terior margins of paranota evenly curved. Prozonites of segments 
with small, rounded granules becoming larger, acute on metazonites, 
bearing minute branched setae. Segmental setae along anterior mar- 
gin of metazonite, outermost at midpoint in lateral margins of para- 
nota. Epiproct trilobed. Legs short, femora clavate. 
Legs 7 with coxae somewhat enlarged. Anterior gonopods (Figs, 
i, 2) typical. Anterior coxal processes closely appressed in midline 
(Fig. 1), with large posteriorly directed apical branch (Fig. 2), 
blunt, spatulate lateral branch embracing posterior coxal process. 
Anterior branch of posterior coxal process long, acute, curved, sword- 
like; mesal branch nearly sigmoid, conforming to lateral branch of 
anterior coxal process; posterior branch apparently absent. Telo- 
podite lobelike. Posterior gonopod (ninth leg) typical, flattened, 
setose. 'Coxae of legs 10 enlarged, gland opening on anterior face. 
Other postgonopodal legs normal. 
Coloration: dark brown, prozonites and metazonites of sixth seg- 
ment lighter tan, collum cream-white, legs and venter white. Bases 
of segmental setae marked by light spots. 
Female from same locality: Size and body form much as in male, 
but sixth segment of normal size. Ocelli of 3 females: 2 specimens 
have 5 ocelli, one has 6. Cyphopods and postgenital structures as 
in Fig. 3.

Type: Female holotype from “John Day Creek,” Douglas Co.,
