first pair are elongate, closely apposed at their hinder ends, and diverging 
forwards and outwards, the trochanters arising from their ventral faces 
a little nearer the anterior end. The coxae of the remaining two pairs 
are palette-shaped, with a notch on the inner margin. The trochanters 
are small and triangular; the /emws stout and strongly arched; the 
tibiae narrow proximally, and swollen distally, those of the third pair 
conspicuously long. The first joint of the tarsus (Fig. 4) is short, and 
bears a large flap-like appendage on the inner side. Mjoberg (1910, 
p. 213) refers to this structure as an onychium; but, whatever the 
precise meaning of this much abused term may be, it surely cannot be 
apphed to a structure that has no connection at all with the grasping 
apparatus of the foot. The second joint of the tarsus is long, and 
bears on its inner face at about two-thirds of its length a small finger¬ 
like process, which collapses in balsam mounts. The flexing apparatus 
of the claws consists of a cross-striated triangular plate, the apex of 
which is connected with the flexor tendon, while from the base a liga¬ 
mentous sheet passes to the claws. Each of the basal angles bears 
a hair. 
The abdomen broadens very slightly, being widest at the fourth and 
fifth segments in the ?, and at the fourth in the d, 'which tapers more 
rapidly posteriorly to the rounded ninth segment. The whole abdomen 
is yellowish brown, the pleura and a broad transverse band in each 
segment being darker brown. The last segment of the $ is rectangular 
dorsally, the vulva being broadly rounded on the ventral side, and the 
borders of both being densely fringed with short hairs. 
Only one d was available, and in it the genitalia are but lightly 
chitinised, so that it may not be quite mature. The general form of the 
apparatus will be clear from an examination of Fig. 3. 
The chaetotaxy presents no features worthy of particular remark, and 
its general distribution is given in the various figures. The forehead 
shows five hairs and a prickle; the temporal angle three hairs and a 
spine, between which and the mid-line are a hair and a spine set in 
a common pustule, and a short hair. The prothorax has two spines, a 
long hair, and a spine on each side, and a series of eight hairs along the 
hind border. The mesothorax is distinguished from the metathorax 
and abdominal segments by the possession of a row of short spines on 
each lateral border. Meso- and meta-thorax, and the first seven abdo¬ 
minal segments, each have two to three hairs at the angles, and a row of 
ten along the hind margin. On the ventral surface of the head there 
are a pair of hairs in front of the gular plate, about six hairs on each
