" Hind tvinr/ subtriangular, all the margins of about equal length ; the anterior slightly, the 
outer much, rounded, the latter more or less deeply dentate ; the inner margin forming a 
distinct channel for the reception of the abdomen, emarginate beyond the termination of 
the internal uervure. 
" Fore lecjs of the male with the femur and tibia of about equal length, subcylindric, slightly 
compressed ; tarsus one-jointed, shorter than the tibia, subcylindric, slightly compressed, 
rounded, or slightly slenderer, towards the apex. Of the female scarcely, if at all, longer 
than those of the male : femur and tibia of about equal length, nearly cylindric, the latter 
slightly spiny within; tarsus shorter than the tibia, five-jointed; the first joint nearly 
double the length of the rest combined, largest towards the apex ; the other joints trans- 
verse, successively shorter ; all the joints, except the fifth, armed on each side at the apex 
with a stout spine, covered more or less by a tuft of stiff hairs at the base of the following 
joint. 
" Middle and hind legs with the tibiae rather shorter than the femora, spiny ; the spurs distinct ; 
tarsi about equal in length to the tibite, very spiny ; the spines above slender, much 
stronger at the sides and below, forming three well-defined series along the sole of the foot. 
First joint equal to the rest combined ; second rather dilated ; the spines, especially the 
lateral ones, longer than on the other joints. Claws elongate, grooved below, lobed at the 
base, acute, but little curved, except at the base and apex. Paronychia and pulvilli wanting
