First Legs. — Rather slender (fig. 3 a), not fully ^/y as 

 long as the body. Coxa terminates a little behind the outer 

 angle of the mandible. Femur is a little longer than tibia. 

 Foot about ^J5 as long as tibia, scarcely ten and a half times 

 longer than deep, deepest at the end of metatarsus (fig. 3 c); 

 second metatarsal joint somewhat shortor than the sum of 

 the five proximal tarsal joints; terminal joint as long as the 

 sum of the three proximal tarsal joints, and slightly more 

 than half as long as the whole metatarsus. 



Fourth Leg's. — Moderately robust, a little longer than 

 the body. Femur not fully two and a half times longer than 

 deep (fig. 3 d). 



Flagellum. — Nearly five times longer than deep, three- 

 jointed (fig. 3e); terminal joint a little less than ^/ö of the 

 length of flagellum. Setse wanting. 



Measurements. — Body 4.i mm.; palps 2. o mm.; first legs 

 5.3 mm.; fourth legs 4. .5 mm. 



Colour. — Body and appendages brownish, on the an-

 reddish tint; upper surface of abdomen and the posterior 

 femora rather dark brownish green; lower surface of body and 

 the distal part of the legs moderately light. 



Diifereiices according to Age. — Of the smallest specimen 

 the body measm^es 3. o mm., first legs 3.6 mm.; these legs are 

 thus proportionately somewhat shorter than in the adult.

 similar to those of the adult ; foot (fig. 3 f ) scarcely nine 

 times longer than deep; second metatarsal joint conspicuously 

 longer than the sum. of the four proximal tarsal joints; ter- 

 minal joint slightly longer than the sum of the three proximal 

 tarsal joints and only a little less than -/s as long as the 

 whole metatarsus. Femur of fourth legs very slightly deeper 

 in proportion to length than in the adult. (Flagellum wanting).
