margin of the posterior dorsal shield. On a line with the 

 proximal ends of femora IV a pair of ditto in the dark margin, 

 close to the edge of the body. On a line with the distal ends 

 of femora ]V a pair of ditto near the dark margin. Hairs 

 of the lobes (see fig. 32) : on a line a little behind the 

 top of the incision a lateral pair of very short and fine hairs. 

 A little farther backward and on the external margin of the 

 lobes a small and thick pin directed outward, and on the same 

 level on the internal margin of the lobs a very thin and stifl:" 

 hair (a thin pin) directed inward. On the same external 

 protuberance on which the small external pin is planted, there is 

 a flexible (ventral!) hair directed backward and pressed against 

 the lobe. Then again a little further backward on the external 

 corner of the lobe the external long abdominal hairs as long 

 as half the length of the body; on the posterior margin of 

 the lobes the internal pair of long abdominal hairs, more 

 flexible and shorter than the external ones ; finally on the 

 internal corners of the lobes a pair of pins directed medianward. 

 Ventral side (Fig. 31), Epimera I free, proximally 

 only a very little bent outward. Epimera II as long as epi- 

 mera I, proximally with a little nod bent outward ; distally 

 lengthened io the dark margin between trochanteres I and IL 

 Ventralwardly a sufflexed lengthening of the dorsal prosomatic 

 dark margin, distinct behind trochanteres II and curve inward 

 (convex outward). Epimera III a little longer than trochanter 

 III, with distal external short epiraerite reaching the edge of 

 the body. Epimera IV twice longer than trochanter IV, v^ith 

 wide proximal and external epimerite reaching trochanteres 

 III, and with distal and external epimerite reaching the edge 

 of the body ; this epimerite is very wide in its first half and 

 narrow in its second one. Shields. Outside of epimera II 

 a narrow rudiment of coxal plates II. Laterally the triangular 

 sutflexed lateral shields. Genital shield nearly bee-hive shaped, 

 including genitalia and a pair of suiall hairs between genitalia
