glabrous, unborJeretl, metepistenia three times as long as 

 wide. 



Very closely allied to A .h<rmnrrhohJah's^ ]\Iotseli., if I liavo 

 correctly detenu iiietl that species, hut the latter has the head 

 less narrowly constricted, the back of the lu-ad (behind the 

 level of hind niarj^iin of eyes) quite smooth, and only three 

 or four setiferous ))ores on interval 3, none on ;"> or 7. Bates 

 thought that hcemorrhoidalis had pores on interval 5 as well 

 as on 3 [vide Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 181)2, p. 382).
