longer than the width of the body. Further the following 

 minute ones: one pair between the long prosoraatic hairs; 

 one pair in the middle of the anterior margin of the lateral 

 shields ; one pair not far from the median line and a little 

 before the transverse line that goes through the posterior 

 ends of the lateral shields ; one marginal pair on a line with 

 femur III; one marginal pair on a line with genu III; one 

 pair on a line with genu IV; one pair a little before the 

 rudiments of the inner abdominal lobes; and one pair just 

 before these rudiments. 



Ventral side (Pig. 44). Epimera I free, their proxim- 

 al ends considerably directed outward, extending backward 

 not farther than the level of the proximal ends of trochanteres 

 II. Epimera II a little longer than epimera I. Epimera III 

 one and a half times longer than trochanter III, distally 

 with short external small epimerite. Epimera IV at least as 

 long as epimera II, slightly S-curve, with proximal external 

 epimerite reaching trochanter III and very wide distal and 

 external epimerite reaching the edgç of the abdomen. Behind 

 trochanter II you observe the ventralward sufflexed lengthening 

 of the dorsal prosomatic dark chitinized margin, anteriorly 

 very wide, posteriorly sharply pointed so 

 that it is a curve high triangle. Shields. Behind these 

 sufflexed margins the ventralward sufflexed lateral dorsal 

 shields, which are not quite triangular but somewhat 

 eroded. Posterior shield including inner lobes and anus 

 square. E p i g y n i u m more than semicircular, even some- 

 what M-shaped. Internal chitinous genital apparatus normal 

 in structure, but somewhat elongate. Hairs. Inside of the 

 middle of epimera II a pair of very small hairs. Within the 

 space limited by the epigynium a pair of ditto. Behind the 

 tops of the horns of the epigynium a pair of ditto. Inside of 

 the proximal ends of epimera IV a pair of ditto. On a line 

 with trochanteres IV a pair of ditto. On the posterior shield
