of the second antennae extends to the posterior margin of the second 



thoracic segment. The palp of the maxillipeds is composed of five 



articles. 



The first four segments of the thorax are subequal and each is about 



mm. longer than any of the last three, which are subequal. The 

 epimera are perfectly united with the segments, faint 

 lines of depression marking the place of coalescence. 



All six segments of the abdomen are distinct, the first 

 two being a little shorter than the three following, and 

 having the lateral parts covered by the seventh thoracic 

 segment. The third, fourth, and fifth segments gradu- 

 ally increase in length, and have the post-lateral angles 

 produced backward in acute processes, which have a 

 faintly marked carina crossing them obliquely. The

 TWO JOINTS). > lateral angles, which are acute, are two small points. 

 The peduncle of the uropoda is 3 mm. long. The 

 branches are 5 mm. in length and subequal. 



The legs are all ambulatory, and have the dactylus bi-unguiculate. 

 The first pair in the male have the propodus armed at the distal end 

 on the inner margin with a conspicuous triangular process, similar to 

 that in L. exotica.
