Fore femora with 3 to 4 rather long, more or less horizontal outwardly directed spines on the outer margin; 3 to 4 shorter ones more downwardly directed on the inner margin. On middle femora along lower fore margin distad from the middle 3 rather long projecting spines ; the hind margin of the left femur with 1 spine at the end of basal third and 2 in distal third, on the right femur 3 spines in basal half and 2 shorter ones near the knee. On the hind femora, the spines below on the inner margin are short and more downwardly directed, on the outer margin long and projecting outwardly; with 7 on the inner margin on both legs,.

Below: Lateral part of basal abdominal tergites. irregularly distant from each other, beginning well before the middle ; on the outer margin of left femur 1 short spine near base, then 3 longer ones before the middle rather close together, with 2 separated ones in the middle, and finally, near the knee, 4 closer together, the first two of these being short, the third the longest; on right hind femur, 3 rather separated spines before the middle, increasing in size distad, then a space without any spines, and finally, near the knee, 3 close together, the middle one of them being hardly half as long as the two others, the first somewhat longer than the third. In spite of their variability, it is quite clear that the rows of spines on the hind legs begin distinctly nearer the base than in kuhlgatzi. Fore tibiae spineless above on the outside, with 3 to 4 spines on the inside, the last (distal) one of them being decidedly the longest; below with but 1 spine close before the apex on the inside, and with.
