5 , The apical mai'gin of the seventh sfcernite is slanting and more 

 or less undulating, the two sides not being exactly alike. The 

 ventral angle of this sternite projects more or less strongly and is 

 sometimes almost pointed (text-fig. 108, YII. st.). The eighth 

 tergite (VIII. t.) bears on each side only 4 to 7 small bristles above 

 the stigma, and below it one long one accompanied by one to four 

 small ones. There are 12 bristles on the lower half of the 

 segment as shown in the drawing (text-fig. 108). The apical 

 margin is angulate below the centre and the upper angle more or

less rounded off. The ninth sternite — more or less membranaceous 

 and lying inside the eight tergite — bears some small hairs. The 

 stylet is almost cylindrical and bears one bristle beside the apical 

 one. The anal sternite has 4 very long bristles at and near 

 the apex and proximally to them, on the underside, about 6 heavy 

 spine-like bristles, besides a number of short lateral and ventral 

 bristles, of which some are thin and others stout. The i-ecepta- 

 culum seminis (text-fig. 108) is slender, the head being shorter than 

 the tail.
