Oudemans, Notes on AcarL 51 



€ach other ; with a very short outer epimerite behind trochanter I. 

 Epimera II less curve , extending forward tili trochanter I , and 

 widened here inward, extending backward beyond the epigynium. 

 Epimera III short, slightly curve, convergent forward. Epimera IV 

 longer than trochanter IV , curve , still more convergent forward 

 than epimera III. — S h i e 1 d s. There are real coxal plates III 

 and IV ; these are narrow, more or less triangulär, with concavo 

 inner edge, wider posteriorly. There are also small extra - coxal 

 plates III and IV ; these are more or less quadrangular and reach 

 the lateral edges of the body. — H a i r s. Between epimera II and 

 the proximal ends of epimera I a pair of short and fine hairs. 

 Between the proximal ends of epimera II and the anterior end 

 of the A-shaped chitinous edges of the vulva a pair of ditto. 

 Outside of the genital suckers a pair of ditto. Inside of epimera III 

 and before epimera IV a pair of ditto. Before the two long 

 trailing hairs a pair of marginal ditto. Aside of the anterior 

 end of the anal split a pair of longer fine hairs. Behind the 

 vulva a pair of long hairs extending beyond the anterior end 

 of the anal split. On the anterior edge of extra-coxal plates III 

 the short lateral hairs , and on the lateral margin of the same 

 plates the long lateral hairs, which are a little shorter than the 

 half of the width of the body. Epigynium small , crescent- 

 shaped. The margins of the vulva are well chitinised and 

 form together a A, of which the ends of the branches bear an 

 epimerite like a hook. On these hooks are placed the minute 

 genital suckers. The a n u s touches the posterior edge of 

 the abdomen. 



Mandibles normal (Fig. 14). 



Maxillae normal, with median triangulär under-lip, blunt 

 external malae , and two - jointed palpi , of which each Joint is 

 provided with a dorsal and a ventral hair. On the underside 

 the base of the rostrum is well chitinised and between these 

 chitinisations two smaller ones are discernible. Before these 

 interior knobs a fine line, curved forward, unites the two basal 

 chitinisations. 



Legs (Fig. 14). Legs I : genu dorsally with proximal 

 thorn , and distal tactile hair , ventrally scarcely provided with 

 triangulär outgrow. Tibia dorsally with distal tactile hair, 

 ventrally with sharp and streng triangulär outgrow. Tarsus 

 dorsally with an olfactoric hair between the first and second third 

 part, a tactile hair between the second and third third part, and 

 a distal minute hair ; laterally with two minute distal hairs ; 

 ventrally with a short hair between the first and second third part 

 and a ditto between the second and third third part. Legs II :
