of which is recurved. Last dorsal segment trapezoidal, strongly 

 narrowed and sloping, smooth, the sides finely denticulated. Last 

 ventral segment transverse. Pygidium hardly discernible. Forceps 

 with branches rounded, nearly contiguous at the base, slender, 

 strongly undulating in a vertical plane ; in the basal half they 

 are strongly curved upwards and meet about the middle ; then 

 they abruptly become horizontal ; from this angle they diverge 

 and gradually thicken down to two-thirds of their length ; here 

 they are curved in a short oval and taper to the sharp hooked 

 points which almost meet. $ unknown.
