 the sides strongly and broadly elevated in the proximal half, the 

 median sulcus slight and only perceptible in apical half; furcula con- 

 sisting of a pair of broad flattened plates slightly more than twice as 

 long as broad, reaching to the middle of the supraanal plate, beyond 

 the middle roundly and obliquely emarginate on the inner side, apically 

 roundly and obli(inely truncate exteriorly; cerci moderately broad at 

 base, almost immediately tapering rapidly by the excisicm of the upper 

 margin, so that the distal three-fourths forms a compressed subecpial 

 finger, barely expanding at the tip. the exterior surface slightly 

 imi)ressed or subsulcate apically, the whole straight, except for being 

 slightly bent inward near the middle, failing to reach the tip of the 

 suDraanal plate; subgeuital plate forming a regular well rounded 

 flaring scoop, the margin nowhere elevated, entire, the plate consider-
