264 COLE 
where there are on the dorsal border three nodular processes, each .1.med 
with one or more spines. 
Caudal segment very long and narrow (as long as proboscis), reaching 
a little beyond the middle of the second coxal joint of the posterior pair of 
legs; not marked off from trunk by a suture; directed somewhat down- 
ward; dorsal outline irregular and armed with a number of stout spines. 
Eye tubercle on the extreme anterior edge of the first trunk segment, 
moderately high, cylindrical; apex obtusely conical; eyes rather large, 
near the apex. 
Proboscis about as long as trunk to base of caudal segment, broadly 
elliptical, truncated at the extremity; dorsal border more convex than 
ventral as seen from side; without circular constriction, but with distinct 
longitudinal ribs. 
Chelifori considerably over half the length of the proboscis, stout; first 
joint reaching at least to middle of proboscis; tuberculated on the dorsal 
side, the tubercles armed with spines; second joint small, spherical, with 
1 or 2 spines. The chelifori are not parallel, being bowed outward in 
the middle. 
Palpi 8-jointed, overreaching the proboscis by nearly a third of its 
length; 7.2 and 7.4 long, others short; 7.2 somewhat longer than 7.4, 
proximal joints sparsely armed with a few rather long bristles; outer side 
of distal joints densely crowded with somewhat shorter ones. 
Ovigera considerably different in the two sexes. Oviger-of female 
about as long as palp; 7.1 short and broad; 7.2 issuing somewhat from 
the side of 7.1 ; 77.2 and 3 about equal, longer than 7.1; 77.4 and 5 about 
equal, longest; 77.6 to 10 successively smaller; 7.10 very small, rounded ; 
J/-7, 8, 9, 10 each armed with two denticulate spines; 77.5 and 6 with a 
few small bristles. Oviger of male nearly twice as long as that of female; 
j-t squarish; 7.2 longer than 7.1; both 77.1 and 2 broader than the suc- 
ceeding joints; 7.3 longer than 7.2; 7.4 and7.5 about equal, longer than 
7-3; J/-6 to 10 successively smaller, except 7.9, which is longer than 7.8; 
j.1o small and furnished with 2 denticulate spines, while 7.9 has at 
least 1; no denticulate spines could be discerned on the preceding 
joints. Joints 4 to 7 are armed with short, backwardly projecting spines 
in rows, while the succeeding joints have only 2 or 3 simple bristles 
each. ‘Terminal part of the oviger strongly incurved. 
External egg-masses rather small, globular. So far as observed, but 
one mass on each oviger. 
Legs relatively short, rather less than twice the length of the body; 
¢.2 not much longer than ¢.1 and ¢.3; ¢.1 with 3 tubercles on its dor- 
sodistal edge, each armed with spines; f rather shorter than coxal region,
