€lose to this " nose " there are five ventral bristles, and above it two more bristles, 

 one of which is quite short. The dorsal portion of the finger is very strongly 

 rounded-dilated, as shown in the figure, and bears a row of about nine short, 

 spine-like bristles along the most dorsal part of the edge, the distal ones of these 

 bristles being the thinnest. The inner arm of the ninth sternite is rather 

 strongly curved, its apical dilated portion being twice as long as this portion is 

 wide at its centre. The ventral arm is as long as the vertical one, bears numerous 

 small bristles on the sides and at the ventral margin, one small stiff bristle at 

 the apical margin, and a row of four stout, short, strongly chitinised ones at 



the apical portion of the ventral margin. ?. The seventh sternite (text-fig. 24) 



exhibits a row of nine or ten long bristles (on the two sides together), besides 

 some small bristles, and is divided by a deep sinus into a very broad upper 

 lobe and a much narrower rounded lower one. The ventral edge of the upper lobe 

 is excurved near the apex of the sinus, which is rendered very narrow in con- 

 sequence. The eighth tergite has no bristles above the stigma, and bears a ventral

row of five or six strong bristles, of which the last is short and placed close to 

 a long one, both being situated practically at the a{>ical edge of the segment. 

 Above this row there is one long bristle, and more proximally than this bristle 

 often one or two small ones. The upper angle of the dilated ventral i)ortion 

 •of this segment is sometimes acuminate, sometimes rounded. On the inner 

 surface of the segment are six or seven small bristles. The eighth sternite is 

 itroader than usual, its apex being much less narrowed than in the other African 

 species. The stylet is conical, being nearly three times as long as it is broad at 

 the base. The anal sternite bears seven bristles. The head of the 

 semiuis (K.8.) is longer than the tail.
