The mesotibiae are feebly compressed and the external surface is 

 ridge-like, and the tarsal grooves are evident, although more or less 

 feeble and muricate. 



The metatibi^e are flattened externally, obsoletely grooved, and 

 muricate. Both the meso- and metatibise are more or less carinate 

 in basal third externally. 



The tarsi are quite stout. 



The protarsi are scarcely one-third of their length shorter than a 

 mesotarsus. Joints tAvo, three, and four are subequal, just a little 

 wider than long, and together about equal to the fifth; the first is a 

 little longer than wide. 



The mesotarsi are about one-seventh of their length shorter than a 

 metatarsus. Joints two, three, and four are subequal, a little longer 

 than wide, and together just the least longer than the fifth; the first 

 is about one-half longer than wide. 



The metatarsi are scarcely one-half as long as a metatibia. Joints 

 two and three are subequal, distinctly longer than wide, and together 

 scarcely as long as the fourth; the latter is a little longer than the 

 first.
