the largest, sharp, spine-shaped; the second very small. The lower fang 

 longer than the upper, curved upwards and towards the apex, armed with 

 two large triangular teeth and a minute denticle between them, imme- 

 diately in front of the hinder tooth. Mandibles gibbous above, at the 

 base of the flagellum. with a longitudinal row of bristles above and 

 along the inner edge, and with a few very strong stridulating ridges 

 on the inner side. 



Flagellum — composed of a transparent, membranous, ellip- 

 soidal flattened disc, drown out behind into a straight, slender terminal 

 portion, not exceeding 

 the disc in length; su- 

 perior edge of the disc 

 more convex and more 

 widely involuted out- 

 wards than the lower 

 one; the disc attached 

 excentrically and rota- 

 tably to the inner sur- 

 face of the mandible at 

 its upper edge, just be- 

 hind the base of the 

 fang; its involuted edge 

 being slightly crenulate. 



Palps — with the metatarsus distinctly stouter near the middle 

 han at ends, slightly depressed from above and below; under side of 

 metatarsus with two rows of spines on the distal half of the limb; 

 each row being composed of three long straight spines; the middle 

 pair of the latter situated nearer to the distal than the proximal pair; 

 tarsus incrassated, distinctly stouter than the distal end of the meta- 

 tarsus; its length about one-third that of the metatarsus; under side of 

 the tibia with two rows of very long and stout setae; the femur below 

 with an irregular row of a few very long setae. 



Legs — long, slender; tarsus of first leg fusiform, slightly 

 incrassated distally, with a few fine clavate setae at apex; metatarsus 

 of second leg with five long, curved dorsal spines; under side of the 

 latter joint with two long external bristles on the proximal half and 

 with 1+2 curved spines on the distal half; metatarsus of third leg 

 with three long, fine curved dorsal spines and with similar 1 + 2 spines 

 on the ventral side distally; tarsi of first and second legs two-jointed 

 with a brush of fine, reddish at tips, bristles below; the proximal 

 joint of the tarsus of these legs armed with an external row of two 

 very short spines on the distal half below; fourth pair of legs very 

 long, with the femur distinctly incrassated and depressed from the
