ruy considerations of the shape ia geueral of Glycyphagus on page 315. 

 Posteriorly the edge is a little excavated and here the posterior 

 euds of the anal covers are slightly visible. — Dorsal side (Fig. 37) 

 provided with 6 transverse rows of 4 hairs each, most probably 

 correspouding to 6 seguients. Of the first row the inner pair is 

 placed far forward, close together, so that their basal chitinous 

 rings touch each other, and in front of the rudimental dorsal shield 

 which extends backward beyond the second transverse row. The 

 outer pair on a level with the distal ends of the trochanteres II. — 

 The second row is nearly straight, if any, curved forward, and 

 close behind trochanteres II. — The third row slightly before the 

 middle of the body-length, a little curved forward. The outer pair 

 almost lateral, the inner pair wide apart. — The fourth row is 

 straight; the outer pair is stiff, bristle-like and close to the edge; 

 the inner pair is flexible and compared with domestieus and cada- 

 verum wide apart. — These 4 rows consists of hairs which are 

 shorter than the greatest width of the creature. — The fifth row 

 a little curved forward; the inner and outer pair close together, 

 near the edge. — The sixth row quite posteriorly, a little curved 

 backward. — These two rows consists of hairs which equal or 

 even are longer than the length of the body. — On the posterior 

 edge again one pair of long hairs. 



Ventral side (Fig. 38). A lateral pair on a level with coxae III, 

 hairy and short, shorter than the front-hairs. Quite posteriorly 5 

 pair of hairy hairs, of which the second, counted from the anus, 

 is the shortest, and the third one the longest. — Genital aperture 

 srnall, oval, limited anteriorly by a chitinous crescent, with a 

 median mucro in front, flanked by 2 pairs of minute sniooth hairs 

 anteriorly, and situated between coxae III. — Anal aperture long, 

 shut by two long covers, flanked anteriorly by a pair of srnall, 

 fine stnooth hairs. — Moreover close to coxae IV a pair of such hairs. 



Pseudostigma (Fig. 39) on the usual place, long ; pseudostigmatic 

 organ fine, long, scarcely distally bind, on the sides provided with 

 ramificate beards, placed so as if they radiate from a centre.
