ment ; second sej^mciit siibchivate, third 

 clavate, fourth elliptico-cvlindrical. Meso- 

 notum concealing the pronotum. Superior 

 claws (fig- i8) broad, curving, with a large 

 proximal tooth and a small sharp distal tooth ; 

 between these there is, on the hind feet, 

 another minute tooth ; inferior claws over 

 half as long as the superiors, oblong-lanceo- 

 late ; tenant hair small and unknobbed. 

 Fourth abdominal segment nearly four times 

 as long as the third. Furcula attaining tlie 

 ventral tube; manubrium and dentes sub- 

 equal ; mucrones (fig. 19) subfalcate with two 

 subequal teeth and a prominent basal spine; 

 three barbellate setae surround the mucro 

 and two of them extend far beyond it. Scales 

 large .and rounded. A few minute setae occur 



on the liead, stitf bristles on the appendages 

 and curving feathered setae on the dorsal side 

 of the furcula. Length, i mm. 



This species bears much resemblance 

 to P. alba Pack.* In alba, however, 

 the proximal tooth of the superior claw is 

 more basal than in Candida, while the 

 fourth abdominal segment is only three 

 times as long as the third, and dense 

 clavate setae are present on mesonotum, 

 coxae, and the apex of the abdomen ; 

 alba, moreover, has only four eyes. 



Three types: 268 (2), 308 (i). 

 Type No. 6148, U. S. National Museum.
