This curiously structured species of which three specimens, 

 ail apparently males, were obtained, seems to possess all the 

 characters of Baly's genus Paridea and agrees with it also in 

 shape, the last abdominal segment is trilobate at the apex, the 

 middle lobe being flat without depression.
