chitinizations behind the place of attachment of trochanteres II, 

 and having the dorsal long prosomatic hair between their branches. 

 We have a rudiment of a small shield which is usual in 

 M e g n i n i a and which I will call omoplatal plates II. — H a i r s. 

 Of the long prosomatic hairs I have already treated. Inward of 

 them , but in the posterior corners of the anterior dorsal shield 

 are planted their accompanying hairs ; these are much smaller, 

 not minute though. On a line which separates the prosoma and 

 metasoma, near the lateral edge of the body, in the weak skin, 

 there is a pair of hairs as long as the width of the body. Inside 

 of the posterior lateral shields there is a third pair of long hairs 

 as long as the width of the body. Behind and a little outside 

 of the posterior angles of the posterior shield, almost before the 

 incision between the exterior and middle abdominal lobes there 

 is a fourth pair of shorter hairs. Finally the posterior edge of 

 the abdomen bears 2 pairs of minute tubercles which are of 

 course the pedestals of the usual 2 pairs of long abdominal edge 

 hairs. On the medial small abdominal lobe a little hole : the 

 former copulation hole, at present probable outlet of odoriferous 

 gland. 



Ventral side (fig. 18). Epimera I proximally united, 

 but not forming a sternum , with distinct and wide external 

 clavicular processes. Epimera II as long as epimera I , distally 

 wider. Epimera III and IV , small , scarcely longer than their 

 trochanter, if any. Shields. Outside of epimera I and II and 

 inside of epimera III and IV there are very narrow rudiments of 

 coxal plates. Epigynium scarcely crescent shaped. Internal 

 genital apparatus a pair of comma shaped rods, directed forward 

 and inward with their tail. Anus terminal. Hairs: a pair 

 of short thin hairs between epimera I and II ; a second pair of 

 ditto inside of epimera III (before proximal end of epimera IV) ; 

 a third pair on the tops of the crescent - shaped epigynium ; a 

 fourth pair on the external ends of the genital apparatus ; a fifth 

 and a sixth pair flanking the ends of the anal split. The lateral 

 hair (before epimera III) is as long as the width of the body 

 and its accessory hair is also long, thin and smooth. 



Mandibles apparently provided with a two-toothed saw 

 (fig. 19). 



Maxillae with wide hypostoma ending in three blunt 

 triangles. Palps with long first article and short crooked and 

 sharply pointed end -article. Medial subapical tubercle distinct. 



Legs. In all ihe legs there is a femorigenu. Legs I : 

 the femoral part of the femorigenu shows ventrally (fig. 18) an 

 external flat inward curved lobe , apparently a clasping - organ.
