femora armed with about fourteen small spines, 3, 3, 2 in three 

 longitudinal rows on the inner surface and 3, 3 in two rows on 

 the external half of the lower surface ; the femoral process 

 aimed with from four to ten small spines; no tarsal spur, claw 

 basally spurred. The rest of the legs long and slender, with a 

 tarsal spur. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length, 163, of antenna, 

 37, of anal leg, 41 ; width of head, 10-5, length, 10; width of 

 twelfth tergite, 14, of twenty -first, 8." 



The only individual variations worth noticing ate the follow- 

 ing. With the large specimens, the six proximal antennal 

 joints, and in one case the basal half of the seventh are naked 

 whereas Pocock's type is said to have only five smooth antennal 

 segments. The spine armature seems to vary considerably, on 

 one of the large specimens the femora bore 2,3 or 3,3 on its 

 ventral-outer edge, 2,2,2 or 2,3,2 on the inner surface ; the other 

 large specimen had five or six spines on the ventral-outer edge 

 and sixteen or nineteen irregularly spread on the inner surface ; 

 while on a young specimen were observed 3,3 (or 6 irregular) on 

 the ventral-outer edge and 2,3,2 (or seven irregular) on the inner 

 surface.
