Antennae composed of 7 joints, with the sixth the longest. The collum has the anterior edge at middle curved ventrad to fit the concavity of the head. Somewhat finely punctate and setigerous, with one large and one small black densely setigerous area near each angle; black dotted over the middle. The second plate margined anteriorly and laterally and ridged anteriorly; closely punctate. Other tergites closely punctate and the anterior half with black dots. The pygidium punctate; showing secondary sexual characteristic in that in the male the cau dal border bears a small projection on the middle. (Figs. 14 and 15). Legs usually with one spine above the claw and four to six spines below it. The vulva is composed of two pieces, the distal portion, the operculum very large, sur mounting the proximal portion and shaped somewhat like a rounded triangle. The proximal portion, the bursa, is smaller than the operculum, somewhat subrectangular. The genital open ing is wide, elliptical and shows a sclerotized piece on the left wall. (Fig. 16). The third telopodite, the tibiotarsus, of the anterior gonopods smaller and shorter than the others, with a series of five to seven stridulatory organs, abruptly and slightly bent distally toward the second telopodite. In the second telopodite, the femur is the largest and bears an internal process. (Figs. 17 and 18). In the posterior gonods, both fingers are concave internally and slightly bent distally. The immovable finger is longer, blunted and hirsute distally. The movable finger, the tibiotarsus, is short and pointed and bears a series of stridulation organs more than ten in number.

Locality: Two males and one female from Mt. Makiling, Luzon, Philippines (C. F. Baker). Types: One male holotype (P. I. No.5), one male paratype (P. I. No.4) and one female allo type (P. I. No.6) all in Dr. Chamberlin's collection, University of Utah. 2. One Suborder Glomeridioidei Brandt 1833 species, Zygethomeris lamprus Chamberlin, from Borneo, which belongs to the family sub-family Glomerinae, is also represented in this collection from the Philip Glomeridae and pine Islands.
