Nine specimens were obtained by the llarrinian Expedition at 

 Yakutat, Alaska. Thoy were collected ])y Mr. T. Kincaid, after whom 

 the species is named. Five females and four males were collected. 

 The legs of the first })air in the male are 

 not greatly longer than the others; they 

 are longer in the type species of '/(//> !r<>j>s!s.

few articulations, the greatly dilated joints of the maxillipeds, the 

 form and shape of the peduncle of the first pleopoda in the male, which 

 has the distal extremity fused wdth the branch and produced and dilated 

 at the tip, and the shortness of the uropoda, which are only half the 

 length of the terminal segment of the body, are characters which 

 undoubtedly place this species with Jauropsis Sars.

/*. Rostrum as long as head. Flagellum of first pair of anteiuKe composed of 

 twelve articles, shorter than the breadth of the head. Flagellum of second

 than the second. Second and third segments equal, and longest, much longer 

 than the seventh. Terminal segment smooth on dorsal side, without spine- 

 like tubercle. Peduncles of uropoda longer than post-lateral angulations of 

 terminal segment lolella spinosa { Harger ) 



« In a recent letter, Doctor Ortmann informed me that Talc was a typographical 

 error for lole, and asked me to correct the mistake in this paper. As Me, however, 

 is preoccupied, having been proposed V)y Pascoe (Trans. Ent. Soc. London, new 

 series, IV, 1858, p. 254) for a genus of Coleoptera, I suggest the new name, lolella. 

 In Marshall and Scudder, instead of I, J has been used for Me, although I is given 

 in the original reference. (See Sars for characters of genus, Crust, of Norway, II, 

 1899, pp. 100-101.)
