The condyles are fairly constant in position. The ven-tral one is a rounded protuberance and is located on the proximalend of the ventral side near the outer angle. In Oxyporus (fig. 16 H)this condyle is situated much nearer the inner edge. The dorsal ar-ticulation is sometimes a definite rounded acetabulum but frequentlyis only a hollow curve along the face of an irregular projection.
