 median eye ; the front lateral eyes

 with black on the inner angle ; 

 they are poised obliquely and are 

 separated from each other by a 

 space equal to three times their 

 longitudinal diameter; the space intervening between the

 diameter of one of the inner eyes of that series ; lateral eyes of 

 posterior row of equal size to their anterior lateral neighbours, 

 obliquely poised, and heavily margined with black on the inner

 of its outer angle, two on the underside of the inner angle, and 

 three distally at the inner angle; 

 outer angles of tibia iii. armed 

 with three spines and distally 

 with four ; tibia iv. has several 

 bristle-like spines distributed 

 over the surface, the outer and 

 inner angles, and distally on the
