The cephalotliorax, which is as long as the patella and tibia of the fourth pair of 

 legs, is convex, longer than broad, truncate in front, and only slightly rounded at the 

 sides. There are no cephalic depressions and only a short, narrow, longitudinal 

 fovea near the posterior end. 



Both rows of eyes are straight, those of the rear-row and laterals of the front-row 

 equal in size, the front-median somewhat larger. The rear-median eyes are two and a 

 half times their diameter apart and one and a half times from their laterals, a rear- 

 eye's breadth distant from the front-median, which are the same distance from one 

 another and three-quarters that distance from their laterals. The clypeus is one-half 

 the breadth of a front-median eye. 



The mandibles are conical, geniculate at the base, as long as the breadth of the front 

 of the cephalothorax, with long slightly curved fangs. The falces are thickly covered

with hair and long upstanding bristles. On the inner margin of the falx-sheath are 

 three evenly sized teeth, and on the outer margin one, broader than any of these, 

 between two quite small. 



The maxillse are upright, rounded anteriorly, broadest near the front end, incurved 

 on the outer margin as well as round the lip on the inner, where there is a hollow in 

 the margin itself. The insertion of the palpal trochanter is near the base, which is 

 rounded. 



The lip is at least twice as long as broad, truncate in front. The upper half 

 is hollowed in the middle, with a slightly raised edge at the sides. The lower half is 

 distinctly convex from the base up. Instead of being cut away at the outer edges of
