are ol' alniosl equal bretullh, hut llie second and the third ones at least are distinclly 

 shorter than the rest, and the hindmost margin of these two as well as of the 

 first is distinctly curved backwards in the middle. The tergiles are granular all 

 over with more or less round granules, while the longitudinal line is striated; they 

 bear behind the hindmost margins of the indistinct sclerile transverse rows of 

 rather long, but distinctly clavale hairs; the number of these hairs is on each 

 tergile about 10 and a single one is placed laterally in front of the row in median 

 tergiles. The eleventh slernite bears a pair of not very long "tactile' hairs. 



Antennae (PI. IV, figs. 1 a-b). — The flagellam seems only to consist of three 

 hairs, of which the anterior has seven marginal teeth. The lamina interior has 

 three dentated lobes and a rather long terminal spine with five teeth; the serrula 

 exterior consists of about 20 teeth, of which the basal is slightly enlarged towards 

 end (fig. 1 a). The galea extends only slightly beyond the terminal hair and bears 

 about five short terminal teeth (fig. 1 b). 



Maxillae. — The maxillae are smooth in the middle, but slightly granular 

 laterally. 



Palps (PI. IV, fig. 1 c). — The palps are almost as long as the body and have 

 their three proximal joints distinctly granular with rounded but rather flat granules 

 laterally and dorsally; the ventral surfaces of these joints as well as of the hand 

 are less distinctly granular, and the fingers are smooth or almost so. The hairs, 

 at least those of the proximal joints, are rather long and distinctly clavate, though 

 in a less degree tlian those of the abdomen ; the hairs of the tibia are more slender 

 than those of the femora, but less so than those of the hand; the fingers bear 

 tactile hairs in addition to the usual pointed and almost simple hairs. Immovable 

 finger hears anteriorly and dorsally two basal and one(?) more median tactile hairs 

 in addition to three basal sense-spots; posteriorly it has two basal hairs, one more 

 median and one near to the tip, besides a few basally placed sense-spots. The 

 movable finger bears anteriorly at least one sense-spot, and posteriorly three ('.') tactile 

 hairs in a longitudinal row and rather apart from each othei- in addition to a few 

 basally placed sense-spots. The trochanter, which has a rather long, but not well 

 defined stalk, is 17 longer than broad; its anterior surface is beyond stalk evenly 

 and moderately convex and its posterior slightly rounded; the dorsal surface is 

 slightly produced posteriorly. The femur, which has a very short and fairly well 

 marked stalk, is about 22 longer than broad and a little longer, but narrower 

 than the tibia, anteriorly beyond stalk almost straight, as the proximal convexity 

 and distal concavity are only slightly pronounced; the posterior margin is rather 

 abruptly convex beyond stalk, then almost straight and distally slightly convex 

 again. The tibia, which is 35 times longer than the thick and well defined 

 stalk, is 19 longer than broad; anteriorly it is beyond the very deep notch of the 

 stalk, strongly convex; the posterior margin is beyond the rather prominent con- 

 dylus and the basal elevation, which is well defined behind by a low incision, 

 first moderately convex and then more distinctly so. The hand, which is a little
