PACIFIC SCIENCE, Vol. XI, October, 1957 
also with seven s 2 at O.llpd to 0.92 pd, these 
being short, slightly clavate, and longitudi- 
nally ribbed; s 3 absent, s 4 numerous. Many 
eupathidia extending from 0.36^ to 0.20 d. 
Famulusi at O.lOd very similar to the eupa- 
thidia in form, but somewhat shorter and 
broader at the base. Tarsus II with four 
solenidiai, at 0.23, 0.38, 0.54 and 0.57 d; a 
single s 2 at 0.60d, at the base of the claw 
fossa. Precise number of s 4 not determinable 
with material available; eupathidia numbering 
about 20. Famulus 2 at 0.57 d very small, short, 
peglike, easily overlooked. Tarsus III with 
about seven solenidia intermediate to types 
s 3 and s 4 , but more closely resembling the 
latter. Tarsus IV with about five solenidia, 
which appear to belong to type s 3 . 
male: Unknown. 
LARVA: Only one specimen of the larva was 
taken and this was in such poor condition 
that neither measurements nor counts of the 
numerous body setae could be made. Scutum 
(Fig. 90) with two pairs of smooth, slender 
sensilla and two pairs of finely barbed setae 
(oil immersion) . Anterior end of scutum with 
a knoblike projection bearing at its tip a 
smaller conical projection. Crista well de- 
veloped; extending to level of anterior sen- 
silla. Cuticle finely and densely punctate. 
Dorsal and marginal body setae slender, ta- 
pering to a very fine point, and smooth; each 
seta borne on an individual sclerite which is 
rather feebly delimited from the surrounding 
unstriated membranous cuticle. 
Coxa I with two setae, including the one 
on the rather well- developed pars medialis 
coxae, II and III each with a single seta, that 
on II bifurcate on both right and left sides 
of the single specimen available (Figs. 87, 
101). Urpore well developed. Supracoxal setae 
on I apparently absent but material not very 
satisfactory for study. 
Gnathosoma bearing only two pairs of 
setae, the protorostrals and probably the tri- 
torostrals, the deutorostrals apparently absent 
(Fig. 88). Supracoxal setae absent. Rostrum 
short, blunt; velum simple. Chelicerae short, 
compact, tarsus scythe-shaped with one or 
two small teeth near the tip. Palpal trochanter 
(Fig. 94) without setae, femur and patella 
with a single seta dorsally which appears 
smooth at low magnifications, but at high 
magnifications can be seen to have three or 
four very minute barbs. Tibia with three 
normal setae in basal half, plus the bidentate 
terminal clawlike seta. Tarsus with a soleni- 
dion very near the base, three long, slender, 
normal setae also in basal half plus four heavy 
pectinate setae in distal half. Typical eupa- 
thids are absent, although the four hemi- 
pectinate setae in the distal half of the segment 
evidently represent the eupathids of the adult. 
Chaetotaxy of legs approximately as shown 
in table (s = solenidia, e — eupathidia, f = 
famulus, v = vestigial setae, c = companion 
setae, n = normal setae). 
Femora I to III (Figs. 87, 91, 93) incom- 
pletely divided; with a well-developed synar- 
throdial membrane ventrally but the cuticle 
in the dorsal part of the segment continues 
with no trace of interruption from the basi- 
femoral to the telofemoral portion. Although 
there is no true articulation dorsally as found 
between other segments of the leg, there is 
undoubtedly considerable flexibility at this 
joint. Telofemoral portion of femur, patella 
and tibia of all legs with one or more soleni- 
dia 3 dorsally. Patella I and II each with a 
vestigial seta dorsally, but tibiae lacking ves- 
tigial setae. Tarsus I (Fig. 99) with annulate 
dorsal solenidioni at 0.45 V, a straight, elong- 
ate, smooth famulus at 0.5 Gpd, eupathid and
