cles on the outer ventro-lateral surface; femur also having a 
few small subobsolete ones on its dorsal surface. Tibia with a 
similar row on its outer ventro-lateral surface, a short row on 
the distal portion of its inner ventro-lateral surface, and a 
short row on the proximal portion of its ventral surface. Tar- 
sus pubescent, with a row of short, blunt, black tubercles on 
its inner ventro-lateral surface, extending from the base to 
near the apex. Legs varying from light brown to black, but
