of the tibiae, rather short, three-jointed, apical joint longest, second short- 

 est ; posterior legs very stout, rather short ; femora very broad, some- 

 what compressed ; tibire very short, sparingly spinous on the outside, 

 much enlarged and abruptly truncated at the extremity, forming a large 

 oval disc, surrounded by closely set spines ; these spines at the extremity 

 of the inner margin run in a single oblique line across the inner surface 

 of the tibiae, towards the upper margin and in the angle formed by 

 this row of spines with the truncated posterior margin, the tarsi are 

 inserted, and lie so concealed by the ring of spines surrounding this mar- 

 gin as to elude detection except upon a very close examination ; the 

 tarsi are short, three- jointed, the apical joint largest, the basal joint very 

 little longer than the second (Dallas).
