"This species, so remarkable from the peculiarities pre- 

 sented by the last thoracic and the first abdominal segments, 

 was found by the Swedish naturalist, Trybom, at Multrooma 

 Falls, Oregon." 



The above is the description as given by Dr. Lilljeborg 

 (de Guerne et Eichard, '89b). It agrees with the specimens 

 sent me by himself, but I note a few additional details. 



The abdomen of the female, seen from above, is asymmet- 

 rical, as is also the la.st thoracic segment. The first abdom- 

 inal segment is dilated anteriorly, and posteriorly is produced 

 on the right to form a blunt, almost semicircular, process. 

 Seen from the side this is fin-shaped, and both this process 

 and the one on the last thoracic segment are penetrated by 

 muscles. The furcal rami are hairy within. 



In the male the peculiar form of the right inner ramus, 

 the extreme shortness of the left leg, and the very irregular 

 shape of its last segment are especially characteristic. The 

 spines on the first basal segment of each leg and the teeth 

 on the terminal segment of the right leg are also conspicuous 

 because of their great size. 



The peculiarity of a dorsal process is found, to my knowl- 

 edge, in but two other species : D. saniinineus Forbes, and D. 

 stqnicauda Lilljeborg. In the small size of the inner ramus 

 of the right fifth foot of the male, L). tryhomi approaches the 

 male of D. sanguineus Forbes, 1). iniiintus Lillj., and D. Vdi- 

 ioiii Forbes. 



De Guerne and Piichard give Multrooma Falls as the 

 locality, which was probably intended for Multnomah Falls, 

 Oregon, although Prof. Lilljeborg in a personal letter also 

 gives the former spelling.
