(db. a. C. OtTDEMA.NS'). NOTES ON ACAUl. 125- 



The coxae are fused to form the underside of the capitulum, and 

 provided each with 1 hair. Femur dorsally with 1, ventrally with 

 2 hairs Genu ventrally proximally and outward with 1 hair. Tibia 

 dorsally distally and inward 1 hair, ventrally and inward 1 hair 

 and at its top the known enormous claw with 2 basal inner 

 tubercles. Tarsus dorsally with the known 2 combs, and ventrally 

 with the known 2 curved claw-like hairs. 



Legs. (Fig. 38). The two fore-pairs slenderer than the two hindpairs. 

 Feather-like hairs on femur i, genu I, genu 2, tibia 2, trochanter 3, 

 femur 3, genu 3, trochanter 4, femur 4, genu 4. Other sense 

 (olfactoric ?) hairs: genu 1 distally with a minute rod-like hair; 

 tibia 1 distally with 1 ditto; tarsus 1 in the middle with a long 

 rod- or sauvage- like hair, accompaiiied liy a long tactile hair. 



Male (fig. 40). Leiigth. 424 ^. Colour pale but darker than in 

 the female, with a brownish hue. Shape slenderer than that of 

 the ? ; especially the rostrum is narrower. Texture finely wrinkled 

 in the unprotected parts. — Borsai side (fig. 40} with 2 shields, 

 both sublrapezoidal ; anterior shield wider than posterior one. 

 Anterior shield slightly wiiler than long, wider posteriorly; in 

 the fore-corners 3 hairs each, in de hind-corners 4 hairs each. 

 Laterali'^, between the shields a hair. Posterior shield one and a 

 half time longer than wide; wider anteriorly; with rounded angles 

 and sides; anteriorly with 1 pair; lateially with 3 pair of hairs; 

 and more inward and central 1 pair. All these hairs are feathers 

 but when viewed from a side they resemble hairy hairs! So there 

 are 13 pairs, or 26 feathers on the dorsum. Moreover, quite 

 posteriorly, but in the dorsal shield is the minute genital aperture, 

 surrounded by 3 pair of crooked minute pins. 



Ventral side (fig. 41). Sternal shield short, contiguous to the 

 capitulum, surrounding it laterally, without any hair. There is also 

 a ventral shield which is almost round, with 1 pair of hairs 

 posteriorly. Between coxae 2 one pair; between coxae 4 one pair; 

 before the ventral shield one pair; behind it one pair of fine smooth 

 hairs. On coxae 1 and 3 tivo, on coxae 2 and 4 one hair each. 

 All these hairs are fine and smooth. Lateral hair (fig. 42) smooth ( ! ),
