Diagnosis: Distinguished from all other species in the genus by 

 the small size, by the simple but broad flat form of the telopodite of 

 the male gonopod, and by the fact that the arc is completed quite 

 distant from the base of the telopodite. 



Description: Length of male holotype, 39 mm.; width, 10 mm.; 

 length of other male specimen, 36 mm.; width, 10 mm. 



Collum ellipsoidal, edges gently curved, ends of paranota rounded ; 

 paranotal swellings extremely weak; moderately strong ridges extend- 

 ing from ends of paranota along their cephalic edges to points at level 

 of their bases. 



Paranotal swellings extremely weak on segment 2, much more 

 evident on segment 3 and all succeeding segments, Paranota of mid- 

 body segments rather square, 9th and succeeding segments with the 

 caudolateral corner produced caudad very slightly. 



Sternmn of 3d pair of legs with usual processes; sternum of 4th legs 

 with pah of very small, subconical processes; sterna of 5th and 6th 

 legs smooth. 



Coxal armature very weak. 



Male gonopods of medium size (about 2.02 mm. in telopodite arc 

 length and 1.13 mm. in arc width); curved mesiad, then dorsad, then 

 laterad, entire arc being completed quite distant from base of telo- 

 podite; telopodite blade rather broad and flat, distal end tapering to 

 a subacute point; cingulum located just distal of point of initial mesial 

 curvature; precingular portion longer than postcingular portion. 

 Prefemoral spine moderate. 



Color dark brown above with paranota entirely yeUow except for a 

 very small bit of mesocephalic portion ; no median light spot on collum ; 

 antennae dark brown; underparts and legs very light brown.
