NEW AMERICAN CRYPTOPID GENUS — CRABILL 15 



Polster, Dreieck, and Zapfenstiick, are not. The following new 

 terms are intended to replace their original German counterparts, 

 which are given in parentheses, the new terms being for the most part 

 closely synonymous ; since teeth and sickle bristles are self-explanatory 

 in whatever language they are rendered, they are given below in 

 English and German: a^pulvUlus (Polster); b = teeth (Beisszahne) ; 

 c=siclde bristles (Sickelborsten) ; d=lamina dentifera (Zahnstiick) ; 

 e=lamina triangularis (Dreieck); f==manubrium (Schaft) ; g=lamina 

 manubrii (Schaftplatte) ; h=^lamina condylifera (Zapfenstiick); 

 i=condylus or condyle (Drehzapf en) . 



6. Heretofore by "chitin-lines" authors have referred to ventral 

 thin pigmented sutures or ridges, one passing anteriorly toward the 

 condyle on each side of the prosternura, but here I refer to a new char- 

 acter dependent upon their dorsal homologues. The suture ectal to 

 each chitin-line is usually called the coxoplem-al suture, a confusing 

 designation since the coxopleuron is at the rear of the body. To avoid 

 ambiguity and confusion, I propose a surrogate expression — pleuro- 

 prosternal suture.
