Psyche 
[March-June 
in a small, blunt, posteriorly directed spine; each side of praeopercular 
organ with an oblique, blunt spine (Figure 30). Subgenital plate 
longitudinally rugose and medially carinate in the distal three- 
quarters. Margins of femora and tibiae minutely granulate, lower 
lateral and lower median carinae of hind four femora each with two 
subapical granules; posterior femora shorter than the anterior. 
Male: Unknown. 
Egg: Large, subcylindrical, surface granulate. Micropylar plate 
planaria-shaped, about three times longer than broad. Operculum 
flat. Length 3.5 mm. (Figure 33). 
Locality: Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. From brush in field near 
Ramey Air Force Base. April 28, 1948. Oakley, et al. 48 16407. 
(usmnh). 
Habitat: The region around Aguadilla does not have any par- 
ticularly high land and is considerably drier than the Luquillo rain 
forest. Unfortunately, on my recent collecting trip, I was unable 
to find this species either on St. Thomas or near Aguadilla. 
My specimen agrees extremely closely with Saussure’s description, 
except for the spines between the eyes, the somewhat shorter legs, 
and the absence of spines on the femora.
