 <'+LXX 18 — 23; 12 — 21 mm. in 2 or 3 wlioi'Is. Cirri very diversiform 

 in appearance, often slender, straight, weak; sometimes of the usual 

 type: coarse, thick ami strongly curved (compare Fig. 34). The first- 

 mentioned ones have the P' segment short, 2'' — 3'' or 4"' cubical or a 

 little longer. 5''— 8*'' segment L = + 2 X br (when the C are of the 

 later type these segments have only L=l '4 X br). From about the 

 Id''' segment L = ^2Xbr. Dorsal transverse ribbon or knot occurs 

 from 12"' or Hi"' segments. Terminal claw rather coarse, somewhat 

 longer than the penultimate segment.
