 rounded rostrum. Eyes large, facetted. First pair of antennae 

 short, shorter than the breadth of the head ; flagellum multi-

Only species, lathrippa longicauda, Chilton. 



136a. Armadillo amhitiosus, Budde-Lund. 



This species was originally described in the " Prospectus 

 generum specierumque Crustaceorum Isopodum terrestrium " 

 (Copenhagen, 1879). The following somewhat abbreviated 

 description is taken from the same author's " Crustacea Iso- 

 poda Terrestria" (1885), p. 34 :— 



" Oval oblong, strongly convex, nearly smooth but minutely 

 punctate. 



" Antenna (?). Eyes large, with about 20 ocelli. Epistome 

 with its superior margin reaching a little beyond the front at 

 the sides, but not in the middle. Clypeus with medium-sized 

 lobes. 



"First thoracic segment with a thin lateral margin, and 

 with a small tooth on the inside of the posterior portion ('?). 

 Second segment with the lateral margin entire, thickened in 

 front ; posterior margin of the first (few) segments distinctly 

 sinuate on both sides. 



" Anal segment longer than broad, somewhat contracted in 

 the middle, apex truncately rounded. Basal joint of the anal 

 feet one and a half times (or more) as long as broad, narrow- 

 ing greatly towards the apex ; external branch small but 

 conspicuous ; internal branch shorter than the last segment. 



" Colour nearly uniform brown. 



" Length, 14mm. ; breadth, 7mm. ; height 3-5mm. 



" Habitat. New Zealand; a single defective specimen pre- 

 served in the Cambridge Museum, Mass. (U.S.A.)." 



Unfortunately, no figures of this species are given. 



In the same work, p. 46 ("Crust. Isop. Terrestr."), Budde- 

 Lund describes another new species belonging to the section 

 Arraadilloidea, under the name Cylloma oculatimi, this being 

 the only species of the genus. The following is his descrip- 

 tion of both genus and species : — 



Cylloma. 



"External antenn£e(?). Internal antennse with the first 

 joint very short, third very long and straight. Eyes com-
