causal side of distal portion of telopodite; extreme distal end of telo- 

 podite tapering to a subacuminate end; cingulum located midway 

 between point of strongest mesial curvature and point of abrupt dorsal 

 curvature; precingular and postcingular portions of telopodite subequal 

 in length. Prefemoral spine weak. 



Color somewhat faded but indicates dorsum was dark brown with 

 light paranota and a light band across each tergite along caudal 

 margin; coUum with a band across cephalic margin as well. 



Type locality: Bluff along North Fork Hols ton River, 2 miles 

 southeast of Hayters Gap, Washington County, Va. Known only 

 from the type locality. 



Type specimens: Collected by Leslie Hubricht, July 15, 1950. 

 Male holotype and female allotype in the U. S. National Museum. 

 Female paratype in the author's collection. 



Discussion : This is another species intermediate between the old 

 Braehoria and the old Tucoria. Assignment of turneri to either of 

 these genera would have been purely an arbitrary decision. Perhaps 

 this species, more than any other, shows that the old generic separa- 

 tion is untenable and should be abandoned. 



I take great pleasure in naming this species for my advisor and 

 friend, Dr. E. Craig Turner, Jr.

Diagnosis: Distinguished from all other species of the genus by 

 the presence of four small spines on the outer surface of the post- 

 cingular portion of the telopodite of the male gonopods. 



Desckiption: Length of male holotype, 40 mm.; width, 9.3 mm. 



Collum subellipsoidal, ends of paranota rounded; paranotal swellings 

 absent; presence or absence of ridges along cephalic margins of para- 

 nota unknown to author. 



Paranotal swellings absent from segments 2 and 3, weakly present 

 on segment 4 and all succeeding segments. Paranota of segments 

 2-4 rounded, those of segments 5-14 rather square. 



Sterna of 3d, 4th, 5th, and 6th pairs of legs each with a pair of 

 processes. 



Coxal armature very weak. 



Male gonopods of medium size (about 1.7 mm. in telopodite arc 

 length and 1.8 mm. in arc width); telopodite broad; curving cephalo-
