surface near the posterior margin. The smaller portion of group 

 6 lies nearer the posterior edge of the leg (fig. 12, A) and has 9 

 pores, none of whose openings lies with its long diameter exactly 

 transverse to the long axis of the leg. The other portion of the 

 group has thirteen pores, and the long diameter of most of its 

 openings are exactly transverse to the long axis of the leg. The 

 diameter of the largest pore is about twice that of the smallest.
