Description. — Female cephalothorax (fig. 576) ovoid, consisting 

 of cephalon and first 4 thoracic segments. Frontal region distinct, 

 approximately one-twelfth the total length of cephalothorax, with 

 fine membrane along anterior margin. Lunules (fig. 58a) large though 

 finely membranous, extending posteriorly, on ventral surface, almost 

 to junction of frontal region and remaining cephalothorax. Lateral 

 margins of cephalothorax smooth, slightly irregular, with slight 

 indentation in anterior third, with fine membrane extending later- 

 ally. Posterior sinus (fig. 57c) narrow, irregularly V-shaped, with 

 finely frilled membrane on outer margin. Posterior median cepha- 

 lothoracic region projecting well past posterior lateral regions, with 

 broad, lappet-like projection extending from posterior surface over 

 anterior end of free fourth pedigerous segment. Major dorsal cepha- 

 lothoracic grooves forming irregular H, posterior legs and crossbar of 

 H continuous. Ocular region distinct, in anterior third of cepha- 

 lothorax. 



Female free foiu'th pedigerous segment distinctly separable from 

 cephalothorax, indistinctly separable from genital segment; segment 

 angled sharply toward anterior end from region of fourth leg attach- 

 ment, in posterior part of segment. Genital segment (fig. 57d) 

 subtriangular, distended by eggs in figured female, posterior surface 

 overlapping anterior end of abdomen dorsally. Fifth legs (fig. 57g)
