 projections of margin of pygidium between indentations serrate; "con- 

 spicuous cylindrical canal" extending cephalad from mesal cleft over 

 half way to anus, terminating in "brush of small tubular ducts;" dor- 

 sal and ventral surfaces dotted with minute circular pores with thick- 

 ened rims; anus near cephalic end of pygidium; mesospiracerores and 



metaspiracerores numerous. India on bamboo
