder part higher and broader than the fore extremity, and 

 thickly tuberculated, with a few small tubercles and punctures 

 scattered over the surface, and an irregular row of rather large 

 tubercles along the lateral margins ; the underside and sides of a
