as long as the preceding segment. All the legs well clothed with short, 
pectinate bristles. Claws of all the legs moderate. 
Length, 2.00 mm.; breadth, 1.40 mm. 
Found in grass. Collected by the writer at Muncie, Ill. 
This species apparently carries its young upon its back. 
I found several small larvae all alike (which presumably 
were the larvae of this species, as they had several char- 
acteristics of the adult) living parasitically upon the 
specimen.

clavate hairs. 
Palpi extending forward to about the middle of the third segment 
of leg I; palpal claw short, strongly curved; thumb slightly swollen, not 
surpassing the claw; second segment of palpus broader and one and one- 
half times as long as the third segment. Mandibles about one-half as 
long as the palpi. Dorsal groove long, extending over one-half its length 
beyond the eyes, swollen at the posterior end and extending anteriorly 
to the anterior tubercle which is small, low and bears about six stout 
hairs. A single pair of large eyes present, situated about half way from 
the dorsal groove to the lateral margin of the body. 
Body subpyriform, broadest between the anterior and posterior groups 
of legs; uniformally rounded behind. 
Anterior pair of legs as long as the body; tarsus slightly swollen, 
as long as the tibia; tibia subequal to the preceding segment. Second 
pair of legs small, about three-fourths as long as the anterior pair; third

longest, being both longer and stouter than the third segment; mandi-
