The cephalothoracie shield 
with but a small number of short, even very short, 
oblique fissures, especially placed not far from the 
lateral eyes and from the hindmost lateral angles. 
Sternum and labium 
without fissures. 
The dorsal side of the abdomen 
Ist and 2d tergite without fissures. 
Sd tergite on each half with 2 small oblique 
fissures standing apart from each other along the posterior 
margin and a little removed from the median line; to- 
wards the lateral margin, somewhat closer to the posterior 
than to the anterior margin c. 5 oblique fissures, one 
pair of which is longer, the others very short. 
4th, 5th and 6th tergite having on each half c. 6 
slighter, oblique fissures, spread along the posterior 
margin, further inwards on the tergite a pair of very 
small fissures, finally in a distance from the lateral 
margin and almost half way between the anterior and 
the posterior margin one single or 2 tiny fissures. 
7th, 8th and 9th tergite almost as the precedings, 
but with fewer fissures along the posterior margin, only 
3 or 4 on each half. | 
10th tergite has in a similar way reduced the 
number to 8 on each side, 2 of which near the posterior 
margin. 
llth and 12th tergite with 2 fissures on each 
halt. 
The ventral side of the abdomen. 
lst sternite without fissures. (I have to mention 
that I consider the plate situated close behind the 
sternum (Tab. II, fig. 18, f.) as the Ist sternite, an opi- 
nion I shall prove in the 1st section of Thelyphonide). 
2d sternite with a group of 4 rather oblique 
transverse fissures somewhat removed from each other,
