Claw of first leg bifid when seen from above ; when viewed 

 laterally, each fork bears two hairs (one dorsal, the other ventral) 

 as in T. carpini^ but they are still more inconspicuous and difficult 

 to see, being very fine. The claws of the three posterior legs end 

 in haii-s as in T. telarius. 



$ . Palp. Terminal finger or cone fairly well developed and 

 rather stout, being about equal to the length of the neighbouring 

 rod-like setie. Dorsal sensory finger slightly club-shaped.
