16 in $, 16 or 17 ; vii. 10 in </, and 13 or 14 in $, 12 to 14. On the 
sternites of the third to seventh segments there are in the </ 11, 12, 10, 
10, and 10 bristles respectively, the numbers being in the $ 14, 12, 10, 
11 to 13, and 15 on the two sides together, the seventh sternite having 
on each side 5 or 6 additional bristles in front of the row. There are 
also some small bristles before the row of long ones on the sternite of 
the third segment in the J. The basal sternite bears on each lateral 
surface in the </ about 5 hairs, in the $ 12 to 16, the segment having 
also along the ventral line 5 to 9 short hairs. The proximal tergites bear 
short apical spines, the numbers being in the £ 13, 8, 5, 4, 1 and in the 
$ 11 to 16, 5 or 6, 3 to 6, 3 or 4. 
Legs. The forecoxa bears more than 50 bristles. The fore- and 
midfemora have a number of short bristles scattered over the outer 
surface, besides some longer subapical bristles. There is a row of about 
8 bristles on the outer side of the hindfemur, and a row of 4 to 6 on the 
inside. The hindtibia bears 30 odd bristles on the outer side, inclusive 
of those placed at the anterior edge, the bristles being slightly more 
numerous in the </ than in the $. The longest apical bristle of the 
second hindtarsal segment does not reach to the middle of the fourth 
segment. There are 2 ventral apical bristles on the fifth segment, one 
being long the other short and stout, the fourth lateral pair, which stands 
close to these apical bristles, being also short, strong, and blunt. The 
fifth segment of the hindtarsi is about as long as the second midtarsal 
one (PI. IV, fig. 4). 
Modified segments, g. The eighth sternite bears on each side a 
row of 5 bristles, in front of which there are several smaller bristles. 
The triangular clasper (PI. VII, fig. 7) bears a long bristle beneath the 
apex and about 9 medium-sized bristles along the upper edge, besides 
several small ones. At the ventral edge, not very far from the long 
subapical bristle, the clasper has a notch, the “finger” extending beyond 
this notch. The ninth sternite bears about a dozen bristles, one of 
which is much longer than the others. The manubrium of the clasper 
is somewhat widened at the apex.— $. The eighth tergite bears 6 to 8 
hairs above the stigma, of which the one nearest the apex is the longest, 
corresponding to the long subapical bristle of the seventh tergite. From 
the stigma downwai'ds there is a row of 7 long and 14 short bristles, the 
segment bearing basally at some distance from that row a patch of about 
5 short bristles. Along the ventral and apical edges there are 18 to 20 
long and short bristles. The stylet is slightly bottle-shaped, bearing a 
small notch near the apex.
