The female of this species is represented in Plate X. fig. 23, 
its natural size being indicated by the lines on the left side of 
fig. 23c. Figure 23a represents one of the mandibles, which is 
short, thick and obtusely tridentate; 236, one of the maxille, 
with its four-jointed palpus; 23c, the mentum, with the ovate 
labium at its extremity, and the labial palpi, which are three- 
jointed and as long as the labium; 23d, one of the twelve-jointed 
antenne, the three terminal joints forming a club and the second 
and third joints being separated by a minute annulus. These 
organs are inserted in the middle of the face between the eyes 
within a round slight common depression, the basal joint of the 
antenna reaching as high as the forehead; the anterior feet are 
simple, with the femora rather thickened in the middle; the calcar 
curved; the tarsi rather longer than the tibic, five-jointed and 
slender; the middle feet are slender, with the tibiz as long as the 
tarsi, the calcar short and straight and very slender; and the hind 
feet (fig, 23e) have the femora incrassated and toothed; the tibiz 
curved and terminating in a spine, spinulate within and having the 
minute calcar at its tip.
