and reduced, occupying the notch between the tergite and pleurite, 
fleshy and bearing a few long hairs at the tip; inner pleural appendage 
elongate, sHghtly curved, with numerous long hairs on the outer 
face. Ninth sternite with the dorso-caudal angle produced inward

side on the middle line beneath. The gonapophyses are powerful 
and divaricated, of the same structure as in T. morrisoni. Eighth 
sternite extensive, the caudal margin indistinctly trilobed, the 
median area broadly convex and bearing a dense fringe of long reddish
