CYPA. 219' 



" $. Anal tergite (x. t) not divided, ending with a simple, 

 long, narrow, subcylindrical process which is curved downwards 

 (fig. 53 B, C), the narrow portion being almost straight in lateral 

 aspect (fig. 53 C). No anal sternite. Clasper (fig. 53 D) 

 ventrally with two rather strongly swollen tubercles, somewhat 

 like condyli {us and Is) ; from dorsal margin a long sub basal 

 process (ap) projects into the cavity of clasper, the process 

 being slender, slightly claviform and a little curved, bearing 

 at apex a variable number of teeth ; this process arises from 

 a dorsal arch (ar) which distally divides into an anterior low 

 ridge (rar) and a posterior flat process, which Avidens dorsally 

 and gradually narrows ventrally into a long sharp beak 

 that sometimes reaches to the ventral margin of clasper ; 

 this process {dp) absent in the allied known species. Penis- 

 sheath (fig. 53 E) close to apex, with a long, transversely 

 directed, smooth process which gradually narrows to a sharp 

 point ; no armature on the other side. 



" $. In front of the sexual orifice (fig. 53 F, va) a Ioav ridge 

 which is somewhat wrinkled ; behind the orifice a large 

 smooth plate (viii. st) which has a smooth distal margin, 

 bears an indication of an impressed median longitudinal line, 

 and has proximally a slight tubercle at each side of middle 

 line. Eighth tergite (viii. t) medianly divided, a large sub- 

 triangular cavity being formed which narrows proximally : 

 margin of segment, on apical side of cavity, strongly folded 

 or smooth, the folding being probably due to shrinkage. The 

 contrast between this tergite and the simple one of G. pallens 

 is very remarkable " (Roths. & Jord., 1931).
