level of pleural surface, sel off from above by ;i deep sulcus in the

Dorsum deep chocolate to black, lower pleural and the ventral regions paler, 

 ferruginous to testaceous. Antennae like dorsum, legs blackish or dark 

 brown, proximally paler. 



Ycrtigial sulcus deep, extending ventrad to a little above the level of the 

 antenna! sockets, the sulcus at bottom of a wider furrow or depression. Face 

 with numerous long straight setae, these above level of antennae fewer, along 

 sides of median sulcus. 



First tergite with each lateral end rounded, the anterior corner more widely 

 so than the posterior; above each lateral margin with a deep longitudinal 

 furrow, margined below and a little ways up anterior side. Other tergites 

 smooth and shining, the prozonites very finely coriarious, the metazonites 

 smooth excepting in some certain obscure longitudinal rugae toward each side 

 and more particularly caudad of the transverse sulcus. Metazonites from the 

 fourth to the eighteenth inclusive with a deep transverse sulcus which ends on 

 each side well above the level of the keels. Longitudinal sulci limiting keels 

 above deep and sharply defined. 



Anal scutum narrowed caudad in the usual manner, the cauda rather wide 

 and flattened dorsoventrally, not at all subcylindrical, the caudal margin 

 truncate or mesally slightly notched. Dorsal surface, especially caudad of 

 middle, obscurely transversely rugose; with two transverse series of setae 

 additional to those projecting from caudal end, one near middle and one a 

 little in front of caudal border. Anal valves sharply defined mesally. Anal 

 scale caudally convexly rounded, convexly elevated between the two setigerous 

 tubercles. 



Length (female), to near 16 mm.; width, 2.5 mm. The males more slender, 

 the width of a specimen 15 mm. long being near 1.8 mm.
