anterior, cylindrical, dorsally directed process with duct. Ectoprocts 
weakly sclerotized. 
Female and immature stages unknown. 
Previous distribution: California and New Mexico; Mexico: Baja 
California. 
New material examined: utah*: Logan, VI-2-1938, 1 male, G. F. 
Knowlton, D. E. Hardy and G. S. Stains, at light. 
Notes: Meinander referred to the transverse plate as being 
between the apices of the apophyses of the 9th sternum in his 
description. He was apparently referring to the apices of the 
appendages of the 9th sternum. 
The present specimen is the 4th known specimen of this species.

with a downward directed, shield-shaped flap, narrower in caudal 
view than the flap of A. arizonica. Appendages of 9th sternum 
connected distally to transverse plate and bearing setae just antero¬
