^. Céphalothorax. — Two nol very distinct eyes are present, removed i'roni 

 the front margin a distance a Uttle longer than their diameter. The céphalothorax 

 is slightly longer than broad behind ; two very prominent broad and dark trans- 

 verse stripes, which are almost straight in the middle and very indistinct laterally, 

 are found; the second tergite has an indistinct black longitudinal line. The skin 

 appears smooth, as the granulations are extremely small and low; rather long 

 obtuse hairs are abundant every-where and are along posterior margin of second 

 tergite placed in a transverse row, numbering 16. 



Abdomen. — The pale abdomen is moderately long and slender, twice as 

 long as broad and of almost equal breadth throughout; the tergal sclerites are very 

 indistinctly marked, and so is the longitudinal line, by which they with the excep- 

 tion of the first and the eleventh are divided; the muscular spots of the median 

 segments are very prominent. At least 14 hairs, which are rather long and obtuse, 

 placed along the hinder margin of each tergite, and a single lateral one is found 

 in front of the row on each side; no "tactile" hairs observed on terminal segment, 

 but they are probably missing. A pair of almost square black spots seen just in 

 front of vulva, probably of parasitic origin. 



Antennae. — The flagellum consists of three hairs, of which the anterior 

 bears three marginal teeth near to the tip. The lamina interior has three dentated 

 lobes and a long serrated spine; the serrula exterior with the basal longer tooth 

 enlarged towards the tip with a rounded flap and the terminal only squarely- 

 truncate like the preceding ones. The galea extends a little beyond the terminal 

 hair and bears at least 8 rather short distal branches. 



Palps (cf. pi. Ill, fig. 3 a). — The palps, which are a little longer than the body, 

 appear smooth, as the minute granules are scarcely perceptible, and are provided 

 with a number of long and obtuse hairs. The fingers bear in addition to these a 

 number of tactile hairs and sense-spots; the immovable one bears anteriorly and 

 dorsally two tactile hairs at the base, a single one near to the middle and one in 

 the distal third in addition to five spots in the basal third ; posteriorly and dorsally 

 it bears two basal tactile hairs, a single median and one nearer to the apex in addi- 

 tion to about seven sense-spots, placed between the two basal and the median 

 tactile hairs, and three beyond the latter; the movable finger bears two basal and 

 two more distal tactile hairs as well as five basally placed spots and four placed 

 in a longitudinal row near to the middle. The trochanter, which has a distinct 

 stalk, is 1'8 longer than broad and almost as broad as the femur; its anterior 

 margin is beyond stalk moderately convex, and so is the posterior; the dorsal sur- 

 face is slightly produced posteriorly, but no distinct tubercle is found. The femur, 

 which has a moderately long and distinct stalk, is 33 longer than broad, as long 

 as, but distinctly narrower than the tibia, and slightly widened out towards the tip; 

 the anterior margin is bej'ond the shallow notch of the stalk and the following 

 very short convexity almost straight to near the tip, where a slightly marked inci- 

 sion is found ; the posterior margin is moderately convex beyond the notch of the
