 species. Body length (excluding setae on caudal rami) 0.71 mm 

 (0.65-0.76 mm) and greatest width 0.27 mm (0.23-0.30 mm), based 

 on 10 specimens. Ratio of length of prosome to its width 1.5:1. 



Segment of leg 5 25^ x 66m. Genital segment 151/i x 117^. P'our 

 postgenital segments 14^ x 45/i, 16/x x 42ix, 13m x 40m, and 17m x 42M,respec- 

 tively, from anterior to posterior. Caudal ramus 25m x 21m, or 1.19:1. 



Ratio of length of prosome to that of urosomc 1.57:1.

Rostral area like that of female. First antenna resembling that 

 of L. organicus, with same formula for setae and aesthetes. Second 

 antenna also resembling that species; last segment 73m along outer 

 edge, 54m along inner edge, and 14m wide. Two claws (34m and 35m) 

 similar to those in L. organicus.
