delicate spines without papillae. In the male the genital 

 apertures occur on the second coxae of the two posterior 

 paii"s at the apices of large genital tubercle. Femur is 

 stout, expanded a,t distal end, a little shorter than the com- 

 bined coxee. The femoral gland ends on a well marked pa- 

 pilla situated distally and bearing a prominent spine. Some 

 small spines occur with occasional longer ones on the dorsal 

 siu'face. First tibia is also short and expanded armed in 

 a similar fashion to the femur, to which it is about equal 

 in length. The second tibia is stout, slightly curved, and 

 about equal to each of the two preceding segments. The 

 tarsus is small with a single dorsal spine and a ventral 

 bunch of hairs. Propodus is stout, curved, sole being orna- 

 mented proximally with three large spines separated by a 

 space, for the rest with about five or six spines which de- 

 CTease in size towards extremity. Terminal claw is stout 

 and curved, less than half the length of the propodus. 

 Auxiliary claws are well developed. 



Genital openings (male) are situated on genital tuber- 

 cles on the two posterior pairs of limbs.
