The bristles on the sternites II to VII number on the two 

 sides together 2, 8, 7, 7, 8, 9, there being no short bristles in front 

 of the row. The eighth tergite is similar to the figure given by 

 Dampf of that segment of A. dcea, but the bristles near the upper 

 edge are more numerous and those on the side less numerous. 

 The eighth sternite (text-fig. 118) is more densely hairy than in 

 A. dcea, the hairs at the inner side of the margin being very 

 numerous, thin a,nd more or less wavy, while those on the outer 

 side are longer and thicker, the longest hairs being longer than 

 the eighth sternite. The clasper (CI) is less broad than in 

 Dampf's figure and its upper margin more distinctly incurved,

the portion beyond the insertion of the movable process being 

 consequently slenderer than in ^. dcea. The finger itself (F) bears 

 the same armature as in A. dcea, but is altogether slenderer, and 

 at the apex distinctly narrowed, not widened as in ^. dcea. The 

 ninth sternite (IX. st.) is not at all the same as in A. dcea. The 

 apical third of the horizontal arm is very narrow, its top is more 

 strongly chitinized, and bears a short, proximally thick, terminal 

 bristle on each side ; the distribution of the fine hairs may be 

 gathered from the figure. 



The bristles of the abdomen and legs are more numerous than
