side while tlie one ou tlie second segment is similar, but the one on the third 

 segment has fewer and less conspicuous bristles towards the sides, and these 

 bristles become less and less defined on the subsequent segments until on the 

 rather short seventh segment only inconspicuous bristly hairs occur ot which 

 however some on the middle part are black ; eighth segment very short and 

 bearing on the middle part (which is all that is visible) some short black 

 bristly hairs: sidemargms of the dorsal part arching oyer and partly en- 

 closing the belly. Belly dark ashy grey, bearmg long thm-haired pendent 

 not at all dense pale pubescence: hindmargms of the sixth and seventh 

 segments dropped but straight ; eighth segment shining black and produced 

 into a long rather narrow process which is quite as long as or longer than the 

 seventh segment, and which is rather densely clothed with bristly hairs ot 

 which a few strong ones are black but most (especially near the tip) are 

 tawny and conspicuous. Genitalia shining black, comparatively small but 

 with long claspers and with rather rigid but not at all dense and by no means 

 short pale brownish yellow pubescence almost all over, while a tew rather 

 lon"-er black hairs occur about the middle of the upper side of the claspers ; 

 claspers when seen sideways long, straight, and narrow, about five times 

 as long as broad, with the upper angle of the tip roimded off but the lower 

 ano-le slightly dropped, and when seen from above shelving off inwardly 

 without any notable dentation and enclosing a long pointed ovate space ; 

 lower lamellae curving up and hardly more than half as long as the claspers 



Legs black, rather shining, without any trace of reddish or orange, but the 

 coxai covered with ashy grey dust, and the femora and tibiae rather obscured 

 bv depressed short orange pubescence; anterior femora rather thickened 

 Pubescence (as distinguished from bristles or bristly hairs) mainly short and 

 depressed and almost entirely pale brownish yellow all over and so con- 

 spicuous as to give the legs a greyish black appearance, but the front cox^e 

 have abundant rather coarse drooping yellow pubescence on all the tront 

 part and the femora long outstanding yellowish pubescence posteriorly and 

 ventrally, while some long sparse black postero-dorsal pubescence occui;s 

 on the front femora ; front tibiae with a long mainly blackish ciliation beneath 

 and a rather long yellowish postero-ventral ciliation, both these ciliations 

 being rather sparse, but quite as long as the two long postero-ventral 

 bristles • middle tibiai with a mixed (but mainly yellow) ciliation beneath ; 

 a tiny depressed felt-like reddish orange pubescence covers most ot the 

 inner side of the front and hind tibise and the underside of the basal 

 ioint of the front and hind tarsi. Bristles practically all black ; Iront 

 femora with only two or three small subapical bristles as none ot tjie 

 postero-dorsal hairs are strong enough to be called bristles ; front tibiae 

 with one rather small dorsal and one or two smaller slightly antero- 

 dorsal bristles close together near the base, about four more smal 

 dorsal bristles at or after the middle, two others slightly postero-dorsal, 

 and two long postero-ventral near the middle with a shorter one near the tip ; 

 middle femora with two anterior bristles (one at one-third and the other at 

 two-thirds), one antero-ventral about the middle preceded by about three 

 longish hairs, and about three subapical (one small antero- and two rather 

 larler postero-dorsal) : middle tibiae with two rather small dorsal bristles 

 (one at and one after the middle), two larger antero-ventral nearly level with 

 the dorsal two, four posterior of which the uppermost (at one-third) and the 

 lowermost (at two-thirds) are longer than the other two, one rather long 

 postero-ventral after the middle with a long black hair at the middle, and two 

 or three rather long thin white anterior hairs; hind femora with three or 

 four antero-dorsal bristles (equidistant and not near the base or tip), three 

 antero-ventral (two rather small ones near the middle and one a little lower 

 down), one inconspicuous ventral near the middle, and three or four subapical 

 (one or two small antero- and two longer postero-dorsal); hmd tibiai with 

 two slightly postero-dorsal bristles (one at a quarter and one at a halt) ot 

 which the lower and stronger one is orange, one dorsal near the base, two or 

 three rather antero-dorsal (one near one-third and the other near two-thirds 

 with sometimes a smaller one at the middle), and two antero-ventral_ (one at 

 a half and one at three-quarters); all the tibiae and the four basal joints ot 

 aU the tarsi with the usual apical circlets of strong black bristles. PiUvilli
