78 JAMES WATERSTON. 



lowermost bristles longer, forming a row parallel to the dorsal edge uii apical half oi 

 tibia and then sloping gradually to the lower basal angle ; on the ventral third 

 of the anterior aspect, there is a subventral row (seven to eight) of scattered bristles, 

 and many more below, more closely set, so that twelve to fourteen appear on the 

 ventral edge itself. Mid anterior aspect of tibia bare ; upper apical angle strongly 

 chitinised, with two short peg-like spines ; ventral apical spur five-sevenths of 

 first tarsal joint ; anterior apical comb of seven to eight spines, confined to the 

 ventral half ; one or two of the posterior subapical median bristles much stouter. 

 First tarsal joint ventrally concave ; antero-ventral edge with a closely set comb of 

 twenty-five spines, while on the postero-ventral edge are eight to ten stouter spines, 

 wider apart ; proportions of tarsal joints and claw, 70 : 50 : 35 : 30 : 40+20. 

 Mid legs with the coxa longer than broad (9 : 7), oblong, externally bare and weakly 

 reticulate ; on inside, near the trochanters, an oval patch of minute bristles (about 

 forty) and one or two longer bristles at or near the edges. Trochanter quadrate 

 (6:5), with a patch of bristles above and a transverse row of four longer bristles 

 below. Femur depressed, gradually expanded from base to apex, bare below, except 

 for a median basal row of about six bristles, which ends just beyond the commencement 

 of the median dorsal dark streak (see colour notes) ; apically the femur extends in 

 a flattened edge on each side of the tibia. Tibia apically a little expanded from 

 beyond one-half ; four to six peg-like spines on anterior apical angle, one stronger 

 than the others ; the posterior spine heavy, and as long as the first tarsal joint. 

 The first tarsal joint bears on each side ventrally eleven to thirteen heavy spines, 

 the second four to six, the third one to two, the fourth one ; when these plantar 

 edges are unequally armed, the anterior has the fewer spines ; the proportions of 

 the tarsal joints are, 65 : 55 : 40 : 35 : 50-)- 15. Hind legs with numerous bristles on 

 the outer anterior two-thirds of the coxa, two subapical on the median ridge much 

 longer. Femur posteriorly almost bare, save for a submedian row (fifteen to sixteen) 

 of bristles. Tibia with the posterior apical comb of about twelve spines completely 

 transverse ; the spur one-third of the first tarsal joint ; the posterior subapical spines 

 somewhat stout. Proportions of tarsal joints, 120 : 65 : 45 : 40 : 50+20. 



Abdomen : On drying after immersion in spirit (in which the hind edges of the 

 tergites are nearly invisible) the abdomen shrinks considerably and its true shape 

 becomes debatable. In life it is probably broader on the whole, and widest more 

 posteriorly than in Mr. Terzi's carefully executed figure. The apparent length of 

 the tergites indicated are, through overlapping, somewhat different from the 

 proportions of the same sclerites dissected ofi and measured in balsam. First 

 and second tergites weak, almost membranous ; the first most deeply incised, 

 the succeeding tergites merely sinuate. Tergites 1 to 5 bare medianly, save 

 for a transverse median row of seven to eight very short bristles, which are not 

 developed on 1 and 2. On the pleural flaps, tergite 1 bears a patch of bristles 

 anteriorly and a short row behind ; tergite 2 has only a few posterior bristles at the 

 sides ; all the overlaps of tergites 3 to 5 are covered with closely set, short bristles. 

 The posterior two-thirds of tergite 6, and all of tergite 7, covered with bristles. 

 The spiracle is minute and circular, the stylet oval, with four long bristles. St emit es 



1 to 5 medianly more or less membranous, and posteriorly incised. Sternite 1 bare ; 



2 to 4 with a posterior row of about twelve bristles, and other shorter ones in front ;
