The tentorium of the male is here figured fromthe anterior and posterior aspects (Fig. 5). The ante-rior and posterior arms unite medially and form athin, quadrate corporotentorium. The anterior armsbear small dorsal branches which appear to be vesti-gial. The posterior arms are dilated and join the verylarge crassa, or hypostoma, and the inwardly-slant-ing lateral flanges of the submentum. In males theselateral flanges are heavily sclerotized, whereas infemales they are submembranous. The general struc-ture of the tentorium appears to be constant through-out the order. The posterior tentorial pits are situatedon either side of the base of the submentum.
