 inal segment with dense row of marginals; genital 

 segment red, white-pruinose below, the orifice slit- 

 like, two spiracles in each lateral sclerite, the outer 

 separated by more than its own width from the mar- 

 gin (in other sj^ecies one of them is generally at the 

 outer edge of the sclerite if visible at all) ; legs not 

 villous, middle tibia with two bristles on outer side. 

 Otherwise as in male.

 very showy, covering bucca and back of head, except 

 a single row of black hairs behind eye. Third abdom-

 accessory plate hardly excised, the thin hind edge 

 continued to a point ; anterior clasper ordinary, rather 

 long and slender, straight near tip ; fifth sternite with 

 rather striking black brushes. Metatarsi of hind and

 except the sharply-defined dark occiput; third ab-
