 spines, the first longest and placed on the upper margin of rostrum, which 

 extends a little beyond the eyes; the second spine nearly as long as the first, 

 placed immediately behind the base of the rostrum. The spines are directed 

 obliquely forward and upward. Lateral keels formed by four spines, the fore- 

 most, on the anterior margin of carapace near the base of antenna?, is the longest, 

 and directed obliquely forward and outward, more than half as long as the cara- 

 pace; the three others are smaller, but sharp. Abdomen sculptured, first to sixth 

 segment with a median keel, that of the third arched and produced somewhat 

 posteriorly, that ofthesixth finely furrowed and ending in twospines posteriorly. 

 Two other spines are placed at the posterior margin of this segment, one on each 

 side. Fifth segment, on the posterior margin, near the median line, with a sharp 

 spine on each side. Lateral faces of the first to fifth segment sculptured by two 

 irregular transverse furrows, sixth segment laterally with an indistinct longi- 

 tudinal ridge. EpimeTa of the first to fourth segment triangular, inferior angles 

 blunt, without spines. Keel of sternum dentate, but not spinoso-serrate. 



Two specimens are in the Museum of the Academy of Natural Science of 

 Philadelphia.
