Tingupa j:^cn. no v. 



Antennae moderate, stron^'ly clavate distally, the fifth article 

 longest and much thickest, the third article second in length. 



Eyes well developed, consisting of numerous ocelli (8-20) arranged 

 subseriately. 



Gnathochilarium with ])romcntum well developed, triangular and 

 moderately low. 



Segments convexly arched dorsally and with well-developed carinae; 

 dorsum covered with densely arranged, laterally compressed and in 

 part conically pointed granules which extend to edges of carinae and 

 on caudal segments may project as spinous processes from carinae and 

 caudal margin of segments; setae moderate to long, clavate. 



Segments in adult 30. 



Type — Tingupa iitahensis sp. nov. 



Distribution — Two species known, the type from Utah and a 

 second form, Tingupa monterea, from California. 



The genus seems to have closest affinities with Pseudotremia. 



Tingupa utahensis sp. nov. 



General color brown, like that of the dead leaves among which it 

 lives; in some with finer mottlings of paler color on sides. Venter pale. 

 Legs from yellow or almost white to pale brown. Antennae brown, 

 the articles often paler at distal ends. 



Segments with major subdivision strongly granulate, the granules 

 or scales mostly somewhat compressed laterally or elongate antero- 

 posteriorly and closeh' arranged ; similar but narrower elevations clo.sely 

 covering the dorsal portion of the minor subsegments; scales larger on 

 posterior segments, series of larger ones with conical apices directed 

 caudad as acute spinous projections. Segments mesally well arched, 

 depressed immediately mesad of the carinae; entire dorsum weakly 

 longitudinally furrowed, the furrow divided by a fine, at times almost 

 obsolete keel. Segments bent cephalad laterally, the latero-cephalic 

 margin widely rounded, the acute anterior angles situated close to body. 

 Edges of carinae often appearing finely crcnate or dentate from the 

 presence of the projecting tubercles. All setae clavate, in proceeding 

 from first to posterior segments the two lateral setae on each side 

 become more extended in these directions, more strongly directed 

 caudad and cephalad respectively, in some being horizontally extended 

 in these directions. 



Vertex of head crossed by a low, rounded, median longitudinal 

 ridge; head also elevated along a line connecting the angles of the eyes; 

 transversely depressed between bases of antennae; conspicuously and 

 rather densely hirsute with moderately long stiff and erect hairs or setae, 



Gnathochilarium with lingual lamellae inclusive of processes three 

 and a fourth times as long as the greatest width. Stipites in length 

 about 4.7 or a little less times the greatest width. Promentimi moderate, 

 triangular in general outline, the basal margin broadly angularly
