ART. 29 



NEW TEOMBICULA FROM PANAMA — EWING 



Tarsal claws all simple, those of the first legs quite small and sub- 

 equal, those of the other legs unequal, the posterior claw being larger 

 than the anterior. Length, 1.12 mm; width, 0.7 mm. 



Type locality. — Chilibrillo Caves, Panama. 



Type 5ZzV/e.— U.S.N.M. no. 1064. 



Remarks. — Described from two males and one female cleared in 

 potassium hydroxide and stained with acid fuchsin. They were 

 taken from the rock walls of caves at the type locality, by L. H. 

 Dunn. This species is most nearly related to T. coarcfata Berlese, 

 from which it may be differentiated by having the pseudostigmatic 

 area angulate laterally instead of rounded.
