 six; the tibia of anal legs lacks the conspicuous process at distal 

 end beneath, and the distal division of tarsus consists typically of 

 twenty-three articles instead of six or eight, etc.

The general color of dorsum is from ochraceous to light chestnut 

 with the head scarcely differing from the tergites. Legs from 

 essentially similar in color to the tergites to fulvous, the anal legs 

 always fulvous distally. 



Head with scattered punctae; with two short paired longi- 

 tudinal sulci from caudal margin. Caudal margin widely convex, 

 in middle region nearly straight. 



Antennae consisting normally of seventeen articles of which 

 the first four bear setae and the succeeding ones more numerous 

 short hairs of the usual character. 



Anterior margin of prosternum bearing a narrow chitinous 

 plate which is convex on each side and obtusely notched at the 

 middle. Prosternum with a median longitudinal sulcus which is not 

 sharply impressed at the middle and is often distinct nowhere else. 



First dorsal plate with a semicircular cervical sulcus free from 

 the head with unbranched paired longitudinal sulci which, begin- 

 ning about halfway from caudal margin to cervical sulcus, first 

 diverge from each other and then come back a little before reaching; 

 the sulcus which tliey cross, continuing to or nearly to the edge of
