A. C. OUDEMANS, NOTES ON ACART. 239 
Jugular shields (fig. 2) small, low-triangular. Sterno- 
metasternal shield broadest between coxae II and III, 
posteriorly pointed between coxae IV, provided with the three 
pairs of sternal and one pair of metasternal hairs. 
Behind the two genital hairs (between coxae IV) there isa 
pair of small round shields which I consider as rudiments of 
the genital shield. Anal shield oval, top forward; 
anus in the middle of it; small, flanked and followed by the 3 
small circumanal hairs; cribrium narrow. Inguinal shields 
small, elongate oval. Peritrematal shields rudimental, 
only discernible around the stigma, with a triangular pro- 
longation backward. Pedal shields rudimental, only 
represented by small pieces before the coxae II, and between 
coxae II and III. Hairs: all the hairs on the ventral side 
are bristles; besides the already mentioned hairs we observe 
from each rudiment of the genital shield to the anal shield a 
row of 5 hairs; from each coxa IV to the anal shield a row 
of 9 hairs; from each inguinal shield to the edge of the 
abdomen behind the anal shield a row of 6 hairs; then a 
smaller row of 5 hairs; followed by a ditto of 6 hairs; then 
following the edge of the abdomen on each side a row of 
about 16 hairs; finally aside of the inguinal shields and 
close to the edge of the abdomen a group of about 7 hairs ; 
so that on the whole belly there are about 54 pairs of 
hairs. 
Epistoma (fig. 7); there is no demarcation of the median 
cephalic streak and the maxillar-coxae; we observe only a 
very fine marking of a double V behind the free epistoma, 
and about 8 radiating lines in the anterior corner of the 
latter, the anterior edge of which may vary slightly (fig. 
8—10), but may be described as having one rounded large 
median mucro and two very small lateral ones, which on 
their turn may be rounded or sharply pointed. Styli (fig. 7) 
normal, long.
