on one side. Anal segment completely ringed by the saddle, which is 
spiculate dorsolaterally.

SystemMatics.—This species exhibits a rather generalized mesosome 
in the male terminalia, but the arrangement and distribution of the 
appendicles on the apical lobe of the basistyle is diagnostic. 
SALIENT CHARACTERS.—Adult female: See table 1. 
Male terminalia: Basistyle conical, slightly longer than twice the 
basal width; clothed with fine setae in addition to the normal, long 
setal pattern. Apical lobe of the basistyle prominent, undivided, and 
also clothed with fine setae. Appendicles of the apical lobe as follows: 
basal rod strong, straight, and with a fine hook at the apex; median 
rod longer and broader than basal rod, prominently hooked; apical 
rod longer than, but not as broad as the median rod, also prominently 
hooked; two short, straight, fine setae next to the apical rod; leaf 
moderate in size, bluntly rounded, with a few prominent longitudinal 
striations in the center; two accessory setae present, one strong and 
prominently hooked, the other more slender, long, and gently curved. 
Dististyle normal. Tenth sternite crowned with a dense tuft of short, 
pointed spines; basal arm moderate in length, strongly curved termi- 
nally; three cercal setae present in a compact group. External process 
eradually tapering to a blunt point; reaching to about the ventral 
cornu. Ventral cornu dentiform, somewhat larger than the teeth of 
the median process. Median process with about five distinct, sharply 
pointed teeth. Basal process broad and sharply bent at the apical 
third so that the pointed apex is directed posteriorly. 
Larva: Antennal tuft located in a constriction near the outer third; 
antennal shaft spiculate basally. Postclypeal head hair 4 short, 
single; upper and lower frontal head hairs 5 and 6 4-branched, 
long, and barbed; preantennal head hair 7 multiple, long, and barbed. 
Mentum with about 21 teeth, the apical tooth broader and larger than 
the lateral teeth. Body glabrous. Comb with numerous scales in a 
patch; each scale rounded apically and fringed with subequal spinules.
