Type is Allodamcous ewingi n. sp. 
The nymph of this or some allied species has two long, 
curved setae at tip of abdomen (figure 6). 
Allodamaeus ewingi sp. nov. 
Reddish brown to dull yellowish brown ; there is a pul- 
verulence over the legs which has the appearance of 
equally short erect hairs on each side of each joint; it 
is also over the front of head. The fine hairs on the legs 
are, at first, scarcely noticeable, a much stouter hair 
arises from near tip of third trochanter. The tecto- 
pediurn behind first trochanter has a tooth on outer side. 
The ventral openings are hnt little separated, the anal 
slightly the longer, the genital almost its length from the 
transverse bar at base of abdomen, the anal opening is 
nearly one-half its length from the end of venter. Above 
on the cephalotliorax at each basal corner is the base of 
the seta, but no seta is visible unless it is very short and 
capitate ; a little in front arises the superior bristle, which 
near tip is somewhat thickened. 
The front legs are nearly as long as width of the abdo- 
men, the hind legs as long as the entire body. The base 
of the patella and tibia is suddenly broadened, like a 
basal collar to the joint, the patella is much narrowed 
beyond the collar, but the tibia continues broad to the 
attachment of the tarsus, and in front legs the upper tip 
of tibia is extended in a point over fully one-half of the 
thick basal part of tarsus, the tip of the tibial projection 
has a very long hair. 
Length .7 mm.
