above ; patella without spines. Tibia with numerous elon- 

 gated spiniform setae on its ventral surface on the inner side, 

 more strongly developed in the basal half of the segment- 

 Tarsus without spines. Bulb small, process coiled up spirally 

 like a coi-kscrew ; there are two complete coils in addition to^ 

 the expanded and coiled basal portion which invests the bulb 

 and the narrowed distal portion which also has a strong spiral 

 twist ; the process reaches backwards as far as the basal 

 fourth of the tibia. 



Legs. — Tarsi unspined. Metatarsus I almost straight, 

 with three sti'ong apical spines below but no other spines 

 elsewhere, II also with three strong apical spines inferiorly, 

 and in addition with two or three on the inner surface and 

 two on the inferior surface posteriorly, III and IV numerously 

 spined. Tibia I stout, with three apical spines, none of which 

 are enlarged, also with six spines on the lower surface, of 

 which one distally situated is specially long and stout ; on the 

 anterior surface there is a row of three spines. Tibia II Avith 

 two or three apical spines inferiorly, three or four on the 

 lower surface, and two or three on the anterior sui'face supe- 

 riorly ; III with three apical spines below, four on the inferior 

 surface, two on the anterior surface, two dorsally, and two on 

 the posterior surface above, all of them being elongated ; IV 

 spined like III except that the dorsal sui'face has one or no 

 spines. Patella I without spines, II with one on the anterior 

 surface near the apex. III with two on the anterior surface 

 and one on the posterior surface, IV with one on the anterior 

 and one on the posterior surface. Femora armed above with 

 long setiform spines. Tarsi I and II scopulate to the base, 

 the scopula being entire, though not dense, and composed of 

 not very fine sette ; III and IV with a few scopular set^e, but 

 mostly the setae are long and subspiniform. Metatarsi I and 

 II thinly scopulate from the apex to near the base. Inferior 

 tarsal claw of anterior legs small but easily distinguishable. 



Sternal sigilla. — Third elongated, slightly less than its 

 own length distant from the sternal margin ; second sub- 

 marginal, first indistinct.
