than the second. The second pair of antennae extend to the middle of 

 the third thoracic segment. 



The segments of the thorax are subequal, the first one having the 

 autero-lateral angles produced so as to surround the head and extend- 

 ing as far as the base of the antero-lateral lobes. The epimera are 

 perfectly united with the segments. 



All six segments of the abdomen are distinct, the first two having 

 the lateral parts concealed by the seventh thoracic segment. The 

 lateral parts of the third, fourth, and fifth segments are produced to 

 continue the oval outline of the body. The sixth, or terminal, seg- 

 ment is 2 mm. wide at the base, is triangulate, with apex produced 

 in a long, narrow process. The sixth segment is 2 mm. long from 

 the base to the extremity. There is a shallow groove extending the 

 length of the produced apex of the terminal segment. The basal 

 article or peduncle of the uropoda -extends to the tip of the posterior 

 angles of the lateral parts of the fifth abdominal segment. The inner 

 branch is li mm. long, and is partly concealed dorsally by the apical 

 process of the terminal abdominal segment, but extends half its length 

 beyond this process. The outer branch is 2 mm. long, and extends 

 almost its entire length beyond the extremity of the terminal abdomi- 

 nal segment. 



The legs are all ambulatory in character and spinulose. 



In color it is a dark gray, with two longitudinal bands of a lighter 

 color in wavy stripes, one on either side of the median line.
