Telopodite of gonopod short, massive, at most somewhat twisted, the gonopods 

 in situ occasionally overlapping each other but never distinctly interlocked; 

 dorsum blackish with markings of red or yellow 2 



2. Gonopod with an acute, distinct prefemoral process 3 



Gonopod without trace of prefemoral process 4 



3. Prefemur exceptionally robust and massive in form; seminal groove running 



along middle of telopodite distally, terminating on a prominent convex 

 retrorse solenomerite (fig. 14), subterminal lobe of telopodite prominent, 

 rounded, abruptly reflexed toward the flexure of the seminal groove.

Prefemur of normal dimension; seminal groove running along the outer edge 



of the telopodite arc for a short distance, terminating on a small, flat, 



scarcely distinguishable solenomerite (fig. 6) ; subterminal lobe of telopodite 



distinct but not reflexed macra Chamberlin, p. 7 



4. Solenomerite short, broad, distinctly convex, the seminal groove paralleled by 



numerous fine but distinct striations rileyi Bollman, p. 11 



Solenomerite elongate, relatively slender, flat and laminate.

Type-specimens. — Male holotype and female paratype, RVC, from 

 Taylors, Greenville County, S.C., collected by R. V. Chamberlin, 

 Aug. 5, 1910. 



Diagnosis. — A relatively small member of the genus, paranotal 

 spots reddish-pink (yellow), gonopod slender without prominent 

 flange on medial face, seminal groove forming two right-angle turns, 

 solenomerite small, short, not convexly elevated. 



Description of holotype. — Body large, robust; length 50 mm, 

 greatest width 12.0 mm; W/L ratio 24 percent; sides of body sub- 

 parallel, segments 5-15 of approximately full width. Dorsum arched, 

 paranota broad and interrupting slope of middorsum. 



Head smooth and polished, slightly convex, facial surface nearly 

 flat, epicranial suture distinct; genae convex, not margined, with only 

 very faint median impressions; labral setae about 18, clypeal setae 

 about 22, series extended onto lower end of genal margin. Vertigial, 

 interantennal, and frontal setae not detected and presumably absent. 

 Interantennal isthmus rather broad (25 percent of antennal length). 



Antennae fairly long (7.5 mm) and slender, extending caudad to 

 posterior edge of third segment. Article 1 subglobose with a few long 

 setae on dorsal side, articles 2-6 subequal in size and shape, article 7 

 short, subcorneal, with four terminal sensory cones. 



Collum large and broad, extending about 0.5 mm beyond ends of 

 following tergite on each side, its surface smooth and polished, anterior
