 flattened, with rounded margins; the inner branch is smaller and 

 narrower, and rounded posteriorly. 



There are only six pairs of legs, the appendages of the last thoracic 

 segment being wanting.

margin. The external antennae, with a flagellum of two joints, extend 

 to the middle of the first thoracic segment, and are geniculate at the 

 articulation of the third and fourth joints. 



The thoracic segments are subequal in length. The seventh segment 

 is abruptly narrower than the six preceding segments, and not wider 

 than the first two abdominal segments. The seventh thoracic and the 

 first and second abdominal segments have the lateral parts undevel- 

 oped. The first six thoracic and the third, fourth, and fifth abdominal 

 segments have the lateral parts lamellarly expanded, so that the regular 

 outline of the body is preserved, the third abdominal segment not 

 being narrower than the six thoracic segment, the lateral portions of 

 which extend down lateral!} 7 beyond the seventh thoracic and the first 

 and second abdominal segments. 



The terminal abdominal segment is quadrangular, with the posterior 

 margin produced in a median rounded lobe. The uropoda extend but 

 a short distance beyond the lateral parts of the fifth abdominal seg-
