264 COLE 



where there are on the dorsal border three nodular processes, each armed 

 with one or more spines. 



Caudal segment very long and narrow (as long as proboscis), reaching 

 a little beyond the middle of the second coxal joint of the posterior pair of 

 legs ; not marked off from trunk by a suture ; directed somewhat down- 

 ward ; dorsal outline irregular and armed with a number of stout spines. 



Eye tubercle on the extreme anterior edge of the first trunk segment, 

 moderately high, cylindrical ; apex obtusely conical ; eyes rather large, 

 near the apex. 



Proboscis about as long as trunk to base of caudal segment, broadly 

 elliptical, truncated at the extremity; dorsal border more convex than 

 ventral as seen from side ; without circular constriction, but with distinct 

 longitudinal ribs. 



Chelifori considerably over half the length of the proboscis, stout ; first 

 joint reaching at least to middle of proboscis ; tuberculated on the dorsal 

 side, the tubercles armed with spines ; second joint small, spherical, with 

 i or 2 spines. The chelifori are not parallel, being bowed outward in 

 the middle. 



Palpi 8-jointed, overreaching the proboscis by nearly a third of its 

 length; j.2 and/4 long, others short; j.2 somewhat longer than 7.4, 

 proximal joints sparsely armed with a few rather long bristles ; outer side 

 of distal joints densely crowded with somewhat shorter ones. 



Ovigera considerably different in the two sexes. Oviger of female 

 about as long as palp; j'.i short and broad; j.2 issuing somewhat from 

 the side of/.i ; jj.2 and 3 about equal, longer than/.i ; jj.^ and 5 about 

 equal, longest ; jj.6 to 10 successively smaller ; j'.io very small, rounded ; 

 j/.f, 8, 9, 10 each armed with two denticulate spines; jj.$ and 6 with a 

 few small bristles. Oviger of male nearly twice as long as that of female ; 

 j.i squarish; j.2 longer than/.i ; both 77. i and 2 broader than the suc- 

 ceeding joints;/. 3 longer than j.2\ 7.4 and_/-5 about equal, longer than 

 J-Z'tJJ'^ to 10 successively smaller, except 7.9, which is longer thany.8; 

 j'.io small and furnished with 2 denticulate spines, while j'.g has at 

 least i ; no denticulate spines could be discerned on the preceding 

 joints. Joints 4 to 7 are armed with short, backwardly projecting spines 

 in rows, while the succeeding joints have only 2 or 3 simple bristles 

 each. Terminal part of the oviger strongly incurved. 



External egg-masses rather small, globular. So far as observed, but 

 one mass on each oviger. 



Legs relatively short, rather less than twice the length of the body ; 

 c.2 not much longer than c.\ and ^.3 ; c.i with 3 tubercles on its dor- 

 sodistal edge, each armed with spines ; /. rather shorter than coxal region,
