Psyche 
[June-September 
with a mixture of curved and straight acuminate setae, and 
a number of slightly curved blunt “sensory” setae- The 
latter type form about one third of the clothing of the 
apical half of the segment. Third segment clothed with a 
number of curved acuminate setae, and in addition six 
blunt setae as follows : on the dorsal surface two long rods 
enclose between them two short oval knobs (about one 
third as long as the rods) ; on the ventral surface there 
are two additional curved rods about one half as long 
as the dorsal ones. Second and first antennals segments 
each with a circlet of acuminate setae, p.a.o. broadly oval 
and more than twice as large as the largest eye. Eyes eight 
per side with eyes D, H, and E, being smaller than the 
remainder. Integument granulate save for the last two 
abdominal tergites which are finely reticulate. Legs with 
tibiotarsi subsegmented. Unguis without lateral teeth but 
with an extremely small inner tooth. Empodial appendage 
lanceolate, slightly less than half as long as unguis, and 
lacking any apical bristle. Unguis with three weakly clavate 
tenent hairs, the median being strikingly longer than the 
remainder. 
The description of this form brings to four the number 
of species of Anurophorus having the fifth and sixth 
abdominal segments fused into a single mass. Although 
these species are generally similar they may be readily 
separated on the basis of the characteristics listed below:

In addition to these, special characteristics such as the 
abdominal thickenings of A. coiffati and the antennal 
chaetotaxy can be used for additional separation.
