Ocular sclerite well sclerotized dorsally and laterally, but weak ventrally ; polygonally reticu- 

 lated throughout. Preocular ridge extending only a very short distance below articular process. 

 Postocular ridge well developed throughout ; below ocellus the ridge splits up with the anterior 

 branch partly surrounding ocellus. Inlerocular ridge absent. Dorsal ocular setae : 1-4 

 (average 2-3) f.s. and 1-4 (average 2-3) h.s. on each side, i'enlral head setae : 45-78 (average 

 62) f.s. and 3-8 (average 5-4) h.s., scattered over the ocular sclerite, always with some (3-8, 

 average 54) f.s. occurring in front of this sclerite and with 1-8 (average 4-8) between and behind 

 the eyes (when present in small numbers situated well behind the level of the anterior margin of 

 the eyes). Preoral ridge present. Tendon-like apodeme long. Cranial apophysis long ; apex 

 deeply bifurcate, extending to around the level of the anterior margin of the ventral eyes. 

 Mouth opening irregular. Anterior tentorial pits absent.

 length (ratio 1 : 1 -86-2-13, average 1 -99), shorter than posterior leg (ratio 1 : 0-77-0-82, average

 reticulation ; 65-72 (average 70) \x long and 40-45 (average 52) [x wide ; with 9-13 (average 12) 

 f.s. 3-6 (average 4-7) h.s. and a sensillum placodeum. Segment 1 1 1 somewhat club-shaped, 2*6
