branches; those of the first pair are a little unequal, the outer branch 

 being the longer, and having three unequal stoutish setae at apex and 

 two near the inner margin, the shorter having a longish seta at apex; 

 the branches of the second pair are subequal, with two or three un- 

 equal setae at apex. The last pair has two or three spines on side of 

 basal part, and none on the branch except the apical spines. The inner 

 margin of the outer branch of the first pair of stylets is very minutely 

 serrulate, and both margins of the inner branch, as well as inner 

 margin of base. 



The first joint of the last six pairs of legs is very broad, that of the 

 fifth pair as broad nearly as long.
