margin and separated behind the eyemound from area I by a deep 
curved transverse groove. Areas I-IV clearly distinguished by 
straight transverse grooves which only extend to a pronounced 
lateral longitudinal ridge which merges posteriorly with area V.

and coarsely granulate, but each with a well separated median 
pair of small spines. Area V and free tergites I-III each with a 
single transverse row of small spines. Posterior sternites with a 
single transverse row of small granules; anterior sternites fused 
with eoxae IV. Spiracle concealed beneath the postero-distal mar- 
gin of coxa IV. Genital operculum very small, provided with a 
small emarginate lip. Sternum narrowly triangular. 
Pedipalps. Slender, spination as in Fig. 44. 
Chelicerae. Small. Disto-dorsal surface of basal segment 
swollen and strongly granulate. Second segment smooth. 
Legs. Coxa IV large, more than twice the size of coxae I-IV. 
Coxa I with a smooth oblique notch on the antero-lateral margin, 
lined at each side with a row of granules, into which the trochanter 
of the pedipalp fits when at rest. Coxae II-IV closely granulate 
below and with a row of granules along the antero-lateral margin. 
Legs faintly granulate. Caleaneus very small. Tarsal formula 6, 
6, 6, 7. Distotarsi of legs I and II both three-segmented. Tarsal
