the lateral margin there are about 24 tufts of 
these hairs, each tuft being composed of from 90 
to 100 hairs or more. 
The adult female, boiled in a solution of KOH, 
becomes transparent and the derm becomes soft. 
The antennae are light brown in color, and are 
composed of 11 joints, of which the last 1s the long- 
est, and are from 0.882 to 1.017 mm. in length. 
The different joints have the following lengths: 
(1), 104-217 (2), 91-110; (5), 9141-975 (4), 2992695 
(5), 52-69; (6), 71-845 (7 ), 71-84 54( 8) 78/88 
(9), 71-84; (10), 71-78 ; (11), 123-143 ; the appro- 
ximate formula being: 11, 1, 2, 348,6, 7, 0048 
(4, 5). All of the joints have long hairs. The two 
prominent eyes, corical in form and of a dark brown 
color, are situated on the inferior surface near the 
insertion of the antennae. The legs are long with 
the tarsus much curved, the following being the 
lengths of the joints of the first pair: coxa, 162; 
femur and trochanter, 435; tibia, 403 ; tarsus, 208, 
claw,96. The digitules, both those of the tarsus as well 
as those of the claw, are filiform. The entire surface 
of the body is covered with dark hairs, some short 
and others longer; and with numerous dark, com- 
pound glands, round, but sometimes not perfectly 
circular, in form, with a longitudinal diameter of 
13 microns and a transverse diameter of 12 mi- 
crons, with from 8 to 12 small orifices on the mar- 
gin and one orifice, elliptical in form, in the cen- 
tral portion. Near the lateral margin there are other 
elands of the same shape and color as the former, 
but larger, having a diameter of 19 microns, and 
having the central orifice circular in form. 
This variety differs from the typical form in 
the color of the dorsum, the larger size, especially 
of the ovisac, ard in the number of the dark hairs 
composing the marginal tufts of the body. 
Hab. First found in Soccorro, State of Sao 
Paulo, in 1916, it is, at the present time, located 
in many different sections cf the State, as Jundiahy,
