<;egment rather slender, strongiv cur\-ed at the apical third and bear- 

 ing a Ion?, slightlv cur\-ed apical spine. Qaspette an inconspic- 

 uous tubercular setose basal enlargement with a stout, chitinous 

 spine at its ventral margin. There is also a large, setaceous sub- 

 apical lobe on the ventral segment. Harpes quite long, the setose 

 basal portion extending to the middle of the basal clasp s^moit; 

 apical portion smooth, bladelike and usuaUy with a pronounced 

 angle on its posterior edge. Harpagones stout, curved and termi- 

 nating in a stout, recurved, chitinous spine. Unci fused, expanded 

 anteriorly, gentlv tapering posteriorlv to obliquely rounded dentate 

 apexes separated bv a broadly excavated space. Setaceous lobes 

 well developed and bearing six or seven stout, chitinous spines. 



The structure of these organs appears to be somewhat variable 

 in this species, this being particularly true of the claspette, which 

 appears to be rudimentarv in some individuals and also of the 

 terminal portion of the harpes, which is apparently quite variable
