I8OPODS OF NORTH AMERICA. 619 



the uropoda extends almost to the extremity of the posterior angle of 

 the lateral part of the fifth abdominal segment, which is a little shorter 

 than the tip of the apical process of the sixth segment. The inner 

 branch is 1 mm. long and is partly concealed by the apical process of 

 the sixth abdominal segment; it extends to the middle of the outer 

 branch. The outer branch is 1 mm. long, and extends about two- 

 thirds of its length beyond the apical process of the sixth abdominal 

 segment. 



All the legs are ambulatory in structure. 



In color it is a dark brown with three longitudinal lines of light 

 yellow, one median and one on either side at the place of union of the 

 epimera with the segments. Between the median line of light yellow 

 and the lateral lines are wavy lines of light yellow on the brown color, 

 giving it a broken, mottled effect. 



The surface of the body is covered with low granules.

Bodj^ nearly twice as long as wide, 7 mm. : 13 mm. 



Head twice as wide as long, 1 mm. :3 mm., with the front pro- 

 duced in three lobes, the antero-lateral lobes being large and 

 rounded, the median lobe wide but short and almost truncate on its 

 anterior margin. The eyes are small, oval, composite, and situated at 

 the base of the antero-lateral lobes. The first pair of antennas are 

 rudimentary and inconspicuous. The basal article of the second pair of 

 antennae is short; the second and third are subequal and each is twice 

 as long as the first; the fourth is one and a half times as long as the 

 third; the fifth is one and a half times longer than the fourth. The 

 flagellum is composed of two articles, the first of which is one and a 

 half times longer than the second. The second antennae extend to the 

 posterior margin of the third thoracic segment. The second article
