of the first, armed with a few small spines below, and two stronger ones at the apex, 
third and fourth joints combined scarcely longer than the second, both armed with two 
spines at the apex, those of the fourth having a tuft of hair at the base. 
" Middle and hind legs with the tibiso and tarsi of equal length, shorter than the femora, which 
are rather short ; tibia spiny within except at the base, the spines short, slender, arranged 
in two nearly regular series ; tarsi spiny below and at the sides, except the fifth joint, 
which wants the lateral series of spines ; spines of the lower surface in two somewhat 
regular scries ; first joint longer than the rest combined, second joint less than one third 
the length of the first, third joint rather more than half the length of the second, longer 
than the fourth, fifth joint longer than the second ; claws short, curved, grooved below ; 
paronychia bilaciniate, outer lacinia slender, pointed, as long as the claw, inner lacinia
