Specific Characters. Female. Body moderately slender, with the anterior 

 division narrow oblong in outline, greatest width not nearly attaining half the 

 length and occurring somewhat in front of the middle. Cephalic segment very 

 large, occupying about half the length of the body, and exhibiting across the 

 back behind a rather slight suture limiting the cephalon from the 1st trunkal 

 segment; lower edges strongly bulging in front of the middle. Lateral lappets 

 of 3rd segment rather large, wing-like, and acuminate at the end, extending 

 about as far as the middle of the genital segment; 4th segment well defined, 

 and somewhat angular laterally. Tail slightly exceeding half the length of 

 the anterior division and having its 2 segments well defined, the proximal 

 one (genital segment) rather tumid and carinated below, the carina forming 

 in front of the middle a projecting angle; distal caudal segment about half as 

 long as the proximal one and evenly narrowed behind. Caudal rami rather 

 slender, being fully twice as long as the anal segment, and conspicuously 

 divergent; seta of outer edge very small and attached at a short distance from 

 the end, the outer corner of which is produced to a small dentiform projection; 

 inner apical seta about the length of the corresponding ramus and more than 

 twice as long as the outer. Anterior antennae with the joints not much dif- 

 ferent in size and clothed with slender diverging setae. Posterior antennas with 

 a long spiniform seta issuing from the end of the basal joint anteriorly; middle 

 joint large, oblong oval in form, and carrying inside the base a similar, but 

 much shorter seta, its anterior edge forming a thin lamella divided at the end 

 into 2 unequal dentiform projections, terminal joint armed at the base with 2 

 claw-like spines and carrying at the end a similar spine and a much stronger 

 curved claw. Posterior maxillipeds with the propodos not much dilated and 

 provided near the end with a short spine; dactylus about the length of the 

 propodos. Outer ramus of the 3 anterior pairs of legs rather strongly built, 

 with the terminal joint much the largest and armed with 4 spines, one on the 

 tip and 3 on the outer edge; inner ramus scarcely more than half as long and 

 much narrower, its terminal joint being provided in the 1st pair with 5, 

 in the 2nd pair with 4, and in the 3rd pair with only 2 setae. 4th pair of 

 legs conspicuously smaller than the 3 preceding ones, outer ramus with no
