Till' most noticeable attribute is the tendenev of the paratergal plates to have the apical lobes deepK' subdivided so there are 4 subi'(|ual rounded or somewhat acute apical lobes, and, also, tlie apical setae of paratergal plates IV-VI are minute, and on plates II-III there is alwavs at least 1 long seta. Abdom- inal setae of the typical segments vary from thin to sword shaped but are never as strongly flattened and broadened medially as in certain other groups of the genus. A tergal plate may be developed on the first abdominal segment. Kii;. I()2-|{)7. Uitploplciirii (jiiudTidtnldtii (Ni').
