about five irregular rows vithin genital grooves; two irregular 

 rows of widely spaced hairs between level of anus and posterior 

 margin. Ventral hook situated medially at posterior margin, on 

 caudal p rotrusio n-rr engorged specimens, articulated to body 

 basally, free from base to apex; twice as long as wide; anterior 

 margin straight; lateral margins parallel, posterior margin 

 bluntly rotmded. 



Legs- Coxae equidistant fro^ each other, almost contiguous; 

 outlilirHf e'^cT^xth rounded junctures, I and IV subtri angular, 

 n a^rill subquadrate; IV with a slight, indistinct blunt spur 

 posteriorly nei- the outer margui; I with a similar spur and a 

 Sightly rkLsed ridge at the apical juncture; coxa I without a 

 tinted dorsal projection visible from above. Free segments of 

 Sgs I and II sSbeiual, those of III slightly larger, those of 

 K^normously widened; segments partially joined gjving legs 

 a "beaded" appearance especially on legs III and IV; constric- 

 tion between first and second segment of each !«§ ^^g^^^J^ 

 narrow several conspicuous irregular rows of long pale hairs 

 o^dorsal I^face of each segment, forming tufts at apex of seg- 

 ^nts on-inand IV; an apical row of hairs encircling most se^ 

 ments a few lateral and ventral hairs also present. T^ 

 cSlike, Sth a narrowly pointed apex and small subapT^spur 

 veSrS^j^laws articulated dorsally and subapically, strongly 

 recurved around pads. 



FEMALE: Notably differing from male in that f^^e segments 

 of legs, while robust, are not greatly enlarged; also lacking a 

 ventral hook and conspicuous lateral hairs and haLr tufts. 

 Other characters recall those of the male. 



Length of engorged specimens reaching 6.6 ram.; width 3.9 

 nun.; color , when unengorged, yellowish. 



Capitulum: Basis capituli three times as wide as lo^g.
