horxzontal row of eighteen to twenty hairs at level of nddlenrth- 

 ventrally with straight posterior and lateral margins, the latter 

 converging basally. Palpi ; Overall length and width of each 

 palpus approximately i^^ dorsallyj segment I just barely visible 

 dorsally, longer ventrally; segment 2 quadrate with a slight an- 

 gular projection at the inner basal juncture, length one-third 

 greater than that of segment 3; segment 3 compressed, semi- 

 circular with broadly pointed outline distallyj ventrally seg- 

 ment 3 with a broadly triangular retrograde spur. Hypostome 



A-^ i^""^ ^ "^^^^ ^^"^ rounded with a slight m i alal not ch 

 and with distinct corona; dentition U/U, with five or six den- 

 ticles m inner files increasing to nine or ten denticles in 

 outer files. 



^^y^"^- 0"^lJ-;;^e slightly convex laterally, more acutely 

 converging anteriorly, bluntly rounded posteriorly; two-thirds 

 as wide as long. Posteromedian groove shallow, narrow, elongate- 

 paramedian grooves similar but shorter; cervical grooves conver ' 

 gent anteriorly, thence divergent for three-four ths of t heir 

 length, extending one-third of scutal length. Hairs on scutum 

 pale, shorter than lateral hairs; numbering abolITt^elve in each 

 scapular area and about twenty anteriorly between the cervical 

 grooves; a row in place of the outline of the female scutum- 

 others scattered in irregular lines on posterior half of scutum- 

 a few rows of longer hairs on integument beside scutum, those ' 

 posterior of the spiracular plates forming six pairs of longer 

 hair tufts each clump of which consists of five to ten hairs 

 E^ extremely indistinct; small, flat, situated on lateral mar- 

 gin at the level of coxa II. 



_ Spiracular plate subcircular, with two rows of large Poblets 

 encircling the aperture. Genital aperture situated at level of 

 anterior half of coxae II; outline broadly rounded anteriorly, 

 gradually converging laterally, bluntly angled posteriorly. 

 Genital grooves mildly undulating from aperture to anus, thence 

 widely divergent to spiracular plates. Preanal shield with 

 broadly to narrowly rounded anterior margin, sitTI^JtSTbetween 

 genital grooves from level of posterior half of coxae K to 

 anus, projecting beside anus as two tapering, narrowly pointed, 

 robust spurs (adanal shields ); accessor:/ shields absent. Hairs 

 on integument between genital grooves and coxae arranged iTTTEree 

 irregular rows extending from level of coxa I to spir^ular plate-
