no. 3630 CLEPTORIA — HOFFMAN 13 



within scapuloral arc. Peritremata distinct and elevated above ad- 

 joining surface of paranota even on second and third segments. Pores 

 large and distinct, set near middle of peritreme, opening dorsolaterad. 

 Metatergites medially smooth but becoming slightly coriaceous near 

 base of paranota; prozonites smooth, slightly elevated above level of 

 metatergites at middorsal region but the two subsegments meeting 

 at a common level further laterad and ventrad. Posterior edges of 

 paranota not margined. 



Paranota of segments 16-18 distinctly acute triangular in shape, 

 somewhat more coriaceous and with peritremata relatively more 

 elevated than on preceeding segments. Paranota of segment 19 in the 

 form of small oblong-ovoid lobes. 



Epiproct of usual subtriangular outline, dorsally convex and trans- 

 versely wrinkled, ventrally concave; with usual two transverse whorls 

 of setae and four terminal setae. Paraprocts nearly flat, smooth except 

 for few oblique grooves on outer basal quadrants, mesial margins 

 very distinct and strongly elevated. Hypoproct broad, semicircular 

 in outline, paramedian setal sockets not set on raised tubercules and 

 slightly removed from margins, no median projection formed. 



Pleural surfaces mostly smooth except for distinctive oblique grooves 

 extending caudoventrad toward legs from anterior end of paranota. 

 Caudal edge of metazonite set off by a fine but distinct elevated mar- 

 ginal ridge, this becoming more distinct dorsally. Vertical low ridge 

 above second legpair of each segment, sometimes with a few vaguely 

 defined tubercules. Stricture broad, distinct, and well defined down 

 sides, its surface very finely granular in contrast to smooth glossy 

 texture of prozonite; furrow narrows down to broad suture across 

 sternal region but with prozonite definitely elevated and slightly over- 

 hanging suture line. 



Sternal surfaces distinctly but gradually elevated caudad behind 

 stricture, almost horizontal between legs or even shallowly depressed, 

 glabrous except for small field of setae near base of each coxa. No 

 trace of production into subcoxal spurs or angles. 



Legs fairly long (7.5 mm) and slender, distal end of femora visible 

 beyond paranota when extended and viewed from above; coxae 

 posterior to gonopods with very small ventral spines, these increasing 

 in size caudally; prefemora with short acute spines. Podomeres be- 

 coming increasingly setose from nearly glabrous femur, tarsus with 

 numerous ordinary setae and terminal group of larger and longer 

 setae around base of pretarsus. Latter of normal size and shape for 

 family, somewhat bisinuate and distinctly compressed, with large 

 median and two smaller paramedian dorsal carinae. Lengths of 

 podomeres in decreasing order: 3-6-2-5-4-1.
