 lateral angles of the head also produced, 

 c. Antero-lateral angles of head sharp. Lateral margins of first four thoracic 

 segments obtusely incised, each showing two broad angulations. l)roj)oda 

 of female shorter than half the terminal segment; those of male as long as 



terminal segment of body Janira tncornis (Kr0yer) 



c^. Antero-lateral angles of the head very slightly produced and rounded. Mar-
