 podite: Coxale: The toothed edge of the pars incisiva is in most cases ot ahoiit the same 

 type as that reproduced Itelow in tig. 1(1 of C. symmetrica, i. e. the most anterior tootii is very 

 power{\il, snxooth, low, broad, rather transversally and evenly cut ofT distally; the others are 

 also smooth and decrease, though somewhat irregularly, in size and strength the more posteriorly 

 thev are situated; the anterior ones arc niuderately large and somewhat irregularly triangular, 

 the posterior ones are very small; the posterior part of this edge can conveniently be described 

 in this tvpe as being irregularly undulated. The number of these teeth is rather difficult to 

 establish with certainty on account of the small size of the posterior teeth and it varies somewhat 

 even within the species. The toothed edge seldom varies from this type. In some species, 

 however, variations wore observed with regard to the teeth situated behind the large anterior 

 tooth. These are sometimes subequal — or else the most posterior one is even somewhat more 

 powerful than its neighbours — and are all relatively smaller than the anterior ones of these 

 teeth in the tvpe described above, irregularly triangular and smooth (ef. my figure 9 of C. rotun- 

 data G. W. MC'LLEU). In one species (cf. my figure 6 of (J. Gaussi) this toothed edge ends poster- 

 iorly wnth a low, broad, irregularly rounded tooth; the teeth nearest to the large anterior one 

 are of about the same type as in the ..normal type" described above, but somewhat less relatively; 

 the other teeth decrease in size and strength the more posteriorly they are situated; the part 

 just in front of the broad, rounded posterior tooth is finely serrulated. The two tooth-lists and 

 the masticatory pad show such great variability that it did not seem to me convenient to de- 

 scribe them in this connection. I need only point out here that the tooth-lists often exhibit 

 a certain variability even within the species and that the masticatory pad is always well developed. 

 Along the posterior edge of the pad-like part of the pars incisiva there are four more or 

 less broad lancet-bristles and also a large number of rather short or moderately long bristles, 

 situated close together and simple or somewhat bifurcated distally. Basale: This is in most 

 cases of about the type reproduced by me in fig. 22 of C. symmetrica; its relative length is in 

 exceptional cases somewhat less and it has sometimes a relatively stronger endite. The six 

 teeth on the distal edge of the endite are in most cases all of about the same size and type. 

 These teeth have most frequently the following type: They are moderately large and 

 almost equilaterally triangular; about the proximal halves of the anterior and posterior 

 edges are exceedingly finely serrulated; in a number of cases this serrulation is rather 

 strong. In exceptional cases (cf. my fig. 10 of C. Gaussi) these teeth are relatively low, 

 the proximal serrate teeth on one or both of the edges are, on the other hand, very powerfiU, 

 i. e. the difference between the main points of these teeth and the serrate teeth has almost 

 disappeared in this type. The two posterior processes on this edge are subequal, moder- 

 ately strong, bare or furnished with a few secondary spines; the distal one of them is of the 

 tube-bristle type, the proximal one, which is situated rather slightly proximally of the former
