 about one-qnai'ter to one-third of the distance along the tarsus 

 of the first leg, or only to the end of metatarsus I ; patella con- 

 siderably longer than that of the first leg and a little longer 

 than tibia I.

 sides ; III with 0-1 spine anteriorly and 0-2 posteriorly ; 

 IV with 5-11 spines anteriorly but posteriorly. Meta-

 metatarsus I, with about 5-10 spines on the lower surfaces 

 besides those at the apex inferiorly ; tibia III with 1, 2' 

 or 3 spines near the distal edge superiorly on the anterior 

 side, and 3 or 4 on the posterior side superiorly. Patella I 

 without spines below, III with a discontinuous strip of about 

 5 or 6 short, weak spines on the anterior side, but no distal 

 patch of spinules above ; IV with an anterior patch of spinules 

 extending about three-fifths of the length of the anterior 

 side. Paired tarsal claws of fourth leg with a basal comb of 



2 or 3 teeth, or even only 1 may be well developed.
