Body much compressed, reaching to 25 mm. in length, 

 usually only half as long. Spines on the limbs rather few and 

 slender. Second antennae about a third as long as the body, 

 directed straight forward from the body. Coxal plates of 2nd 

 gnathopoda and 1st pereiopoda produced into an acute apo- 

 physis on the posterior margin. Males very seldom met with, 

 showing dimorphism, some resembling the females and a few 

 havmg rugose processes on the 1st gnathopoda and a large 

 broadly ovoid propodos in the 2nd gnathopoda. Posterior 

 pair of pereiopoda very long. Pleopoda very much reduced in 

 size. 



Hab. — Among dead leaves, decayed wood, roots of grass, 

 &c., in the bush, often many miles from the sea. 



Locality. — In all parts of the colony.
