glossy, with nearly simple bristles. Cephalothorax granulate at sides and 



weakly so over dorsum of thorax, dorsum of head scarcely granulate, second 



groove perceptibly indicated ; abdominal tergites non-granulate, rather strongly

lower protuberances much developed, both projecting posteriorly, and hoih 



with marked proximo-posterior corner, which in lower protuberance is little 



if at all rounded ; anterior margin of fingers with an isolated accessory tooth ; 



the palp is granulate, with small part of femur and part of tibia and hand 



smooth or nearly so ; lower face of maxillae smooth ; coxae IV. (?) moderately 



short and broad ; legs IV. tibia with tactile hair near extremity, tactile hair
