Of medium size, slender; ceplialothorax widest near the 

 middle ; head partially divided hy a suture ; suture between 

 head and thorax distinct. Fifth and sixth thoracic segments 

 confluent; last thoracic segment produced laterodorsally, 

 hearing a small spine on each side. First abdominal seg- 

 ment unarmed but dilated laterally (not dilated in the male), 

 about as long as the remainder of the abdomen ; second 

 segment the shortest. Furcal rami hairy within. 



Antennas 25-segmented, reaching about to the tips of the 

 furca or slightly beyond. Male prehensile antenna moder- 

 ately swollen ; no special arn>ature on the last three seg- 

 ments ; segments 19 and 20 ankylosed, armed with a process 

 and a long seta; 21, 22, and 23 ankylosed, armed with two 

 long setcTB ; 24, with two long setae; and 25 with four long 

 setfe and a sense-club. Some of the antennal setae are 

 very minutely and sparsely hairy. 



First basal segment of right fifth foot of male (PI. XXVII., 

 Fig. 3) with large tubercle bearing a small spine on the pos- 

 terior aspect ; second basal segment as usual, about equal in 

 length to the first. First segment of the outer ramus sub- 

 quadrate, about as long as wide ; second segment about as 

 wide as the preceding and about one and a half times as 

 long, bearing on the inner margin, at the end of the proxi- 

 mal third, a small sharp-pointed cuticular projection. The 

 outer margin of this segment is almost straight to the begin- 

 ning of the distal third, where a sharp angle is made from 

 which springs the marginal spine. This spine is sharp, 

 slender, slightly curved, a little more than one third the 

 length of the segment. Terminal hook slender, about one 

 and a half times as long as the second segment ; not regularly
