 Pores located abo> <• ba <■ of keels near middle of length of segment and 

 thus widely removed from 1 1 * « - margin; apparently on segments five, 

 seven, nine, ten, twelve, thirteen, and fifteen to seventeen inclu 

 moderately prominent. Tergites all strongly tubercular, the tubercles 

 uniform and extending out over keels, no middoraal series <>f larger 

 tubercles. Last (nineteenth) tergite large, narrowed caudad with 

 sides convex, widely overlapping the valves, dorsal Burface densely 

 tubercular.

Type.— M. C. Z. 4,648. Paratype.— M. C. Z. 4,649. Tas- 

 mania (G. H. Hardy). 



( leneral color brown. Legs and antennae fulvous. 



Head covered above by a median longitudinal sulcus. Surface above level 

 of antennae densely finely granular, the granulations coarser above. 



Tubercles of tergites small, uniform, densely arranged. On average tergites 

 five or six transverse rows of tubercles. Tubercles each with a very short, 

 curved seta. Lateral margin of second tergite with eight or nine crenulations. 

 Other keels normally with four lateral crenuli or lobes of which the anterior 

 tends obviously to recede caudad. Caudal margin of most keels with a single 

 large conical tooth close to the base. Posterior angles of last few keels weakly 

 produced. 



Anal scutum above densely tubercular. Extending beyond valves with the 

 margin extending or clipping down about them. Anal valves smooth; each 

 with two setigerous tubercles situated about midway between mesal and ectal 

 margins.
