terior pair which differ in ending in three processes instead of 

 in two, a slender spinous process appearing between the two 

 major ones which are alone present in P. furcifer, etc. 



Paraiulus furcifer 1 larj^cr var. sinampus, new. 



A row of small dark, inconspicuous dots along each side toward 

 dorsum, the dorsum above and between the two rows of dots light yel- 

 lowish brown, the sides below the dots distinctly darker, l^rown; each 

 segment with a dark blackish brown to black annulus which is broadest 

 across dorsum and narrows ventrad down each side; a narrower and rath- 

 er less deeply colored dark line along junctions of adjacent segments 

 which below disa}»]K'ars in the brown of the sides. A fine median dor.sal 

 dark line, on each .side of which on each segment is a yellowish white 

 line which does not extend laterad as far as the line of dark dots. First 

 dorsal jjlate dark brown or chestnut, especially the caudal border pale. 

 Penult and antepenult segments and the i^roximal portion of anal scu- 

 tum pale. \'enter pale. Legs medium brown. Vertex of head black, 

 the dark area extending ventrad between the antennae ; clypeal and later- 

 al regions of head pale. Antennae black or blackish. 



Body in the not fully adult male being described somewhat con- 

 stricted caudad of head, the first segment narrower than the second and 

 subsequent ones. 



First segment moderate; the lateral margins running oblicjuely 

 from caudal edge of head ventro-caudad to junction with posterior mar- 

 gin which cur\-es forward to angle. Lower lateral portion of jjlates 

 marked with two distinct striae which extend forward a short distance 

 from the caudal margin, in addition to the line margining the lateral 

 edge. Caudal border not margined, the anterior one obscurely so. 



Second segment with the lower lateral border extended ventrad 

 mesally in an acute angle of which the cephalic side is much the longer. 

 Deeply striate beneath, above somewhat roughened, as on subsequent 

 segments. 



Spiracles more or less elongate longitudinally, moderate, separated 

 from the transverse suture which is somewhat weakh' quadrately emar- 

 ginate o])]50site them. 



Anal ]:)late not roughened. Distal portion subtriangular, straight, 

 ajjicall)' somewhat rounded. Extending a little beyond the anal valves. 



Anal valves with mesal edges narrowly margined, not elevate. 

 Each valve with a longitudinal im])ressi()n ectad of its middle. 



Anal scale subtriangular, the caudal angle acute, not at all rounded. 



Legs rather long. Dorsally glabrous. Inner surface with longi- 

 tudinal series of stout, siiinescent setae. 



Head roughened with areolations formed b\' a network of imjircssed 

 lines. A bow-shaped line impressed between inner angles of the two 

 eye areas, the line angularly bent dorsad at middle where it is joined 

 by the median longitudinal HnC of the vertex. A wide, shallow, median 

 dei)ressi(m from frontal region to clypeus which is dec]iest ventrad. 

 Head furrowed l)elow eye area on each side from base of antenna toward 

 gena and then dorsad along the border of the head.
