61. Marginal row of 8-shaped pores irregularly double, single at 



points other than at posterior end, terminating around 

 the length of an apical seta from setal bases; 10-16 quin- 

 quelocular pores in each spiracular band ; apical setae 



approximately 47 /j. long hakeae Fuller, p. 103. 



Marginal row of 8 shaped pores double except near posterior 

 end, terminating one-half the length of an apical seta from 

 setal bases ; 18-25 quinquelocular pores in each spiracular 

 band ; apical setae approximately 65 m long 



ventruosum (Maskell), p. 220. 



62. (59) Ventral submarginal 8-shaped pores 7-8 ix long and 5 wide. 



nearly as large as posterior marginal 8-shaped pores ; 

 dorsal 8-shaped pores 8-9 fi long and 5 wide 



quaesitum, new species, p. 171. 

 Ventral submarginal 8-shaped pores either smaller than above 

 or, if that size, conspicuously smaller than posterior mar- 

 ginal 8-shaped pores; dorsal 8-shaped pores smaller or 

 much larger than above 63

64. Dorsal 8-shaped pores distinctly smaller than marginal. 5 /j, 



long and 3 wide tokyonis Kuwana, p. 206. 



Dorsal 8-shaped pores of same size as, or slightly smaller than, 



marginal, some 12-16 \x long and 8-10 wide 65 



65. Dorsal median 8-shaped pores about 18 m long and 12 wide, 



larger than marginal ; marginal quinquelocular pores 

 present only near spiracular pore bands; 75-105 multi- 

 locular pores; apical setae 80-108 \x long: interapical setae 



16-20 fi long ffrandiculum, new species, p. 10 '. 



Dorsal median 8-shaped pores around 12 /x long and 8 wide. 

 of same size as marginal: marginal quinquelocular pores 

 usually present except near posterior end of body ; 100-130 

 multilocular pores; apical setae r>4-64 ,u long: interapical 

 setae around 12.6 /j. long viridulum Cockerell, p. 223. 



66. (63) Multilocular pores arranged either in complete and 3 inter- 



rupted or in 7 or 8 complete rows: tubular ducts about 



32 m long 67 



Multilocular pores arranged in 3 or 4 complete rows, and some- 

 times in 1-4 interrupted rows, but with less than 5 complete 

 rows: tubular ducts at least 40 fi long 68 



67. Dorsal 8-shaped pores arranged in short, transverse rows along 



median line and in circles paralleling the margin else- 

 where: multilocular pores, totaling approximately 100. ap- 

 parently arranged in complete and 3 interrupted rows

median line, tending toward arrangement in transverse 



rows elsewhere; multilocular pores, totaling approximately 



180, apparently arranged in 7 or 8 complete rows
