Rh In our specimens, which have been preserved for a long time in alcohol, the color is a light yellowish-brown. The anterior scuta are tuberculate, the posterior merely roughened. Each has a more or less obsolete transverse groove extending all across the lateral laminæ. The latter are very long and narrow; they are placed very close together, and are often bent slightly backwards. Their external margin is somewhat oblique, and is furnished in all except, perhaps, the most anterior, with a pore. The small feet are entirely concealed beneath the broad body. The male appendages (Fig. 61) consist of two pairs of acute feet-like processes. It affords me much pleasure to dedicate this species to Medical Inspector John L. Le Conte, U. S. A., as an acknowledgment of the many assistances which he has afforded me in the prosecution of my studies.
