Oudemans, Notes on Acari. 47 



triangulär outgrows more developed than in the larva. Legs I : 

 genu with a short proximal hair and a long distal one ; tibia 

 with a long distal tactile hair ; tarsus with a curved olfactoric 

 hair in the middle of the proximal half and three short distal 

 hairs. In my figure leg I is drawn stretched straight forward, 

 so that the ventral triangulär outgrows of genu and tibia are 

 invisible ; so too the S - shape of the tarsus is indiscernible. 

 Legs II : femur with a very short dorsal hair and a long ventral 

 one ; genu ditto ; tibia with a long distal tactile hair ; tarsus 

 slightly S-shaped , dorsally with a proximal short olfactoric hair 

 and a distal short hair, ventrally with a proximal long hair and 

 a shorter hair in the middle, laterally with two very short distal 

 hairs. Legs III: genu and tibia each with a distal tactile hair; 

 tarsus with a short inner lateral hair and two short lateral distal 

 hairs. Legs- IV : tibia with a distal tactile hair ; tarsus with 

 two distal lateral short hairs. Praetarsi wide and curve 

 ventralward. Ambulacral suckers small. 



Deutonympha (Fig. 12 — 13). Length 240—320 //. — 

 C 1 ur pale, though slightly darker than protonympha. Shape 

 more or less oblong quadrangular , laterally however distinctly 

 constricted opposite to femora III ; and posteriorly with a median 

 more or less concave edge and two oblique lateral edges ; body 

 exactly twice longer than wide. Texture of the shields smooth 

 and finely porate, of the soft skin finely wrinkled. 



Dorsal side (Fig. 12). Shields. Anterior shield 

 trapezoidal , twice longer than the greatest width ; posteriorly 

 widest, with slightly concave lateral and posterior edges. Shoulder- 

 shields with convex posterior edge. Hairs. Vertical hairs close 

 together, fine, extending beyond the tips of the mandibles. Long 

 prosomatic hairs as long as the width of the body , planted in 

 the posterior corners of the anterior shield. Short prosomatic 

 hairs minute , inside of the long ones. A considerable distance 

 behind the Shoulder -shields a pair of short stiff bristles. On a 

 line with femora III a pair of ditto , between the edge of the 

 body and the median line. A third pair of ditto submarginal, 

 near the posterior angles of the abdomen. On the posterior 

 margin, near the median line a pair of very short and fine hairs. 

 Quite on the posterior edge three pairs of hairs , of which the 

 outmost one very short and fine, the middle one nearly as long as 

 the body, and the inmost one as long as the width of the body. 



Ventral side (Fig. 13). Epimera I long, extending 

 forward reaching the base of the head , wide apart ; epimera II 

 long, extending forward tili trochanteres I, parallel to epimera I ; 

 epimera HI and IV short, thick, proximally nodded and distally
