Pro- sternum : with 4 + 5 teeth ; lateral tooth smaller and placed more posteriorly than others; no lateral spine ; lateral to lateral tooth the anterior border slopes sharply backwards without angulation (Fig. 48). Tergites: posterior angles of , 10, 12 and 14 blunt; posterior borders of large tergites very feebly emarginate ; pos- terior angles of , 11 and 13 rounded and very feebly projecting posteriorly; intermediate tergite feebly emarginate posteriorly. Coxal pores: 2, 2, 2, 2 ; cir- cular ; separated from one another by about their own diameter. Tarso-metatarsal articulations of anterior legs: quite distinct with a change in breadth of articles but no obvious flexion. 15th leg: 2-5 mm long, not swollen or otherwise modified; accessory apical claw half the length of principal claw. Male genitalia: covered by genital sternite so that the specimen may be immature. 47. Figs. 47-48. Lithobius javanicus. Fig. 47. Ocelli. Fig. 48. Dental margin of prosternum, ventral.
