This species ditfers from Tliopha saccata, A. & S., the only 

 other described species of the genus, by the much more 

 strongly sessile eyes, a character alone which will instantly 

 separate the species. Besides this structural feature, the 

 colour is much paler, the body almost glabrous above, and 

 not pilose as in T. saccata ; the head, sternum, and opercula 

 beneath ochraceous and not very dark castancous, and the 

 abdomen is narrower and more attenuated.

 ochraceous near base. Body beneath and legs sanguineous ; 

 head beneath, anterior coxte, and lateral margins of sternum

 described the apex of one posterior femur and its tibia is
