latter predominating; the articulations, the apical segment, and 
base of the first segment, white scaled. Proboscis very thick, 
slightly stouter than that of the female, but as far as can be seen, 
with the same distribution of scales. Legs (fig. 3), fourth tarsal 
segments of the first pair of legs slightly broader than long, in 
the 9 larger and considerably longer than broad; ungues unequal, 
the larger with a distinct sub-median tooth, the smaller simple. 
Fourth segments of the second pair of legs longer and narrower 
than in the first pair, in the 9 shorter and slightly broader and 
about the same size as the corresponding ones of the <$ ; ungues as 
in the fore legs. Tarsi of the hind legs normal in both sexes, the 
ungues equal and simple. Genitalia -.— Basal segment stout, 
gradually tapering to a rounded apex ; superior clasper slender, about 
half the length of the baSal lobe, with a long terminal spine; inferior 
clasper forming a fairly distinct lobe bearing a pair of thick spines, 
llarpes and harpagones stout, the former terminating in three 
distinct teeth, the latter in a single large one. 
In addition to the female characters given by Newstead and 
I homas, and besides those mentioned above, there are two others of 
some importance, viz., the ungues are all equal and simple, and in 
several specimens the ventral surface of the last tarsal segment of 
ihe hind legs is black scaled.
