extremity, four or five reddish spines forming row on inner portion 
of shaft, under surface of shaft presenting a longitudinal line of dark 
brownish-black, becoming wide at extremity ; femur and tibia covered 
witb pale yellow hairs, some exceedingly long ; tarsus cylindrical becom- 
ing slightly swollen at end, color deep brownish-black, thickly set with 
hairs, some delicate and long, on the under surface very short stumpy 
hairs appear, extremity furnished with retractile organ covered with a 
double lip. 
Labial Palpus. The first joint of the labial palpus is subcylindrical, 
nearly as long as first joint of maxilla, to which it is closely adherent, 
43 mm. in length, second joint short cylindrical, trapezoidal in form, third 
joint. same length as second, rhomboidal in form, first three joints together 
8 mm., fourth joint more slender, slightly bent, 6 mm., fifth joint 7 mm., 
sixth joint straight and thinner, 4 mm., seventh joint still thinner and 
shorter, 3mm. Anterior surface of first joint clothed with short stiff bris- 
tles of reddish color, rest of surface covered with fine pale hairs, as com- 
pared to the maxille the labial palpi are very slender, shorter by 8 mm. 
Covered with abundant hairs, some of extreme thinness and silky, quite 
long. 
Thorax small and weak, first segment attached to head closely, pale 
reddish hairs radiate from this juncture, other two segments appear con- 
tinuous with abdomen but of shorter diameter, on either side and at point 
of attachment with head are whitish folds of skin. Each segment sparsely 
covered with pale hairs. The under surface presents three pairs of basal 
joints, which are immovable, first pair separated by deep groove from 
basal plate of labial palpi, separated from each other by a slight median 
groove, second and third pairs of basal joints closer together, divided from 
first pair by a deep transverse groove, first pair directed transversely 
across, second pair inclining obliquely backwards, third pair trifle more 
obliquely backwards, triangular space left between last pair connecting 
with abdomen pale whitish. 
Legs. First pair of legs 23 mm., shortest stout, first joint short, fixed, 
quadrangular in outline, rounded, separated by a median indentation from 
its fellow on opposite side, clothed with short broken-off bristles on anterior 
surface, second joint same length, subtriangular, short reddish bristly hairs 
on under surface, third joint longer than second, trapezoidal, bending up- 
wards, fourth joint (femur) longer than third, more cylindrical, bending 
upwards, fifth joint (tibia) longer and thinner, pends downwards, sixth 
joint (metatarsus) shorter and weaker than tibia, bends downwards, tar- 
sus one-third as long as metatarsus, two curved palish white claws articu- 
late at extremity, sharp at points which appear red and constricted. Sec- 
ond pair of legs like the first with additional joint wedged in between 
second and third joints, length 29} mm. Metatarsus of first feet with row 
of five short red spines on dorsal surface, one more on outer extremity of 
tibia which forms a continuous line with the preceding ones, also an im- 
perfect row, three in number on inner side of metatarsus. Metatarsus of 
second feet with five reddish spines on dorsal surface, continuous with two
