Chesnut, marked with lighter and darker; a black median line, a 

 row of spots on each side, antenna} dark brown, feet pale. Rather 

 robust, attenuated before, but only slightly behind, not smooth. Ver- 

 tex with a very slight median sulcus, no foveolae, a little roughened- 

 Antenna? filiform, moderately pilose, not equaling the breadth of body. 

 Ocelli arranged in an elliptical form, in seven series, rather small, 45-48. 

 Segments 46-47 ; the first broadly rounded and produced before, straight 

 behind, angles rounded, sides striate, other segments moderately striate 

 beneath, those of the praescuta very oblique, being nearly straight up 

 and down, while the others are but slightly oblique. Repugnatorial 

 opening small, situated near the anterior border, transverse line bend- 

 ing before it. Anal segment with a long, robust spine, which projects 

 beyond the anal valves; anal valves not pilose, scarcely marginate; 

 anal scale short, broadly rounded. Pairs of feet 75-80, rather long. 

 Length of body 25 mm . 



Habitat. — Fort Snelling, Minnesota (VV. L>. Howe). 



I have two females in my private collection.

 (6 : 4) ; coxa unarmed ; the tooth blunt, short. Cephalic lamina longer 

 than wide (7 : 5), sparsely hirsute, rather smooth, sides scarcely rounded ;
