 b, female, enlarged (original) 



rather numerous low strongly convolute circumfili. Palpi with i 

 to 3 segments. The terminal clasp segment of the male genitalia

 thirteenth with a length scarcely greater than its diameter, and the 

 fourteenth subglobose or even reduced to a small disk, the circum- 

 fili consisting of a low band near the basal third or fourth, the branches 

 produced on one side and fused to form a longitudinal filum which 

 unites with a low apical circumfilum. Ovipositor with a distinct
