 more dorsal and ventral hairs, segment 8 longer than segments 3-7 ; a distinct uncol- 

 ored line in the posterior margin of segment 7 ; genitalia strongly chitinized, con- 

 spicuous, extending through segments 2-9 ; last segment rounding with two long

Head, length .38 mm.; width .58 mm.; front flatly rounded, with a short hair 

 each side of the median line ; a few on the margin in front of the antenna; which 

 extend beyond the head by the full length of the last segment ; one very long hair 

 and two shorter ones in front of the ocular emargination ; emargination deep and 

 acutely angular ; eye large, nearly divided with a conspicuous black fleck in the 

 larger anterior part ; ocular fringe distinct and with few graduated hairs ; temples 

 gradually widening to the rounding posterior angles ; many hairs of irregular length 

 on the anterior half of the temples ; two very long and a tew short hairs and spines 

 in the posterior angle ; occipital margin concave with a long hair and a short spine 

 each side of the median line ; color of the head golden brown, with large ocular 

 blotches and triangular occipital blotches of dark blackish i)rown connected by a band 

 of paler brown ; an even band of dark brown connects the triangular occipital blotches ;
