are as long as the half of the width of the body and are 

 relatively widely remote from the trochanteres II. Inside of 

 them the pair of minute hairs. Where the body is widest, 

 near the edge, a pair of ditto. On a level with trochanteres III 

 near the median line a pair of ditto. On a level with tro- 

 chanteres IV between the median line and the edge a pair of 

 ditto. On a line with the end of genu IV near the median 

 line a pair of ditto. Farther backward and before the inner 

 abdominal lobes a pair of ditto. On the inner lobes themselves 

 a pair of ditto. Finally 2 pairs of long abdominal hairs (as 

 long as the width of the body) planted on the edge of the 

 abdominal lobes. 



Ventral side (Fig. 40). E p i m e r a I free, reaching 

 the line which goes through the proximal ends of trochanteres 

 II. Epimera II as long as epimera I. Epimera III as long as 

 trochanter III; halfway with outer epi merite reaching the edgj 

 of the body where it has a frontal round appendix on which 

 is planted the longer lateral hair. Epimera IV twice longer 

 than trochanter IV, proximally bent inward, proximally with 

 exterûal epimerite which reaches trochanter III, distally with 

 external epimerite of which the first half is a little square, 

 the last half a bar, and which reaches the edge of the body. 

 Shields. There is a rudiment of a coxal plate I outside of 

 epimera I. There is also a triangular shield includii g the 4 

 abdominal lobes and the anus. Genital suckers; the 

 fore pair on a line with distal end of epimera IV. Hairs. 

 Outside of the proximal ends of epimera I, near epimdrall, a 

 pair of minute hairs. Before the proximal ends of epimera IV 

 a pair of ditto. Inside of the proximal ends of epimera IV a 

 pair of ditto. Aside of the genital suckers a pair of ditto. 

 Behind this pair a pair of ditto. Flanking the anus a pair 

 of ditto. On the outer (smaller) abdominal lobes a pair of 

 ditto. Finally the lateral hair before trochanter III quite near 

 the edge of the body and planted on a round appendix of the
