median portion, each margin lightly pigmented, or with it entirely 
lacking, giving the body a banded appearance. Antennae slightly 
pigmented basally, lighter distally. Basal segments of legs pig- 
mented, lighter distally. Manubrium lightly pigmented basally. 
Eyes (Fig. 13) 4 on each side of head, equal, three anterior ones 
close together on a dark eye patch, the posterior one is situated 
back of others about 4 eye-diameters on a dark eye-patch. Post- 
antennal organ (Fig. 13) unusually elongate, bent, and 6 or 7 times 
as long as the diameter of adjacent eye, notched in middle. Anten- 
nae as long as head on well developed antennal base. Antennal seg- 
ments as: 7:15: 10:30. Sense organ of third antennal segment 
(Fig. 11) consisting of two small, slightly bent sense rods. Fourth 
antennal segment with several olfactory setae. Last three abdom- 
inal segments ankylosed, sometimes with a trace of a suture showing 
between fourth and fifth segments. 
Unguis (Fig. 10) curved, unarmed. Unguiculus (Fig. 10) un- 
armed, broadly lanceolate, and extended setaceously; about two- 
thirds the length of unguis. Tenent hairs absent. Furcula reaching 
to the middle of the second abdominal segment. Manubrium (Fig. 
12) with several fine, short setae dorsally and with many short, 
stout setae ventrally. Manubrium to dens to mucro as: 25:35:5. 
Dentes (Fig. 15) with a long basal seta and at least 3 shorter, 
curving setae dorsally; with many short, rather stout setae ventrally; 
dorsally crenulate, the crenulations ending about two mucro-lengths 
from mucro. Mucro (Fig. 15) large, bidentate, the apical tooth 
much smaller than ante-apical. Rami of tenaculum quadridentate, 
with one stout, curving seta on corpus (Fig. 14). 
Clothing at posterior end of abdomen composed of very many long 
setae intermingled with shorter, curving ones. Clothing on body 
segments (Fig. 17), from a lateral view, generally consists of two 
long, curved setae, and numerous shorter, reclinate ones. Body in 
general unusually heavily clothed with setae. 
This species is very close to an eight-eyed species ( Folsomia 
octoculata Handschin) described from Java and the South-west 
provinces of India, as to number and arrangement of eyes, but differs 
in other body structures. 
Highlands, N. C., September 22, 1949, D. L. Wray. Eighteen 
specimens were taken from leaf mould from a mixed pine, hemlock, 
and hardwood forest at about 4000 feet altitude. This region stays
