MR. B. F. CUMMINGS ON LICE 



antennse. The coxee on the same side are contiguous, but widely 

 separated from those of the other side. Femora short and very- 

 convex in the postaxial margin. Abdomen : Broad, globose. 

 The tip of the copulatory apparatus projects from the tip of a 

 long, stout, genital papilla shaped like a finger and terminating 

 the abdomen. It lies between two smaller processes which 

 project only a little, and are formed by the pleurites of the last 

 segment. Dorsally there are five transverse strips of light brown 

 chitin forming the tergite on each of segments 3 to 7, the anterior 

 ones most clearly delimited.

lAnognathus pitlwdes, ?. Ventral surface, showing gonopods. X 46'5. 



External Form. Female. — Abdomen : A little longer and 

 narrower than in the male. Tergites absent. As in the female 

 of L. tibialis, L. fahrenholzi and others, the end of the abdomen 

 is drawn out into a pair of processes, which in this species are 

 quite short and project only a little beyond the terminal tergum.
