Genitalia. —Harpago somewhat pear-shaped, tapering to a narrow 
extremity, strongly serrated and curved downwards, the upper edge 
is evenly curved and wmll studded with minute tubercles and teeth; 
the cingula is erect, narrow with long arms expanding very little at the 
cheeks of the tegumen ; the base is produced backwards into a long, 
blunt, tube-like process; the tegumen is fairly developed, excavateil 
somewhat at the front apex, with cheeks having evenly-curved rather 
long fore edges; the fakes long and strong with small talon-like tips, 
and are highly curved almost from their sockets; the furca has longish 
narrow arms curved well backwards. Penis sheath broad, hollowed 
for the hinder two-fifths, and gradually tapering from thence to the 
orifice, which is thickly studded for a fifth with fine, close serrations, 
reminding one closely in arrangement of the teeth in the palate of a 
pike. The cheeks of the tegumen and the upper edge and extremity 
of the harpagines are furnished with long hairs.
