domen dorsally clothed with rather short bristles, some of the larger 
of which are slightly clubbed and pectinate; shoulder bristles moderate 
and of the same kind as the larger abdominal bristles. Sternum subrec- 
tangular, extending from the front margins of coxae II to between 
coxae III, posterior margin concave. Female genital plate triangular, 
apex reaching beyond the posterior margins of coxae III and base situ- 
ated far behind the posterior coxae. 
Anterior and posterior legs much longer than the other two pairs. 
Tarsus of leg I, one and a half times as long as tibia and well clothed 
with simple setae; tibia twice as long as broad and longer than the 
patella, which is slightly curved. Posterior legs extending for more 
than half their length beyond the posterior margin of the abdomen, 
tarsus very long and tapering with an indicated segmentation near its 
base, tibia slightly over one-half as long as the tarsus. 
Length, 0.54 mm.; breadth, 0.24 mm. 
In trash. Described from a single female which came 
through from India alive and in good condition. She was 
very active. 
UROPODIDAE. 
uROPopA Latreille. 
Sculptures present on the ventral surface for the reception of the — 
legs; legs of the first pair with claws; dorsal surface of the body 
sometimes with pits, but never sculptured, its margin unbroken. 
Two species. 
Uropoda discus n. sp. 
Reddish brown; integument more strongly chitinized around the 
margins of the body, and in the region of the sternum and the coxae 
of the legs. 
Body longer than broad with the front margin somewhat flattened 
and the hind margin rather narrowly rounded; with a few minute hairs 
on the dorsal surface. Upper plate of the exoskeleton extending down 
somewhat on the ventral surface at the sides in order to join the 
ventral plate. 
Posterior part of the sternum of the male thickened and containing 
the circular genital opening which is situated immediately between 
the posterior coxae. In front of this posterior thickened area the 
sternum is roughly rectangular but between the second and third 
coxae a lateral angle is produced. Epigynium of female almost two- 
thirds as broad as long, extending from between the second coxae to 
behind the posterior margin of the fourth coxae. It is evenly rounded 
in front and slightly truncate behind. Anus very small and situated 
ut the posterior margin of the abdomen. 
Tarsus of leg I twice as long as tibia, clothed with many straight 
bristles, and ending in a rather long pedicel with minute claws; tibia
