grovt cilierede Børster, 4 paa Iste og SJ paa 2det Led, 

 ordnede i 2 alternerende Rader. Sidste Led (Fig. 1 f), 

 der forestiller Haanden, er særdeles lidet og ender i en 

 konisk tilspidset Fortsats, hvis ydre Parti er afgrændset 

 ved en Tværsutnr. I nogen Afstand fra denne Fortsats 

 er til Leddets forreste Side fæstet et yderst lidet 2-leddet 

 Appendix, der ifølge sin Stilling maa betragtes som et 

 Rudiment af den bevægelige Finger, ligesom den ovenom- 

 talte koniske Fortsats synes at repræsentere den uhevægelige 

 Finger. Hos yngre Individer er, som forst af Dr. Hansen 

 paavist, Haanden udviklet til en fuldstændig, skjondt for- 

 holdsvis meget liden Chela, med kloformige, i Enden sterkt 

 krummede Fingre (se Fig. 1 g, 1 li), liver med et Par 

 Smaatænder i Inderkanten. 



Folerne (Fig. 1 i) er mere end 1 j 2 Gang længere end 

 Saxlemmerne og bæres ialmindelighed sterkt S-formigt eller 

 rettere zigzag-formigt hoiede. De er af spinkel Form, hist 

 og her besatte med grove Borster 'og sammensatte af 10 

 vel begrændsede Led. hvoraf det 3die er længst. De 2 

 forste Led er meget korte og ogsaa 4de Led forholdsvis 

 lidet, hvorimod 5te Led er af betydelig Størrelse, skjondt 

 mindre end 3,die. De 5 øvrige Led forestiller Endedelen 

 og er alle forholdsvis korte, dog 2det noget længere end de 

 øvrige. Som hos Slægten Ammothea er de i Inderkanten 

 besatte med fine og tette Borster. 



De falske Fodder (se Fig. 1 b, 1 k) er temmelig 

 sterkt forlængede. lige vidstrakte omtrent af Legemets 

 Længde, og viser idethele en fuldkommen normal Bygning. 

 De bestaar af 10 vel begrændsede Led, hvoraf 4de og 5te 

 som sædvanlig er længst. Hos Hannen er 4de Led noget 

 længere end 5te og begge besatte med fine ombøiede 

 Borster. Endedelen er ikke fuldt dobbelt saa lang som 

 ■"ili> Led og har Leddene successivt aftagende i Storrelse. 

 De 4 yderste er i den indre Kant bevæbnede med en 

 dobbelt Rad af grovt saugtakkede Torner (se Fig. 1 m, 

 1 n). Endekloen (se Fig. 1 m) er tydeligt udviklet. skjondt 

 forholdsvis kort og ganske glat. 



. Gangfødderne (se Fig. 1. 1 o) er ikke fuldt dobbelt 

 saa lange som Legemet, naar Snabelen fraregnes, og af 

 temmelig spinkel Form, samt successivt afsmalnende fra 

 Basis til Enden. De er besatte med stærke, delvis grovt 

 cilierede Børster, der er bøiede i forskjellige Retninger og 

 giver dem et laaddent Udseende. Hofteleddene er navnlig 

 hos Hunnen stærkt opsvulmede, da Ovarierne, uligt hvad 

 Tilfældet pleier at være, er indskrænkede til dette Parti, 

 uden at strække sig ind i Laarleddet. Dette sidste Led 

 er derfor hos begge Kjøn meget smalt, af lineær Form, 

 og skiller sig kun hos Hannen ved Tilstedeværelsen nær 

 Basis af et konisk tilspidset Fremspring (se Fig. 1 o). 

 De 2 Lægled er begge omtrent af samme Længde som 

 Laarleddet, men kjendelig smalere, navnlig det sidste. 

 Endepartiet (se Fig. 1 p) er noget kortere end 2det Lægled 

 og har Tarsalleddet særdeles lidet, hvorimod Fodleddet er 

 temmelig forlænget, ganske svagt krummet og lidt fortykket 

 i sit basale Parti. Begge Led er tøt besatte med korte 



strong, coarsely ciliated bristles, 4 on the Ist and 9 on 

 the 2nd joint, arranged in 2 alternating series. The last 

 joint. (fig. 1 f) which represents the hand. is particularly 

 small, and terminates in a conically pointed process whose 

 outer portion is defined by a transversal suture. At some 

 ilistiince from this process an extremely small 2-jointed ap- 

 pendix is secured to the foremost side of the joint, which, 

 Ironi its situation, must be regarded as a rudiment of the 

 mobile finger, just as the above mentioned process appears 

 to represent the immobile finger. In young individuals. as 

 first shewn by Dr. Hansen, the hand is developed to a 

 perfect, although relatively verv small chela with claw- 

 shaped ringers strongly bent at the end (see fig. 1 g, 1 h). 

 each with a couple of small teeth on the inner margin. 



The palpi (fig. 1 i) are more than one half longer 

 than the chelifori, and are usually carried curved in strang 

 S-forni or. more correctly speaking. zig-zag form. They are 

 slender in structure and beset here and there with coarse 

 bristles. and composed of 10 well defined joints, of which 

 the 3rd is the longest. The 2 first joints are very short, 

 and the 4th joint is, also, relatively small, whilst the 5th 

 joint is of considerable size although a good deal smaller 

 than the 3rd one. The other 5 joints represent the terminal 

 part and are all relatively short, still the 2nd is somewhat 

 longer than the others. They are, as in the genus Am- 

 mothea, beset on the inner edge with fine, close-set bristles. 



The false legs (see fig. 1 b, 1 k) are rather greatlv 

 elongated, straightly extended about same length as the 

 body. and altogether exhibit a perfectly normal structure 

 They consist of 10 well marked joints, of which the 4th 

 and 5th are, as usual, the longest. In the male the 4th 

 joint is somewhat longer than the 5th, and both are beset 

 with fine recurved bristles. The terminal part is not 

 quite twice as long as the 5th joint, and the joints 

 diminish successively in size. The 4 outermost ones are 

 armed on the inner margin with a double series of coarse. 

 serrated spines (see fig. 1 m. 1 n). The terminal claw 

 (see fig. 1 m) is distinctly developed, although relatively 

 short and quite smooth. 



The ambulatory legs (see fig. 1, 1 o) are not quite. 

 twice as long as the body when the proboscis is excluded, 

 pretty slender in form. and diminish progressively from 

 the base to the extremity. They are beset with strong. 

 to some extent coarsely ciliated bristles, which are bent in 

 various directions and impart a hirsute appearance to 

 them. The coxal joints, especially in the female, are 

 greatlv tumefied. as the ovaries, unlike what is usually the 

 case, are confined to that part without extending fchem- 

 selves into the femoral joint. The last-named joint is, 

 therefore, in both sexes, very narrow. linear in form, and 

 is only distinguished in the male by the presence near the 

 base of a conically pointed prominence (see fig. 1 o). The 

 2 tibial joints are both about same length as the femoral 

 joint, but appreciably narrower, especially the last one. 

 The terminal part (see fig. 1 p) is somewhat shorter than 

 the 2nd tibial joint and the tarsal joint is particularly 

 small, while the propodal joint is pretty much elongated,
