  to 
  a 
  third

   convex, 
  very 
  deeply 
  punctato-striate 
  with 
  the 
  intervals 
  between 
  

   each 
  duplicate 
  series 
  of

  each 
  abdominal 
  

   segment 
  has 
  a

  median 
  row 
  of

  shorter 
  ones 
  in 
  

   the 
  female 
  ;

   inner 
  claw 
  of 
  the
