Lohmannia spinosa n. sp. 

 (Figure 214) 

 I.fiifrtii ;") 1 !• inicrin. Legs colorless. Body sliowiiig black and brown internal 

 organs but integument colorless. Abdomen without wings. Mandibles heavy and 

 chelate. No lamella', translamella nor tectopedium. Pseudostigmatic organ with 

 moderate!}' long pednucle and gradually elavate head whicli is pectinate on distal 

 half. Abdomen viewed dorsally is almost circular in outline with prominent 

 tubercles from which arise long pectinate bristles. Side view seems to agree more 

 easily with the generic feature — "almost cylindrical." The suture separating 

 cephalothorax and abdomen becomes double ventrally. Ma.xillary palpus more 

 than once and a half times the length of movable arm of chela of mandible. Legs 

 about half the length of body. Unguis monodaetyle sp. On each side of cephalo- 

 thorax are three superior bristles and two lateral bristles similar in size^ shape 

 and pectination to those on abdomen. Legs moderately set with fine pectinate 

 hairs; a simple bristle, slightly longer, on the apex of penultimate joint. Under 

 rotting board. Claremontj Cal. One specimen. 



Figure 214. Lohmannia spinosa 



This species being placed in Lohmannia necessitates a slight modification of 

 the generic description, i. e., the clause in regard to the relative length of the 

 palpus and the movable arm of chela of mandible must be moved to the specific 

 descriptions of L. munioides and L. paradoxa. Since my species fits the generic 

 description so well in other respects, and since the number of species in the genus 

 is so small, I would prefer to make this correction rather than to establish a new 

 genus on such slight characters. 



Paraliodes n. g. 

 Abdomen not segmented, dorsum of abdomen convex, smooth, fully chitinized, 

 not carrying cast nymphal skins. Unguis tridactyle. Genital and anal covers 

 widely separated.
