Prothorax, in front, sloping from the anterior end, on the 

 ventral slope provided with the lip-like lobes and the transverse 

 slit through which the head-capsule is exserted. The upper lip 

 is the higher, not strongly chitinized, provided with a few small 

 scattered bristles which are more numerous on the sides of the 

 lobe; lower lip not so high, with small scattered bristles that are 

 not arranged in a row as in glabrata. At the angle of the slit 

 is a small rounded lobe bearing a small bristle. Dorsal body 

 appendages reduced to a pair of lobes in front separated by a 

 space a little wider than one of them, and a pair of smaller ones 

 behind very widely separated. Lateral body appendage long, 

 consi)icuous. Ventral body appendages not apparent. 



Meso- and metathoraces swollen and arched ventrally like the 

 prothorax. Dorsal appendages two, a small conical one in front 

 and a much larger one behind which bears a small tooth in front 

 and with its tip directed liackward. Lateral appendages viewed 

 from above, two in number, the anterior one larger, directed 

 sharply backward, the second smaller, conical. Ventral appen- 

 dages viewed from the side, two, of which the anterior one is 

 the larger, the posterior pair small, slightly behind the others. 



Abdominal segments, dorsal appendages: first segment with 

 two pairs of appendages, the anterior shorter, conical, the tip 

 strongly recurved and bearing a tiny tooth on its anterior face 

 at about midlength; the posterior are much longer with the tip 

 bent strongly backward, a small tooth on the anterior face at 

 about one-third the length. Segments II to VII with four pairs 

 of appendages, the first very small, conical; the second exactly 

 similar but larger; the third and fourth similar to those 

 appendages of the first abdominal segment; the tiny first 

 appendage is largest on the second segment, becoming smaller 

 toward the end of the body. Lateral appendages : first segment 

 with three appendages, the first of which is directed laterad, the 

 posterior two more recurved and directed caudad. Segments 

 II to VII with four pairs of lateral appendages of which the first 

 is very small, situated at the antero-lateral angle of the segment, 

 the other three teeth are subequal and directed caudad. Ventral 

 appendages, first segment with three pairs of a^jpendages which
