 ginal sulcus, above which there is another very strong sulcus 

 following nearly the same curvature, with a third strong 

 sulcus on its postero-inf erior angle. The rest of the segments 

 with posterior part separated by a distinct groove from the 

 anterior, and strongly though somewhat irregularly longi- 

 tudinally sulcate from base to summit, as well as ornamented 

 with less definite sculpturing, the sulci becoming fainter 

 towards the hinder end ; but anteriorly the areas that they 

 define become at the sides of the body cariniform or tubercu- 

 liform, as in Lophostreptus ; anterior part of segments trans- 

 versely cristulate behind, smoother in front 5 sterna smooth. 



Pores small in the middle of the posterior part of the 

 segments.
