Venter grey with somewhat short hairs. The genitaha are large and somewhat curiously shaped; the lower lateral lamellæ much arched, sending a little process backwards from their lower part, otherwise stretching up- wards and somewhat triangular, but with the outer margin curved; seen directly from behind the two lamellæ form almost a round disc with a verti- cal opening between them, which is closed below by the two lower pro- cesses; the lamellæ are black, shining; the upper lateral lamellæ stretch up- wards from the opening between the lower, and they are directed somewhat forwards in over the abdomen; each lamellæ is long, arched and some- Avhat spoon-like dilated at the end, the two lamellæ together are thus somewhat bladder-like. The upper lamellæ are ferruginous at the base but yellowish white towards the end. Both pairs of lamellæ are only slightly haired at the margin, for the rest bare. On the dorsal side, at the base of the upper lamellæ the eighth segment forms a pair of somewhat long-haired, squamular pieces. Penis is simply curved, ferruginous. Legs brownish; coxæ dark greyish pruinose; the very apex of the hind femora, hind tibiæ and tarsi yellowish white, only the last joint brown; generally also the middle tibiæ somewhat pale at the base; the hind femora somewhat broad, hind tibiæ rather short and thin, slightly curved, hind tarsi specially deli- cate, shorter than the tibiæ; both tibiæ and tarsi thinner than the anterior tibiæ and tarsi. The anterior femora mainly short-haired with a row of longer hairs in the apical half on the postero-ventral side; hind femora likewise sh
