 rangement. Male 5 to 5.5 mm. long by 225/* to 250/* wide. Esopha- 

 gus 1/5 of body length. Spicules not reduced in size as is the body, 

 but are of almost the same length as in the typical form, the right 

 being about 1.5 mm., the left 3 to 3.4 mm. long. Tail relatively 

 longer, 360/* to 400/*. Female 6.75 to 7.85 mm. long by 310/* wide.
