somewhat Y form. Last ventral plate very harrow; its anterior 
border triangular; caudal margin straight or nearly so; sides moder- 
ately converging caudad, straight; plate 2.33-++ times longer than 
' greatest width. 
Tergite of last pediferous segment with sides substraight and only 
slightly converging caudad; caudal margin weakly convex. Plate 
only two thirds as wide as long. Last prescutum long and rather 
narrow. 
Coxopleurae inflated and much elongate, crowding cephalad toward 
bases of penult legs. Densely porose with numerous small pores as 
shown in the figures. . | 
Anal legs very much longer and more robust than the penult; 
proportionately slender, the articles decreasing regularly in diameter 
from the femur distad. Articles from the prefemur to the first tarsal 
inclusive somewhat clavately enlarging distad; second tarsal article 
of nearly uniform diameter or a little decreasing in width distad. At 
end of second tarsal, joint a minute, membranous but clearly sepa- 
rated, appendage or article bearing short hairs. 
Anterior legs more robust than those of the posterior region. 
Pairs of legs 79. 
Length 52-58 mm.

Dorsum ochraceous, the head nearly of same color. Antennae and 
legs yellow. 
Head 1.55 times longer than wide. A little widest near caudal end © 
of the frontal region, though only slightly narrowing caudad. Sides 
straight or nearly so back to the rounded caudal corners. Anterior — | 
margin substraight. Caudal margin straight. Basal plate much ~ 
covered by the head and the first dorsal plate, the exposed portion 
being fully six times as wide as long. he 
Antennae rather thick, a little attenuated distad; three times 
longer than the head. Ultimate article much shorter than the two 
preceding articles taken together, being only about three fourths as 
long. 
eS! of prehensors stout; when closed extending widely beyond 
front margin of the head as usual. Claw armed at base with the usual 
stout, conical black tooth. Femuroid bearing at its distal end a 
black tooth somewhat stouter than that of the claw, the tooth conical,
