 on tarsi; sternum pale yellow-brown, dark on margin; abdomen dark gray

 E. ; A. M. E. about diameter apart, not one-half so far from slightly larger 

 A. S. E. Quadrangle of M. E. much broader behind than in front; S. E. 

 separate by about one-half diameter, equal. Sternum broadest at coxae 11, 

 pointed behind, and but little longer than broad. Under tibiae i and 11 after 

 the large spines, are several pairs of minute spines. Abdomen nearly twice 

 as long as broad, truncate at base, pointed behind.

 row strongly recurved, P. M. E. about diameter apart, almost twice as far 

 from the much larger P. S. E., S. E. equal, P. M. E. scarcely oval, and 

 rather larger than the A. M. E. Legs not very long, very hairy, under tibiae 

 I and II usually a median spine and a pair at tip, metatarsi i and 11 with 2-1 

 spines beneath, tibiae 11 and iv without spines above; sternum moderately 

 broad, pointed behind; abdomen rounded at base, not much depressed.
