The cephalic segment is slightly narrowed anteriorly, and the upper surface of the whole head is marked with very small whitish dots. The anterior and posterior extremities of the body are perhaps a little darker in color than the intervening portion. The inferior aspect of the head is of the same color as the superior, contrasting with the under surface of the body. Near the posterior border of each sterna there is a pair of subequal oval transverse depressions. The legs are almost destitute of hair, having occasionally, however, a few very short ones. Length, 2½ inches.
