Legs I and II like in the nympha. Legs III as long as 
two thirds of the body, slender; gradually tapering toward 
the end; its femur as long as the trochanter ; caruncle minute. 
Legs IV shaped like leg III, but femur much shorter than 
trochanter IV ; caruncle minute. 
Female (Fig. 50, 51). Length 400 g. Colour pale 
yellow. Shape the usual one of females of Analges or 
Mégninia. Texture of the shields smooth, of the soft skin

II, like in the female. Anterior lateral shields long, rather 
narrow, posteriorly rapidly pointed, moreover with almost 
parallel sides. Middle and posterior lateral shields like in the 
nympha. Posterior dorsal shield nearly four times longer than 
wide; its anterior end pointed and on a line with the anterior 
ends of the middle lateral shields, its posterior edge concave 
and almost in the centre of the abdomen (the part behind 
legs IV); its sides sinuous. Hairs: The anterior pair of 
long hairs are planted in the omoplatal shields II ; inside of 
these are planted the smaller accompanying pair. The second 
pair of long hairs is planted in the soft skin, inside of poster- 
ior third part of the anterior lateral shields. The third pair 
is planted on the lateral margins of the posterior dorsal shield, 
on the limit of first and second third part. The fourth and
