Male.—(G) male puparium. pointed spines (figs. 2 B b, 2 C b); a single larger spine (fig. 2 B c) marking the stigmatic area. Antenna (fig. 2 D) nine-jointed ; third and fourth joints con- siderably longer than the others, the third, fourth, and fifth apparently without any hairs ; one particularly long hair is attached to the sixth joint. Legs rela- tively small but well developed ; foot (fig. 2 E) with four digitules, dilated distally, claw strongly hooked at the tip and with a minute tubercle on the concave border near the extremity.
