ANOPLURA OF THAILAND — JOHNSON 589 



one of the lateral abdominal setae arises from it; plate VII dorsally 

 continuous with tergal plate of segment 8. Genitalia with 

 narrow basal plate; parameres of approximately same width through- 

 out most of their lengths, acute apically, subapicaily with lateral 

 triangulate lobe; penis opening above proximal fourth of parameres; 

 pseudopenis with distal half rugose. 



Female: Head as in male except basal antennal segment as broad 

 as long and third antennal segment not modified. Thorax and legs 

 as in male. Abdomen with tergal and sternal plates well developed, 

 two plates per segment dorsally and ventrally, tj^pical ones each 

 bearmg a row of 6 to 10 setae; second sternal plate of segment 7 with 

 3 or 4 short medial setae flanked by 2 long setae; 1 or 2 lateral setae 

 off each plate. Paratergal plates much as in male, but plate VIII 

 not joined to tergal plate of that segment; plates III-VI with pos- 

 terior corners produced into short acute lobes, smaller acute lobes on 

 each side of setal bases. Genitalia as m figure 47; genital plate (of 

 segment 8) heavily spiculated; lateral setigerous lobes elongate. 



Lengths: Male 1.8-2.2 mm.; female 2.5-2.8 mm.

Holotype deposited in the collections of the U.S. National Museum,

Diagnosis: A^. kinabalensis is closely allied to sciuropteri (Osborn) 

 and capitaneus. It is somewhat larger than sciuropteri, and smaller 

 than capitaneus. N. kinabalensis differs from capitaneus in that the 

 basal antennal segment is as broad as long in the male, whereas in 

 capitaneus this segment is longer than broad (compare figs. 50 and 51). 

 The male genitalia are quite different in the two species. In kina- 

 balensis the parameres are short, not enclosing the pseudopenis for 

 most of its length, and their outer margins are convex (compare 

 figs. 55 and 56). Females of capitaneus and kinabalensis are quite 

 similar, differing mainly in the genital area. The lateral setigerous 

 lobes of the eighth segment ("gonopods") are smaller and more 

 widely separated in kinabalensis, the lip of the vulva between these 

 lobes is only slightly convex, and the genital plate is not so heavily 

 spiculated (compare figs. 47 and 48). A^. kinabalensis differs from 

 sciuropteri in having the thoracic sternal plate differently shaped, with 

 the posterior points not so long (compare figs. 59 and 61). N. kina- 

 balensis males have the basal antennal segment as broad as long, 

 not longer than broad as in sciuropteri (figs. 52, 53) . The male genitalia
