ART. 24. ISOPODA COLLECTED IN JAVA — SEARLE. 3 



abdominal segment, and is just a little longer tlian wide. The inner 

 branch is not visible in a dorsal vieAv, as it extends only about three- 

 quarters of the length of the segment. The outer branch is small and 

 is inserted about the middle of the inner lateral margin of the basal 

 iirticle (in a dorsal view). 



Eleven specimens come from Nongkodjadjar, Java, and one speci- 

 men is from Nusa Kambangan, Java. 



This species is close to Cuharis rectifvonH (Dollfus), but differs 

 from it in the form of the coxopodites of the first thoracic segment, 

 which are represented only by a notch at the post-lateral angle of 

 the segment, while in C . rectifrons^ they are distinctly separated on 

 the posterior quarter of the segment and neatly divergent. The inner 

 branches of the uropoda are also slightly longer in the new species 

 and the outer branch situated not at the extremity of the basal article, 

 but about half the distance of the inner margin of the basal article. 



The type is in the United States National Museum (Cat. No. 

 54474). The cotype is in the Leyden Museum. 



Genus TORADJIA Dollfus. 



TORADJIA DOLLFUSI, new species. 



riate 1, fig. 2. 



Body oval, contractile into a ball, 5^ nmi. : 9 mm. Surface, smootli ; 

 color in alcohol mottled brown and yellow. 



Head large, quadrangular, about twice as wide as long, 2 mm. : 1 mm. 

 Epistome furnished with a high carina, narrow and sharp, which 

 forms on the dorsal side of the head a sharp triangular projection be- 

 tween the produced ocular lobes. Dorsal surface of head smooth, not 

 oarinate. Antero-lateral angles of the ocular lobes not rounded. Eyes 

 small. Avith about twelve ocelli. First pair of antennae minute, com- 

 })osed of two small articles. Second pair short, extending about two- 

 thirds the length of the first thoracic segment ; flagellum composed of 

 two articles, the second about twice as long as the first. 



The first segment of the thorax is large, about twice as long as any 

 of the six following segments, and has the lateral parts extended and 

 somewhat upcurved with the antero-lateral angles produced as far as 

 the antero-lateral angles of the head. There is a very slight post- 

 lateral fold into which the second segment fits. The three following 

 segments have a thickening on the anterior part of the underside, very 

 indistinct. The first two segments of the abdomen have the lateral 

 parts covered by the last thoracic segment. The lateral parts of the 

 three following segments are produced. The terminal segment is tri- 

 angular, with the apex well rounded. The uropoda have the basal 

 article large, extending as far as the post-lateral angles of the fifth 

 abdominal segment and beyond the terminal segment. The inner 

 branch is slightly longer than the outer branch, which is inserted on
