ferior margin, all the furrows and spaces between the rugosities are 

 covered with bristly pilosities. The fingers are about two-thirds as 

 long as the palm and are distinctly down-curved, the outer surfaces 

 of both are longitudinally grooved, the proximal part of these grooves 

 pilose ; the finger tips are pointed, not spoon-shaped ; the lower finger 

 has one large molar and a smaller tooth; the upper finger has two 

 blunt rounded teeth. 



The ambulatories have the meral, carpal and propodal joints wide, 

 with their upper margins cristate, their outer surfaces especially on 

 the carpus and propodus are pitted and granulose, the interstices 

 being setose ; the postlateral margin of the propodus has a dense brush 

 of setae, as also have both the inner and outer lateral margins of the 

 slender, horn-tipped dactyl. 



The antennulae fold transversely and have the basal articles quite 

 granulose. The interantennulary septum is wide and strong. 



The antennae have the basal peduncular article short and wide, 

 with the inner distal angle produced to a blunt point touching the 

 deflected frontal margin, and the outer distal angle produced to an 

 acute point, touching the inferior orbital margin; the flagellum is 

 short, extending into the orbital hiatus, but not equal in length to the 

 diameter of the orbit. 



The external maxillipeds have a dense brush of bristles along the 

 inner lateral margin of the ischium. The distal margin of the merus 

 is a little oblique.
