darker nt bnse of olypeus ami on lalirnin and inaiidil)les, and hlaokish jit the 

 lower outer angles of the i)araol.vi)eal i)ieces, edges of clyi)eus. and tips of the 

 mandibles; pale at vertical triangle, outer edges of paraelypeal pieces, gular 

 surfaces, epistonin. |)al](i. and antenna', the last two somewhat darkened; 

 mandibles l)road and short, indistinctly tive-toothed, the two iimer teeth mere 

 serrations, the third tooth short, truncate, and broad, one-half shorter than the 

 second, which is siiorter and broader than the first, which is also obtuse; cut- 

 ting edge of mandible oblicjue ; two setu> i)resent, arising together from middle 

 of inner edge. Clypeus long, acutely triangular, its lateral margins sinuate, not 

 distinctly truncate at basal corners, which are impressed and bear two setje, 

 oue caudad of the other ; paraclypeal pieces long, narrowed centrally, including 

 the clypeus; on the inner side of each paraclypeal piece near the posterior end 

 is a slight depi'ession from wliicli arises a small seta, near tlu> ;ipex of the 

 clypeus. Ocelli G, weak, pale, the first four in a (piadrangle, each with a dis- 

 tinct lateral jtigment spot ; the tifth more ceph.-ilad, ventro-laterad of anteinia, 

 also with i)igmentatiou ; the sixth smaller, caudo-laterad of the tifth. and with- 

 (mt pigmentation ; the group protected by seta-. 



Cervical sliield pale yellow, bearing twelve seta\ in two groups of three each on 

 each side of meson, all separated, and the c;tudal one of the first group separated 

 by a suture; laterad of the shield, eephalad of spiracle, a grouj) of three from a 

 calloused tubercle, of which the cephalic two are uuicli the longer ; directly 

 laterad .-i group of two from a fleshy elongate tubercle, the caudal seta the 

 larger; between these setigerous tubercles, caudad and opposite the spiracle, is a 

 narrow nonsetigerous tubercle, nuich narrower than the second setigerous one 

 (one next to the fore leg); spiracle oval, brownish; " vii " and " viii " small. 

 on the venter ( V) and base of fore leg. On segments II and III, i in the dorsal 

 region consisting of two setiP, the laterad larger : ii the same, slightly advanced, 

 dorso-lateral asjiect ; iii single, minute, caudad between ii and iv, nearer the 

 latter ; iv single, large, in a line laterad with iii, advanced slightly beyond i, 

 and in the stigmata 1 line ; v small, its settp larger than iii, single, much advanced, 

 cephalo-laterad of iv : vi some distance caudo-laterad of v, about in a line trans- 

 versely with i, single, eiiual to iv, above base of leg; all in the second anmdet. 

 A calloused sjtot behind iii. and a smaller one above vi, some distance caudad of 

 V. Segment IV. single, i eephalad. small, in first .-innulet ; ii larger, caudo- 

 laterad of i; i and ii from dorsal aspect, forming a trapezoid; iii some distance 

 from i in a transverse line, equal to ii, apparently in the first annulet, just 

 above spiracle ; iv and v combined jiist below the spiracle, the seta of v larger ; 

 vi caudad, nearer to vii than to iv and v; vii consisting of two sette in the 

 ventro-lateral line, and viii of one seta in the ventral region, minute; a minute 

 calhmsed spot behind iv and v. Segment V, the s.ime, vii consisting of three 

 setiv. one of which may l)e ol)solete. Segments VI, VII, VIII, and IX, the 

 same; vii. three seta^ on ceith.-ilo-lateral :isi»tH-t at the base of proleg ; viii. mimite 

 and single, iinier side base of pi'oleg ; the intermediate seta of vii longest. On 

 segment X. ii caudad of i. vii consisting of two set;e. the inner the lai'ger. vi 

 nearer to vii. Segmcuit XI. i .-md ii closer, flic lattn- ;ilso clo.ser together trans- 

 versely, iii ccpli.ilo-mes.-ul of the spiracle; iv small, against, and eephalad of 

 tlu> si)iriicle; vii .i single seta. Segment XII, i apparently al)seut; ii, iii, and 

 iv in a transverse line, iii and iv combined; v minute, between iv and vi, 

 slightly cephalo-laterad of iv : vi large. cei)halad ; vii and viii single. Anal 

 shield subobsolete, i)ale. bearing four large set;e on each side, minutely maculate. 

 Segment XIII. four minute tul)ercle^^ across the venter (vii and viii ?). in 

 front of each proleg. and just l)elow the shield, a line of five on each side of the 

 segment, of uneciual size.
