hind is a transverse ridge, narrow through the middle,, 
widened behind and beyond stigma, setae longer than dis- 
tance between their bases, the head long, and slender, 
scabrous. A tectopedium behind coxae one, and also two,, 
the latter rather complicated. 
Abdomen fully one and one-half times as long as broad, 
sides but slightly convex; on each side of the basal part 
is a short strip of granules. The genital opening plainly 
longer than broad, about its length in front of the larger 
anal opening, latter narrow and faintly bilobed in front, 
more than twice as broad behind. The fourth pair of legs 
considerably behind the third; the side of the venter be-

most of the area, and strongly curved behind. Legs short 
and stout, with but few fine hairs, almost wholly on tarsi, 
three claws; all femora thickened, front ones strongly so, 
and with a ridge or lamella below, tibia short, little if 
any longer than tarsus, front tarsus from side slightly 
swollen ; hind legs reach nearly to tip of abdomen.
