PACIFIC SCIENCE, Vol. VII, July, 1953 
line of light scales narrower than in female. 
Torus and flagellum dark brown; flagellar 
whorls with about 12-14 bristles, about 0.23 
of flagellar length; penultimate segment 1.25 
of preceding, apical 1.50 of penultimate. Leg 
I: femur 1; tibia 1.0; tarsus 0.28, 0.53, 0.40, 
0.20, 0.06, segment 1 shortened, excavated 
and with specialized bristles as figured, seg- 
ment 2 with specialized bristles as figured; 
claws equal, one markedly swollen. Leg II: 
femur 1.05; tibia 1.50; tarsus 0.64, 0.33, 0.25, 
0.06, 0.18, segments 4 and 5 as illustrated by 
Barraud (1934), segment 4 with a long ven- 
tral lobe extending to almost middle of 5, 
segment 5 with small median ventral lobe; 
claws enlarged, larger claw forked. Leg III: 
femur 1.13; tibia 1.22, subapical and apical 
tufts of specialized scales as illustrated; tarsus 
1.02, 0.64, 0.44, 0.17, 0.11; claws equal, not 
markedly different. 
MALE GENITALIA (969-102) .—As figured. 
Ninth tergite widely and deeply emarginate 
proximally, sclerotization evanescent in the 
middle; apex narrowly but deeply emarginate; 
lateral lobe wide, with apical sclerotization 
extended ventrolaterally proximad as a strong 
curved bar. Proctiger without distinct sclero- 
tizations. Basal lobe of sidepiece with dorsal 
group of six strong and several small bristles, 
and one large and one small bristle ventrally. 
Clasper as illustrated. Mesosome with narrow 
basal dorsal bridge only; apical tooth long, 
weakly curved, three serrations near its base 
on apex of mesosome plate; median tooth 
broad at base, strongly incurved, one serration 
near its base distally on mesosome plate. Para- 
mere moderately expanded near base. 
PUPA (Exuviae of female, 969-109).— Ab- 
domen: 1.80 mm. Trumpet: 0.63 mm. Paddle: 
0.47 mm. 
Cephalothorax: Dark pigmentation of apical 
portion of wing cases and midventral line 
including all of leg cases contrasting sharply 
with the lighter pigmentation of the remain- 
der, except for darker areas at base of wing 
cases, middorsally on mesonotum and later- 
ally on metanotum. Trumpet dark through- 
out; length 12.0 median width; widened in 
basal 0.25, slightly flared in apical 0.25; inner 
wall indistinct except in reticulate; tracheoid 
extending to about 0.75, well developed mes- 
ally except on apex, absent from basal 0.08; 
reticulate indistinctly ornamented; pinna 0.04; 
distinct mesal slit in meatus extending about 
0.13 of trumpet length. Hairs moderately pig- 
mented; relative position, length, and degree 
of development as figured; larger branched 
hairs with long slender basal stalk moderately 
expanded apically where branches arise, outer 
branches often shorter, longer branches with 
small but distinct barbs. Hairs: 1(5, 9b, outer 
branches of latter shorter), 2(5, 6b), 3 (7b), 
4(9b), 5(llb), 6(1), 7(5, 6b), 8(5, 6b, one 
branch greatly elongated and thickened), 
9(10b), 10(6, 7b), ll(3b), 12(7, 9b). 
Abdomen: Moderately pigmented and with 
dark areas midlaterally and intersegmentally, 
VIII and IX almost completely dark; tergites 
II-VII each with a posteromedian patch of 
distinct small spicules becoming more exten- 
sive caudally; tergite VIII with median patch 
of shorter, stronger spines arranged in small 
groups; tergal reticulations indistinct; ster- 
nites III-VII each with extensive median 
patch of small spicules; sternite II without 
transverse band; sternite VIII with large an- 
teromedian patches of spicules similar to those 
of tergite. All hairs moderately pigmented; 
relative position, length, and degree of de- 
velopment as figured; larger hairs as on ce- 
phalothorax. Segment I: hair 1(14 primary 
branches, strongly barbed, secondary branch- 
ing strong, also with barbs, about 1.1 length 
of segment), 2(1), 3(3b), 4(7b), 5(5, 7f),6(4b), j, 
7(2f), 10(4b). Segment II: hair 0(1), l(lOb), 
2(3b), 3(1), 4(6, 7b), 5(4b), 6(2, 3b), 7(1), | 
10(4b). Segment III: hair 0(1), 1(8, lOb), | 
2(1), 3(8b), 4(3, 4b), 5(3, 5f), 6(5b), 7(1), 
8(3f), 10(4b), 12(3b), 13(1), 14(1). Segment 
IV: hair 0(1), l(7b), 2(1), 3(6b), 4(1, minute- 
ly barbed distad), 5(3, 4f), 6(5b), 7(1), 8(5b), '

hair 0(1), l(5b), 2(1), 3(3b), 4(1, minutely 
barbed distad), 5(4, 5b), 6(5b), 7(1), 8 (4b), |
