dorsal surface deep brown , keels a little paler ; lateral surface brown , 

 pale just above the legs; legs and lower surface pale. 



Head hairy below, smooth and sulcate above. Antennae elongate, 

 incrassate. 



First tergite convex , without trace of keel , with the anterior border 

 nearly straight and not directly continuous with the lateral border 

 which is well-developed. Second tergite with its keel well developed, 

 below the level of the margin of the first and the keel of the third, 

 anteriorly and posteriorly produced. The keels of the third and fourth 

 quadrate ; those of the rest just above the middle of the side , small , 

 with scarcely any anterior border or angle, the posterior angle spini- 

 form, the lateral border uneven, bearing a small anterior spine and 

 having the position of the pore well marked ; the spine of the posterior 

 angle projecting very slightly beyond the posterior border of the dorsal 

 surface. The transverse sulcus very deep and long, extending from 

 keel to keel, beginning on the sixth. The dorsal surface shining but 

 not smooth, rugose and furnished with an anterior and a posterior 

 series of setiferous punctures. The anterior furrow lightly sculptured. 

 The lateral surface granular at the anterior end of the body, becoming 

 smooth posteriorly. The inferior keel absent, represented as far as the 

 fifth or sixth somite by a swollen prominence. Caudal process a little 

 more pointed than is usual. Anal stemite with the tubercles of normal 

 size. Sternal areas without spines and normally sulcate. Legs normal. 



cf. Slenderer than the female. The process on the sternum of the 

 fifth somite very long and linguiform, its distal half bent slightly 

 forwards, its anterior surface covered thickly with long hair. The 

 copulatory feet very complex and impossible to describe; terminating 

 in five variously formed processes. (See figure).

 lateral surface the same colour as the dorsal but paler above the legs; 

 legs , antennae and sternal surface ochraceous. 



Head sulcate and smoot habove, hairy below; antennœ moderately long. 



First tergite laterally depressed, not carinate but impressed above 

 the lateral border, the anterior border evenly convex from the posterior
