tion more than one half of their diameter. Hairs. Outside 

 of epimera I (near epimera II) a pair of minute hairs ; inside 

 of epimera III a pair of ditto ; inside of epimera IV a pair 

 of ditto; behind the genital opening a curve row of 4 ditto; 

 between the anus and the anal suckers a pair of ditto. 

 Mandibles, maxillae and legs normal. 

 Female (Fig. 10). Length 400—450 m. Colour 

 brown. Shape like that of Ft. gamhettae. Texture smooth 

 in the shields, wrinkled in th(i week parts. 



Dorsal side (Fig. 10). The margin of the 

 prosoma is well chitiuized and dark coloured. The space 

 within this margin is occupied by the anterior dorsal shield, 

 except behind trochanteres II. This shield is longer than wide. 

 Behind the trochanteres II and the anterior shield there is a 

 rather narrow baud of unprotected skin. The lateral shields 

 and the posterior one moreover occupy the remainder dorsum, 

 except two rather narrow bands between these three shields. 

 Excretory openings on a level with genu IV. Nephridia 

 dark- coloured. Hairs. On the anterior shield near the 

 trochanteres II a pair of hairs, shorter than the width of the 

 shield. Inside of these hairs a pair of minute hairs. On the 

 lateral shields a pair of minute hairs near the anterior edge, 

 and quite laterally, a little before trochanteres III the long 

 lateral hair (which has become dorsal) as long as the shield 

 itself. On the posterior dorsal shield the following minute 

 hairs : one pair near the anterior edge ; one pair a little behind 

 the level of the lateral hairs ; one pair on a level with the 

 proximal end of femora III and near the edge ; one pair near 

 the edge a litte more backward; one pair outside of the nephri- 

 dial openings ; one pair near the lateral blunt angle of the 

 abdomen ; one pair between the nephridia ; one pair before the 

 external long hairs ; and one pair between the internal long hairs. 

 On the posterior margin two pa'rs of hairs almost equal in length 

 with the width of the body; the internal pair slightly longer.
