A. C. OTJDEMANS, ÌSOTES ON ACARI. 211 



Deutonympha (Fig. 15). Length 304 fx. Colour 

 pale, with darker legs and shield. Shape elongate, widest 

 between legs II and III, constricted behind legs III and again 

 behind legs IV, then again slightly widening. Posteriorly 

 with incision. Texture smooth on legs and shield; rather 

 roughly wrinkled in the unprotected parts. 



Dorsal side (Fig. 15). Anterior shield small, 

 reaching the line just behind legs II, not rounded posteriorly, 

 but somewhat angular. No posterior shields! Hairs: 

 long ones. Close to the obliquely cut off posterior edges 

 of the anterior shield a pair of hairs, almost as long as the 

 width of the body. On the posterior edge of the abdomen, to 

 the sides of the incision two pairs of hairs, of which the inner 

 pair is twice longer than the width of the abdomen, and the 

 outer pair slightly longer than the greatest width of the body. 



Minute hairs: a pair inside of the anterior long ones; 

 two pairs between legs II and III ; one pair on a line a 

 little before trochanteres III ; one pair on a line with trochan- 

 teres IV ; one pair, near the median line, on a line with 

 genu IV ; one pair, more lateral, on a line with tibia IV ; 

 one pair between the inner and outer long posterior hhirs ; 

 and one pair inward of the inner long hairs. Openings of the 

 excretory glands on a line with the distal ends of femora IV. 



Ventral side (Fig. 16). E pi m er a I free; epimera 

 II scarcely bent outward ; epimera III quite lateral, short ; 

 epimera IV more inward, with j)roximal and distal external 

 epimerite ; the latter with circular frontal appendix in the 

 first part. To the sides of epimera III the long ventrilateral 

 hair and its accompanying fine and short hair. Minute hairs 

 are to be found: between epimera I and II a pair; a row of two 

 pairs on a line with the proximal end of trochanteres III ; a 

 pair on a line with the proximal ends of trochanteres IV ; a 

 pair flanking the anus ; two pairs in the posterior angles of 

 the abdomen.
