wax (Fig. 12 b) on each side and single an- 
terior and posterior median ribbons. Margin 
(Fig. 12c) reflexed, obscurely toothed. Apparent 
margin smooth except for 9 minute paired 
teeth on each side more or less equidistant, the 
margin between them straight or nearly so; 
4 on the cephalothorax, 5 on the abdomen with 
the anterior one opposite the end of the trans- 
verse moulting suture. Caudal margin with 2 
prominences. Submargin not separated from 
dorsal disc and pigmented to margin. On the 
submargin is a continuous linear series of 
contiguous subquadrate pores, about 10 between 
each pair of marginal processes. The pores tend 
to be longer than wide. A minute pore mesad 
of alternate large pores. The line of pores be- 
tween the processes is slightly concave. The 
processes are flanked on each side by a smaller 
pore. Cephalic area with pores as in figure. 
Meso- and metathorax each with 2 pairs of 
double pores, one larger and one smaller. Tho- 
racic tracheal folds, pores, and combs absent. 
Lateral arms of transverse moulting suture 
nearly straight, meeting in very obtuse median 
angle. Abdomen, pores on first abdominal seg- 
ment wide apart in same line as 2 pores on each 
side at mid-length, paramedian pores on second 
segment, 8th segment seta bases separated from 
orifice and level with its anterior margin. Vasi- 
form orifice (Fig. 12*7) semicircular or broadly 
cordate, wider than long. Operculum fills orifice. 
Lingula short included, parallel-sided apex 
rounded. Distance between caudal seta bases 
about half width of orifice, bases nearer apex 
of orifice than to margin. Abdominal tracheal 
folds, pore, and comb absent.

prominence (Fig. 13 b) , without indentations in 
thoracic pore area. Margin crenate, scarcely 
toothed. Submargin defined by submarginal line. 
On the submargin a linear series of contiguous 
pores broader than long except in cephalic area, 
broken by 9 processes or openings, 5 on the 
cephalothorax and 4 on the abdomen. Pores as 
in figure. Most prominent are 2 submarginal 
pores on posterior half of thorax. Thoracic tra- 
cheal fold, pore, and comb absent. Thorax with 
a median ridge obscurely tuberculate and dim- 
inishing in width anteriorly. Abdomen with 
slight median ridge faintly outlined by minute 
tubercles. First segment without evident setae 
or pores. Segment 7 longer than 6. Eighth ab- 
dominal segment setae minute, slightly anterior
