lotkorax. Abdomen with a row of 6 hairs in the front margin, 

 of which the central pair is the longest, however shorter than 

 those of the cephalothorax. Further there is a row of 6 rninute 

 hairs on the posterior margin. Finally 2 pairs of hairs on the 

 posterior half of the abdomen, the length of which equals those 

 of the central hairs of the front margin. 



Ventral side (Fig. 15). Pseudocapitulum oval, with 4 hairs, of 

 which the inner pair is longer than the capitulum. Coxae I and 

 II fused to a sternal plate ; sternum long ; epimera I absent ; 

 epimera II gently bowed backward, not joiniug the sternum, nor 

 each other. Coxae III and IV fused to a ventral plate. Epimera III 

 short, joining the chitinous bar which frames the front of the 

 ventral plate. Epimera IV bending inward and theu suddenly for- 

 ward, parallel to each other, not joining each other, nor the 

 epimera III; on their proximal end a minute hair. Between the 

 coxae IV a free longitudiual cbitinous bar. Behind this bar the 

 genital opening, in which I could not discern suckers. This aperture 

 is flanked with a hair and a sucker on each side. Behind the 

 genital aperture the small sucker plate. This is almost quadrangular, 

 with rounded angles, with 8 suckers arranged 2, 4, 2; the central 

 suckers slightly larger than the others, and with two central points. 

 The posterior margin of the sucker plate is distant from the 

 posterior margin of the body nearly the length of the sucker- 

 plate. Three oval, transparent spaces are moreover visible behind 

 and a little aside of the sucker-plate. On the sufflexed margin 

 of the dorsal plate, near the shoulders, a fine hair; on the posterior 

 margin of the body a pair of ditto. 



Legs. All the legs end in a minute claw, and legs IV moreover 

 in a hair nearly as long as the body. Genu I and II dorsal ly 

 and distally with a tactile hair; tibia I and II ditto; tarsus I and 

 II dorsally with a long olfactoric hair. All the tarsi ventrally with 

 4 lanceolate hairs.
