In Stebbing's paper will be found a complete list of references and 

 synonyms ; and also a key to the species of the genus, in using 

 which, however, the papers of Hansen and Miss Eichardson must 

 be borne in mind, for many of the species included in the key have 

 been transferred by these authors to other genera.

A nonovigerous female agrees well with Whitelegge's description, 

 as modified by Stebbing to include a specimen with 2 low bosses on 

 telson ; it also agrees with Miers' description of the $ of C. latreillei 

 and with another South African specimen which has in addition an 

 incipient median process on 7th peraeon segment, and is a young $ . 

 Details of ? are as follows : 



Whole body covered with short thick pubescence. The greatest 

 width and the greatest height are in the 1st peraeon segment. The 

 fore part of the body in consequence appears enlarged. The 4th 

 segment of pleon has a hardly perceptible median boss, telson with
