Proboscis very short and blunt ; length about three-fourths its 

 own diameter; anterior corners rounded (fig. 10). 



No eyes apparent; eye tubercle low, situated above and 

 between lateral proces.ses of legs I, distant about its own diameter 

 from posterior border of segment (fig. 11). 



Caudal segment short, with very little elevation; anus in a 

 notch at the end. Length of caudal segment about equal to its 

 own diameter, or to length of coxa I of leg IV; inserted above 

 the fourth body segment, its anterior end marking the division 

 between body segments three and four. 



Chelif ori stout ; chelae finely dentate ; shaft short, length one 

 and one-half times its own diameter, shorter than chelae ; proxi- 

 mal to shaft the basal segments of the two chelifori appear grown 

 together forming a transverse ridge anteriorly above the proboscis 

 and extending forward over half the length of the latter (figs. 

 10, 11). 



Palpi wanting. 



Oviger 10-jointed; the four terminal joints spirally rolled 

 and with a row of flat denticulate spines on inside edge of spiral. 

 No terminal claw ; first three joints very short ; fourth about as 

 long as first three together; fifth joint the longest, with a pro- 

 tuberance on distal end directed opposite to spiral of terminal 

 joints, as high as three-fourths of joint. Two simple curved 

 hairs, one at tip of protuberance and the other distally and at 

 the base of same. Terminal five joints short and sub-equal in 

 length, their diameter diminishing slightly in order (fig. 13). 



Legs rather slender, no protuberances evident; first coxae 

 about as long as their own diameters ; coxae II about three times 

 as long and slightly clavate; coxae III about one and one-half 

 times the length of coxae I. Femora about equal in length to 

 combined length of coxae I, II, and III. First tibial joints not 

 quite as long as femora; second tibial joints about as long as 

 femora, but with slightly smaller diameter. Tibial joints with 

 scattering hairs. Tarsus (fig. 12) a little less than half as long 

 as second tibial joints. Terminal claws a little over half the 

 length of tarsus. Auxiliary claws two-thirds as long as terminal 

 claws. Several simple hairs on distal end of tarsus. Spines on 

 "sole" are very stout, especially so near the "heel". A sparse
