most strongly in the front legs where the upper end of 
tibia extends nearly over the basal half of tarsus and is 
tipped by a long hair; the slender stalk of the tibia is 
curved in all legs ; all of the tarsi are very hairy on apical 
half, and the claw is very long ; all patellae are very short, 
and the tip of femur is lobed on each side. 
The cephalothorax is narrowed at base and widest at 
base of the first tectopedia. A little in front of each basal 
corner is a large, rounded scar, from its anterior inner 
corner arises a ridge which curves inward and then ex- 
tends forward parallel to its fellow for fully three-fourths 
of length of cephalothorax. From the anterior outer 
corner of each scar arises the long seta, tipped by an 
elongate swelling; superior bristles apparently lacking, 
but the round insertion is seen opposite the turn of the 
ridge. 
The abdomen, not twice the length of the cephalo- 
thorax, is broadest behind the middle. On the venter is 
a strong division and constriction between the cephalo- 
thorax and the abdomen, there is but little indication of 
coxal limits, but the second (apparently) is a broad plate 
separated from its fellow by a somewhat triangular out- 
line, a faint curved line crosses just in front of genital 
opening and slopes backward to indicate hind border of 
the fourth coxa. 
The genital aperture is broader in front than behind, 
the anal opening much larger, and fully one and one-half 
its length from the genital opening. Dolicheremceus 
rubripes Jacot, Florida Entom., 1938, is very similar in 
general appearance to this species, the body is more 
slender.

Cephalothorax fully as broad at base as long, abdomen 
about one and a third times as long as broad, broadly 
rounded behind. Seta spatulate, the broadened tip flat, 
with rounded outer tip. The cephalothorax above has 
irregular low, narrow ridges, one starts from close to the 
stigma, extending obliquely forward and inward, then 
turns to run parallel to outer margin of cephalothorax.
