 which becomes paler distally, the feet being distinctly pale 

 red. 



Carapace densely granular, the granules coarser upon the 

 area behind and on the inner side of the lateral eyes ; the 

 area just on the inner side of and below the cephalic keels, as 

 well as that on the middle of the interocular area and behind 

 the median ocular tubercle, not granular ; the tubercle quite 

 smooth, high, and projecting some way in front of the eye.^. 



The abdomen densely covered with low squamitorm 

 granules, the median line visible upon the first three and on 

 the eighth and ninth ; the two anterior annular segments of 

 the postabdomen smooth below, finely granular above and 

 at the sides; the anal segment smooth, punctured, the 

 ommatoids large, transverse, larger than any of the eyes ; 

 flagellum composed of 35 segments. Genital operculum 

 mesially produced posteriorly, studded with coarse punctures, 

 the interstices being smooth, with scarcely a trace of a 

 median line, but with a pair of conspicuous impressions, 

 densely punctulate laterally, not quite twice as wide as long, 

 but as long as the fourth and half the fifth sterna. The second 

 and third sterna about equally long in the middle line, 

 sculptured like the first, the second with a median transverse

 largest and the proximal bifid, and above with 6 teeth, the 3 

 internal of which are well developed and subequal, the angular 

 (fourth) is the largest, and the two anterior as large as the 

 lateral ; these are close together, but separated widely from 

 the angular ; this segment, like the femur^ is densely punc- 

 tured and subgranular above and below. T\\q femur is armed 

 with a large lower spine and a small but distinct upper one.
