  three 
  intervals 
  are 
  impunctate 
  and 
  

   scaly, 
  the 
  two 
  discoidal 
  bands 
  are 
  entire, 
  but 
  the 
  outer 
  one 
  reaches 
  

   from 
  the 
  base 
  to 
  the 
  median 
  part 
  only 
  ;

  glabrous,

  with 
  the 
  trochanters 
  produced 
  into 
  a 
  short 
  but 
  sharp 
  

   spine, 
  somewhat 
  excavated 
  under 
  the 
  knee, 
  and 
  dentate 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  

   of 
  the 
  excavation, 
  the 
  articulation 
  of 
  the 
  knee 
  is 
  rounded 
  on 
  each 
  

   side,

  set 
  in 
  a 
  line, 
  apical 
  mucro 
  

   not 
  much 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  apex

  is 
  somewhat 
  

   truncate

  This 
  pretty 
  species 
  has 
  no 
  ally. 
  Owing 
  to 
  its 
  more 
  elongate 
  facies 
  

   it 
  somewhat 
  resembles 
  a 
  Gymnoloma.
