This species is rather doubtful and may have to be suppressed, but 

 until further evidence is furnished it may be allowed to stand for the 

 present. It is ver}' close to Cirolana parva.

 times longer than broad. Head transverse; eves large, 

 black. First pair of antennse extend to the end of the 

 peduncle of the second pair; tiagellum nine jointed.

 of the third thoracic segment; tiagellum twent^'-three 

 jointed. 



First thoracic segment but little longer than those 

 following, which are subequal in length. First ab- 

 dominal segment entirely covered by 

 seventh thoracic segment. Terminal 

 segment triangulate with rounded ex- 

 tremity, its posterior margin denticu- 

 late and bearing eight spines, the 

 spines alternating with the teeth. The uropoda reach 

 the end of the terminal segment; the inner branch is 

 o])liquelv truncate posteriorly, and armed with spines; 

 the outer branch is shorter and more slender than 

 the inner branch, is pointed at its extremity, and
