  at 
  the

  (In 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  

   paratypes 
  the 
  basal 
  bands 
  do 
  not 
  show 
  on 
  the

  probably 
  owing 
  to 
  shrinkage 
  

   of

  only 
  very 
  

   narrowly

  the 
  joint 
  

   between 
  the 
  third

  fourth 
  ; 
  hind 
  tarsi 
  with 
  similar

  rather 
  broader 
  

   than

  a 
  few 
  pale 
  scales.

  understand 
  

   that 
  the 
  ventral 
  abdominal 
  tufts 
  in 
  that 
  species 
  are 
  extremely 
  long, 
  which 
  is
