Locality — Mill Creek Canyon, Utah. 



Found among dead leaves along the margin of a deeply 

 shaded ditch on south side of canyon, the accumulation of 

 leaves remaining very damp. 



Tingupa monterea sp. nov. 



Dorsum dark brown, a ruw of li^ht spots along each lateral margin, 

 a spot being on edge of each carina, and two other rows, more or less 

 evident, between this row and a pale median longitudinal line, the 

 inmost row being close to the latter. Venter pale. Feet white or yel- 

 lowish. Vertex of head dark brown, the other portions paler, yellowish. 

 Antennae brown, the articles pale distally. 



Segments bent first fonvard laterally and then again somewhat 

 caudad distally, esijccially in case of the posterior segments, the lateral 

 margins lying parallel with axis of body and not widely rounded or 

 cur\'ed in mcsad, the cephalo-latcral angles being in fact farther from 

 the body than the caudal in most segments; a little incurs^ed mesad 

 of each caudo-lateral angle, but less conspicuously so than in utahensis. 

 Segments, excepting first and last, wath a fine longitudinal keel along 

 mesal line. Carinae strongly developed and conspicuously extended 

 laterad and meeting together rather closely; finely denticulate. Gran- 

 ules or scales covering the segments densely in compact rows, their 

 conical apices projecting like minute spines, at times giving the appear- 

 ance of hirsutencss when viewed parallel to surface of segment, the whole 

 surface thus appearing finely spinescent. Setae long and clavate, 

 situated nearly as in utahensis. 



Anterior margin of first segment bow-shaped, being mesally moder- 

 ately curved ccphalad or convex, then each side concave, and lateraly 

 again convex. Not mesally furrowed or keeled. 



Anal segment as viewed from above witli the sides strongly converg- 

 ing caudad, incurved; widely truncate caudad; a large mesal tubercle 

 or elevation a little ccphalad of caudal margin. 



Anal valves appearing a little to exceed the scutum. Dorso-caudal 

 angle widely rounded, the free margin first curving e\'cn]y ventrad 

 and ccphalad and then running straight ccphalad parallel with the 

 dorsal margin. Dorsal and ventral edges elevate, the caudal not so. 



Head with vertex elevate, somewhat longitudinally rugose along 

 caudal border. Consjiicuously depressed on each side from base of 

 antenna caudad, the antenna being inserted in anterior end of the 

 furrow. Head densely hirsute with short setose hairs over entire sur- 

 face, sometimes appearing a little sparser on vertex. 



Eye area small; the ocelli numbering eight or thereabouts, arranged 

 in three series, counting from aljove toward antenna, 3, 3, 2; the side 

 of patch toward median and that toward dorsal surface subequal, each 

 consisting of three ocelli, and the two lying at right angles to each other 

 or nearly so. 



Antennae short, strongly clavate, the iifth article decidedly longer 

 and very much thicker than the third.
