 which the tignre was taken ; the artist was misled by the dark appearance of a 

 small place from which the scales of the upper lawyer have mostly been removed. 

 Tenth tergite prismatical, broader above than below (PI. XXIII. f. 12), simple, 

 carved, narrowed in middle, apex acute in side-view, feebly sinuate in dorsal view ; 

 sternite short, very broad, rounded, apex shallowly sinuate, lateral and distal parts 

 of npperside densely clothed with short bristles (X«!). Clasper sole-shaped, apex 

 strongly rounded ; harpe indicated by a feeble ftdd separating a triangular piece 

 from the rest of the clasper (PI. XXXI. f. 7). Penis-sheath without processes,
