In addition to the type and allotype we have before us a para- 
typic male from the type locality, this specimen being measured 
above. The three specimens show no noteworthy features of 
variation, excepting in the number of spines on the ventro-cepha- 
lic margins of the femora. Those on the cephalic femora range 
from one to three, on the median femora from two to three, and 
on the caudal femora from four to six.

These specimens have lost all of their original coloration from 
alcoholic immersion, and are also distinctly shorter in body length 
than the originally measured material, but the individual parts 
agree very well in dimensions. The reduction of body length is 
doubtless due to shrinkage in drying, or the Redtenbacher 
material was abnormally distended.
