clavate bristles, those of the posterior marginal row rather widely set, scar- 

 spots moderately distinct, interstitial membrane of dorsum wrinkled almost 

 granulate, bristles of sternites vii.-xi. moderately clavate, tergite-sternite xi. 

 without tactile hairs ; galea (?) moderately long, distally with small pro- 

 cesses ; palps ( ? ) femur less robust than in preceding species, not quite as 

 broad as the tibia, more than three times as long as broad (about o'd), in front 

 with slight elevation from stalk and beyond middle faintly concave, above 

 rising from stalk less abruptly than in preceding species, behind also the 

 increase is less abrupt obliquely convex without obvious proximo-posterior 

 corner, and beyond this the outline is gently convex to the extremity ; tibia 

 in front rising gently from stalk and only a little convex, behind beyond 

 stalk nearly straight then moderately convex ; hand compared with that of 

 preceding species a little broader at base descending a little more gently to 

 fingers, movable finger about equal to or slightly shorter than hand ; anterior

margin of fingers with an isolated accessory tooth ; the palp is rather strongly 

 granulate ; bristles of palp short, for most part moderately clavate ; lower 

 face of maxillae granulate ; coxae iv. ( 5 ) broad, posterior margin longer than 

 inner ; legs iv. tibia and tarsus without tactile hairs. $ (compared with ? ) 

 with galea poorly developed ; palps (fig. 2) a little shorter much more slender : 

 femur increasing more gently from stalk, about 3-4 as long as broad ; tibia 

 behind beyond stalk and before distal convexity faintly concave; hand narrower 

 and more parallel ; fingers not closing with wider gape ; coxae iv. somewhat 

 less broad at base, posterior margin longer in proportion to inner. L. 2-3.
