suckers. Suckerplate large; its length is more than one third ot 

 the length of the body and its width a little shorter than one 

 half of this length. It does not reach the posterior edge of the 

 body. It has first a row of two suckers, slightly laiger than those 

 of the ventral surface; then a row of four large suckers, of which 

 the inner pair has two central points; finally a pair of suckers 

 a little larger than those of the first row, but smaller than the 

 outer pair of the second row. — The edge of the body is laterally 

 slightly sutilexed to the ventral side. 



Capitulum long, passing beyond the edge of the epistoma, ending 

 in two long hairs which are planted on minute bases. 



Legs. Coxal plates forming together a large ventral plate (Fig. 

 66, grey portion). Legs 1 and IV as long as width of body; legs 

 II and III shorter. Legs I and II somewhat thicker than legs III 

 and IV. Femur and genu of leg I and of leg II fused. Tibia I 

 and II and tarsi I and II dorsally and proximally with olfactoric 

 hairs. Genus, tibiae and tarsi I and II with only a very few 

 spines on the sides of the joints. Tarsi I and II ending in an 

 almost straight minute claw and a lanceoatel sticking hair. 

 Trochanteres II and IV not discernable; tibiae ar d tarsi III and 

 IV apparently fused. I did not see any lanceolate sticking hair 

 at the end of tarsus III, yet it may be present. Tarsus IV 

 ending in a minute claw and a short trailing hair (as long as 

 tibia I). 



Habitat. In dung (on Sphaeridium dimidiatum Cast). 



Patria. Sumatra.
