S ? . Antenna rather shorter than in dolU, strongly narrowed basad, widened 

 distall}', very distinctly club-shaped in ?. Spines of foreleg shorter and less stout 

 than in dolli, spurs of mid- and hindtibia a little longer. Paronychinm with a short 

 but distinct lobe. Palpus not prominent. 



(S. Tenth abdominal tergite slender, long, gently curved, with almost parallel 

 sides, abruptly narrowed to a point (PI. XXVIII. f. 11, a) ; lobe of sternite 

 (PI. XXVIII. f. 11, b) rather deeply sinuate, the two halves sbarjily pointed. 

 Clasper (PI. XXXVIII. f 7) dilated dorsad in middle, thence strongly narrowed 

 to end, the edge irregularly undulate ; harpe with a single, almost flat, broad 

 ])rocess, heavily but irregularly dentate at the distal edge, the teeth long, sharp, 

 often bearing a smaller tooth, the upper edge of the harpe continuous with the 

 broad subdorsal fold of the clasper and, like the fold, clothed with long bristles. 

 Penis-sheath (PL XXVIII. f. 53) similar to that of vancoumrensis, but the apical 

 process much broader proximally. 



?. Vaginal ])late (PI. XX. f. 'J2) reminding one to a certain extent of that of 

 P. le/eburei (PI. XX. f. 1) ; mouth of vagina subapical, behind it there is an 

 ovate, not much raised, tubercle ; the edge of the cavity is rugose and bears, like 

 the lateral part of the plate, dispersed long slender scales, which are situated on 

 granules ; the plate is transverse, with the ventro-lateral edges somewhat prominent, 

 being distinctly raised above the level of the membrane connecting the plate with 

 the seventh sternite ; on this membrane there is on each side a chitinised half-ring, 

 more or less interrupted laterally.

 ? . Tongue short and weak. Palpus slender, rough-haired. Antenna thickened

 Fore- and midtibiae with very few spines at the end. Paronychium without lobes.
