Female. (Fig. 44, 45). Length, measured on 7 specim- 
ens, from 424—480 u. Form elongate, nearly three times 
longer than wide ; with nearly parallel sides, posteriorly rounded. 
Colour pale with darker anterior dorsal shield. Texture 
smooth in the shields (which moreover are porate); finely 
wrinkled in the weak parts. 
Dorsal side (Fig. 44). Shields. There is only one 
shield; it is the anterior dorsal one. This is elongate, with 
parallel sides, more than twice longer than wide, a little 
wider than the head, and a little widened between the proso- 
matie hairs, rounded posteriorly ; its sides are strongly chitin- 
ized. Hairs. There is a pair of minute vertical hairs a 
considerable distance from the anterior edge of the shield. 
The long prosomatic hairs as long as the width of the body, 
close to the widened posterior part of the shield. The inner 
prosomatic hairs are minute and planted between the long ones 
and the shield. A little behind the shield and submarginal a 
pair of minute hairs. At the level of trochanteres IV a pair 
of minute submedial hairs. Behind the top of legs IV a mar- 
ginal pair of minute hairs; and quite posteriorly two pairs 
of minute hairs. Copulation hole quite posteriorly ina 
shallow pit. 
Ventral side (Fig. 45). Epimera I free, long, cur- 
ved inward. Epimera II much shorter, curved inward. Epi- 
mera III and IV equal in length to II, curved slightly out- 
ward. Epimera III between the sides of the body and the 
median line. Epimera IV submedial, about in the middle of 
the length of the body, thus far forward. Behind trochanteres 
II there is a small epimerite. This epimerite is the anterior
