proximal portion of the propodal joint comprises about one-half 

 the length and supports the two primary finger-like spines, which 

 are slender, elongate, much curved distally and overlapping below 

 the apices. This palm-like portion of the propodal joint supports 

 a long primary, or finger-like spine, very curved distally, and 

 arieing from the base of this primary on the outer side a long, 

 distally procurved spine, two-thirds as long as the primary, and 

 from the inner side of the base of this primary a second, long, 

 curved spine, which is only half the length of the primary. Also 

 from the base of this primary there is a weaker, shorter, slenderer 

 spine, a little over one-third of the length of the primary, and with 

 the apex directed obliquely inward, toward the upper "finger" 

 or primary. At the base of this weak spine there is a single, very 

 short spinule. The terminal joint is a strong unguiculate primary, 

 distally curved, this portion overlapping below the apex upon the 

 lower "finger," There is one strong, slender spine arising from 

 the base of the upper "finger" and extending closely beside it on 

 the outer side, with the apex not at all curved and extending to 

 that point where the two fingers cross. 



The copulatory organ of the specimens of the present series
