rather long and rather stout; tho.se of the seventh pair are rather short 

 and slender. 



The abdomen is covered at the base, is more than one and a half 

 times longer than wide (8:5), and is much shorter than the thorax with 

 the head (J:: 3). The first five segments gradually increase a little in 

 length. The sides of the first five segments are a little roundly dilated, 

 excavate, or emarginate; the first and second segments are obliquely 

 truncated; the third, fourth, and fifth segments are gradualh" more 

 deeply and more angularly emarginate. 



The terminal segment of the abdomen is cordate, impi-essed at the 

 base, obscurely carinated, much wider than long (6:5), manifestly 

 longer than the other segments of the abdomen taken together (10:9). 

 The uropoda are manifestly longer than the terminal abdominal seg- 

 ment (1>: 8); the inner branch is very much shorter and scarcely wider 

 than the exterior branch, becoming narrower back of the middle, sub- 

 laminar, scarcely surpassing the apex of the last segment; the exterior 

 branch is narrow, sickle-shaped. 



Length i^l.5 mm.
